Spotify Wrapped has arrived! How to discover yours and what's new in 2025

New York The holiday season brings an early treat for Spotify users: the arrival of Spotify Wrapped, the annual review of personal listening habits, released on December 3. This years edition introduces several fresh features, offering listeners a deeper dive into their music trends and preferences.

Spotify Wrapped has grown into a cultural event, with users eagerly sharing their statistics on social media and reflecting on the songs they played repeatedly. The 2025 version adds new tools, including Listening Age, which estimates the age of a users musical taste, and Clubs, a feature that groups listeners according to their listening styles.

In a media preview on December 2, the creators of Wrapped expressed confidence that fans would embrace the 2025 edition, especially after some criticism last year regarding AIs involvement in generating the reports. Spotify emphasized that most of the content is manually curated by global teams, with only a small portion, such as the listener archive, powered by AI. The design pays homage to mixtape culture, evoking nostalgia for traditional music-sharing experiences.

Accessing Your Spotify Wrapped

To view your personal Wrapped, ensure your Spotify app is updated. Open the app, and a banner should appear, guiding you to your report. The data covers listening activity from January 1 through mid-November.

New Features in Spotify Wrapped 2025

• Listening Age: Calculates how old your musical preferences are based on song release dates.
• Clubs: Categorizes listeners into groups such as Soft Hearts, Serotonin, Cosmic Stereo, Full Charge, Grit Collective, or Cloud State Society. Users can see their role in the club and the artist that influenced their placement.
• Artist Quiz and Sprint: A quiz guesses your top artist, followed by a dynamic artist sprint showing monthly listening trends leading to the final winner.
• Top Albums: A new category highlighting favorite albums of the year.
• Listener Archive: Showcases key moments in a users listening journey, such as sharing or discovering music, powered by AI.

Spotify Wrapped Party

A standout addition is Spotify Wrapped Party, which transforms the experience from solo to social. Users can invite up to nine friends to compare listening stats in real time, discovering who listened to the most music, found the rarest tracks, or dominated specific podcast topics. This interactive feature draws inspiration from shared viewing experiences popularized during the pandemic.

Overall, Spotify Wrapped 2025 offers fans a more engaging, detailed, and communal way to celebrate their musical year.
