If you didn’t know, Spotify’s Wrapped lets users reflect on their favorite music from the year and see their streaming data from the past 12 months. You can also share your stats with friends, compare your top artists and songs for the year, and poke fun at the embarrassing songs that ended up on your charts.
As for when to expect it, customers don’t know when they will get their Wrapped until it’s already here. However, there are predictions for when you can expect to see it arrive.
Here’s what to know.
What date does Spotify Wrapped come out in 2025?
Spotify has yet to announce when 2025 Wrapped will be released; however, based on previous years, USA TODAY reports that it typically comes out in late November or early December.
Last year, Spotify Wrapped dropped on Dec. 4. In 2023, Wrapped dropped on Nov. 29.
When was the first-ever Spotify Wrapped?
Spotify Wrapped debuted in 2015 with its “Year in Music” feature, enabling users to see which artists they listened to the most over the previous year.
Over the years, the platform has added more graphic design and data personalization features, later changing the name to “Spotify Wrapped.”
How to see Spotify Wrapped breakdown
According to last year’s instructions, users must update their Spotify to the latest version.
The “Spotify Wrapped” package should appear on the front page of the platform’s iOS and Android apps. Users can expect to see an invitation to view their Wrapped report when they open the app.
Does Apple Music have a yearly recap like Spotify? When does Apple Music Replay 2025 come out?
For Apple Music listeners who might feel left out, you will have your end-of-the-year present to open as well.
Apple Music Replay compiles the listening data of Apple Music users for the year, including their top songs, artists, albums, and total minutes listened to. The platform released this feature in 2022 to compete against the popular Wrapped.
In 2024 and 2022, Apple Music Replay was released in the first week of December. In 2023, it dropped in the last week of November. Based on past years, Apple Replay will likely be released in the first week of December 2025.
How to see your Apple Music Replay
Apple Music users can access their Replay by locating the “Listen Now” tab in the app, scrolling to the “Replay” section, tapping the “Replay ’25” playlist, and then selecting the plus button in the top right.
After that, Apple Music users can check out their “Replay ’25” throughout the year in the “Playlists” section of their library.
Where is my YouTube Music recap? How to find YouTube’s ‘My Music’ recap
YouTube Music listeners got their first taste of an end-of-year music recap in 2023. Mimicking Spotify’s approach, YouTube Music listeners see their most-listened-to songs, artists, and albums, and the platform matches them to moods and themes.
To access your YouTube Music Recap, log in to your account on the app or in a browser. You can also access your recap from the regular YouTube app. The 2024 YouTube recap was released on Nov. 25. The 2025 recap will likely be released in the last week of November or early December, based on past years.
Is there a SoundCloud version of Spotify Wrapped?
SoundCloud has a version of Spotify Wrapped called SoundCloud Playback. It isn’t as social media-friendly as the other streaming platform recaps, but it sums up each user’s listening habits on a year-by-year basis. SoundCloud’s Playback is in the format of a playlist, including your most-listened-to songs from the past year.
SoundCloud users don’t have access to their 2025 Playback playlists yet, but they should receive an email when they’re released. SoundCloud’s Playback playlists are anticipated to drop soon, as they are based on the music each listener has played between January 1 and November 30 of each year.
Does Pandora have a year recap? Pandora ‘Playback’ wrap-up discontinued
According to posts on the Pandora Community, the music-streaming platform’s Playback year-in-review feature for users is no longer available. It is unclear when officials discontinued the feature or how long it was available.
