Spotify Wrapped 2025 is here: how to get your personalised musical round-up
Albums are back in a big way this year
It’s been a big year for Spotify. 2025 finally saw the music streaming giant introduce lossless playback, make it easier to import your playlists from rival services, and handed parents more control over what their kids can tune into. Depending on who you ask, though, all that pales in comparison to the annual arrival of Wrapped.
The annual highlighting of the artists, genres and tracks streamed by Spotify’s millions of users has become a fan favourite, and is now in its eleventh year. After Spotify took some flak for letting AI curate your 2024 music tastes, the firm has focused on what listeners care most about – and made it so you’re not forced to start from the beginning if you want to watch a particular clip again.
As well as returning favourites like top genres and a sprint showing how your top five artists shifted in your personal rankings through the months, the Your Top Songs 2025 playlist now shows how many times you streamed each of your top 100 tunes over the past twelve months.
Top albums have been put in the spotlight for the first time, proving that streaming hasn’t meant the death of traditional track-by-track listening. A new Listening Age compares your musical tastes to others in your age group (I’m 29, apparently – not sure if that’s a compliment or if I should start acting my age) and fan leaderboards will show where you rank among a particular artist’s worldwide listeners, based on how many minutes of play they got from you in 2025.
A Harry Potter sorting hat-style story then assigns you into one of six clubs, which each represent a unique listening style.
If you listen to audiobooks through Spotify expect to see your favoured genres and the book you listened to most, with messages recorded by some of the most popular authors. The firm has also tapped up several big name podcasters to record their own thank you clips.
While a big part of Wrapped’s appeal has always been sharing your results on social media, Spotify has upped the interaction even further this year with Wrapped Party. It turns listening data into a competition with your friends, and should appear at the end of the Wrapped round-up.
How to get Spotify Wrapped 2025

You can also see your personalised Wrapped rundown on a desktop web browser, by heading to spotify.com/wrapped.
Most popular on Spotify in 2025
Taylor Swift didn’t have things all her own way on streaming services this year. With new LP The Life of a Showgirl only releasing in October, the global top album position went to to Bad Bunny, whose Debí Tirar Más Fotos landed in January. The Puerto Rican superstar also ranked as the #1 global top artist, though lead album track DtMF only reached the number five position on the top global songs list. Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars scooped the top spot with Die With A Smile.
Things were a little different in the UK, with Taylor Swift earning the top artist slot, Sabrina Carpenter having the most popular album with Short n’ Sweet, and Alex Warren taking top song honours with Ordinary.
Globally Joe Rogan once again had the most popular podcast, though the controversial host was pushed into second place in the UK by Steven Bartlett’s Diary of a CEO. Audiobooks now also get their own charts, with Rebecca Yarros’ Fourth Wing being the most popular worldwide. The UK preferred Gary Stevenson’s The Trading Game.
