Unveiling Spotify Wrapped, music of your year
Want to find out your favorite music of the year? Spotify Wrapped has you covered.
In the midst of waiting for Spotify Wrapped to drop for 2025, many users are being asked to update their Spotify apps in preparation for the annual musical lookback.
That could be a sign that Spotify Wrapped 2025 is coming soon. How soon? That’s part of the charm of Spotify Wrapped — you never know exactly when it’ll arrive.
Soon, users will be able to look back at the songs, albums, artists, audiobooks and podcasts that made their 2025. Spotify collects the data throughout the year and puts all the stats together in a fun digital presentation that can easily be shared across social media.
Here’s what we know about Spotify Wrapped 2025.
What date does Spotify Wrapped usually come out?
That’s the fun of Spotify Wrapped — we don’t know when to expect it until it’s already here.

Do I have to update Spotify for Wrapped?
Yes, it is recommended to update your Spotify to latest version before Wrapped drops. Updating the app ensures that users have the ability to access their Wrapped when it arrives.
How do I find my Wrapped on Spotify?
Once your Spotify Wrapped for 2025 is ready, a banner will pop up on your Spotify home screen that you can click on to view the year’s findings.
Alternatively, you can type “Wrapped” into the Spotify search bar or go to your library in the app to find it in your playlists.
When does Spotify Wrapped stop tracking?
Spotify begins tracking your year on Jan. 1 and continues through October and into November. How far into November? That’s a mystery we may never solve.
In 2022, Spotify stopped collecting data on Oct. 31. In 2023, they confirmed via an X post on Oct. 26 that Wrapped would keep counting past Halloween. That trend continued in 2024 when they issued a reminder that Wrapped doesn’t stop counting on Oct. 31 via X on Halloween.
