As November comes to an end, Spotify has uploaded its annual Wrapped page while YouTube is also sharing its Music Recap for 2025.
Music streamers often spend thousands or even tens of thousands of minutes every year listening to a variety of songs, scores, playlists, ambient sounds, meditation tracks, and podcasts. Many of them enjoy reviewing a visual summary of their listening habits in the past year that reveals their favourite media genres, as well as a few guilty pleasures.
Sharing one’s yearly music stats on social media is also an excellent way to entice others to sign up with a music streaming service.
“Your listening highlights, and more. Keep playing what you love, and we’ll get in touch when it’s ready. Until then, revisit the top songs of 2024,” noted Spotify on its website as it introduced the basic Wrapped page.
Meanwhile, YouTube has livened up its annual recap with an AI-powered “Ask about your listening” feature, reported the tech outlet 9to5Google.
Google added that users can keep listening to music and podcasts on YouTube in order to get future Recap playlists and stats.
“Your yearly and seasonal Recaps include personalized playlists and stats that bring together your top songs, artists, podcasts, and more from the past year and season. Recaps are made just for you, based on your music and podcast listening history across YouTube platforms. Your Recap gets updated every time a new yearly or seasonal Recap is available. You can always save your previous stats and playlists,” noted Google on its support page.
