Thanksgiving is over, and with just a few weeks left until the New Year, there’s only one thing on music fans’ minds: Spotify Wrapped 2025 is just days away.
Spotify Wrapped offers fans a personalized recap of their year in listening with immersive features. In a 2024 press release, Spotify said that Wrapped gives fans “even more ways to indulge in what they love, from showing them how their taste in music evolved throughout the year to special messages from their favorite artists and podcasters.”
The interactive recap launched in 2015 with the introduction of Year in Music, which gave users a summary of their top artists and listening habits from the past year. The round-up was rebranded as “Spotify Wrapped” in 2016 and has since become a cultural phenomenon, growing more detailed and popular over the last decade.
Some previous features included in Spotify Wrapped are The Music Evolution and Playlist, Top Artist Reimagined and Music Video Playlist. In 2024, Spotify brought AI into the music experience with a personalized AI podcast, an AI DJ and an AI playlist.
Few details have been revealed about Spotify Wrapped 2025, including the release date and the new features that could be added. Instead, Spotify has encouraged users to keep what they love, and then they’ll be in touch “when it’s ready.”
But realistically, how long might you have to wait to get your personalized music stats from the past year? And when does the music-collection window start and end for 2025?
When Is Spotify Wrapped 2025 Coming Out?
Spotify has not announced a release date for Spotify Wrapped 2025. The annual year-end music roundup typically drops in late November or early December.
Over the past seven years, Spotify Wrapped has consistently arrived the week after Thanksgiving. Based on the release pattern of the last four years, a Wednesday launch on Dec. 3, 2025, is the most likely scenario.
Here’s when the feature became available in previous years:
- 2024: Wednesday, December 4
- 2023: Wednesday, November 29
- 2022: Wednesday, November 30
- 2021: Wednesday, December 1
- 2020: Tuesday, December 1
- 2019: Thursday, December 5
- 2018: Thursday, December 6
- 2017: Wednesday, December 13
- 2016: Wednesday, December 14
- 2015: Sunday, December 6
How Can You Get Your Spotify Wrapped 2025?
All you need to access your 2025 Spotify Wrapped is a Spotify account and a few hours of listening, according to the streaming platform. Listeners should also make sure their Spotify iOS or Android app is up to date for the best experience.
How Long Does Spotify Wrapped 2025 Collect Listening Data?
Spotify has never confirmed the exact start and end dates for its listening data window for Spotify Wrapped. What is known is that Spotify begins collecting data at the start of January and concludes sometime in November.
Molly Holder, the senior director of product for personalization at Spotify, confirmed this to Mashable during a Wrapped press presentation last December.
“We start at the beginning of January with all of your listening that begins right then at the beginning of the year, and it goes all the way through collecting data up until a few weeks before we launch the Wrapped product,” she said.
Last year, Spotify clarified that data collection does not end on Oct. 31. “Spotify Wrapped doesn’t stop counting on October 31st,” the music streamer posted on X alongside a jack-o’-lantern graphic.
This means Spotify likely stops collecting data for its annual Wrapped in early to mid-November, so the music you listen to after Wrapped and before January 1 may not factor into your stats.
