Music fans are preparing for Spotify Wrapped 2025, the annual feature that showcases your favourite songs, artists and genres of the past year. Spotify has not issued an exact date — though patterns in prior years lean toward a debut release coming the first week of December, on Dec. 3 or 4 most likely. Wrapped launched last year on Dec. 4 and Spotify has already begun to prep by collecting thank-you clips from artists for its top listeners up until November 14.

Data Tracking Timeline
Contrary to what many might believe, Spotify doesn’t cease collecting listening information on October 31. Data collection begins in January and continues until a few weeks before Wrapped launches, according to Spotify’s personalisation head, Molly Holder. Which is to say, listeners still have time to shape the results of their 2025 Wrapped.
What’s New in 2025
Spotify Wrapped has introduced new features each year:
2023: “Sound Town” matched listeners’ habits with a city.
2024: AI hosts narrated personalised music journeys.

As for 2025, one thing we can be sure of is the return of artist video messages in which musicians thank their fans directly. The rumours suggest an evolution of Spotify’s own AI DJ, taking automation and mixing it with personal narration to make the process more interactive.
In an immersive and personalised recap of their musical year, including top tracks, favourite artists and interactive elements that make Wrapped more than a stats summary – it’s a reflection of your 2025 soundtrack.
