Spotify Wrapped has returned for 2025, and it offers three particularly unique features compared to this year's edition of Apple Music Replay.

First, there is a new top song quiz that allows you to guess which track you listened to the most on Spotify this year, before it is revealed.

Second, there is a new Wrapped Party feature on mobile devices that is designed for both group chats in messaging apps and in-person gatherings. This fun and interactive feature lets you compete with up to nine friends, to see who streamed the most minutes of music, who discovered the most new artists, and more throughout the year.

Third, there are now Wrapped Clubs. Spotify will sort you into one of six clubs based on your unique listening history over the past year.

As always, Spotify Wrapped is an end-of-year highlight reel that lets you view the total time you spent listening to music, podcasts, and audiobooks on Spotify. You can also view your top five songs and top five artists that you listened to this year, and for the first time, you can now view your top albums of the year as well.

Just like Apple Music Replay, Spotify Wrapped provides you with a playlist of your top songs in 2025, and highlight reel cards that are designed to be shared on social media platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and Snapchat.

Many other new features were added to Spotify Wrapped this year, so make sure to check out Spotify's list if you are interested in learning more.

Spotify also shared year-end charts and more.

2025 Wrapped is prominently featured at the top of the Spotify app.

Maybe I’m “old” but I never understood the appeal of posting these things for everyone to see. I couldn’t care less what someone listened to during the year just like I don’t care that someone drinks coffee everyday yet feels the need to post it each morning.
The people I do care about, we talk about what we’re listening to already
 
It's kinda cool, especially to have a report of what you listened to the most each month and such. Kind of tells a story in its own way.

But yes, kinda like the person sharing their coffee every morning, it's an egotistical thing to share it to everyone and feels very much like a compulsive trend thing to prop up Spotify as the super cool platform (to overlook its horrible flows)
 
‘Three Important Features!’

1. No way to fill in gaps in the music catalogue with your own CDs

2. Pays artists half the pittance Apple does (which is still a pittance)

3. No way to buy an album outright

‘Three Important Features!’

1. No way to fill in gaps in the music catalogue with your own CDs

2. Pays artists half the pittance Apple does (which is still a pittance)

3. No way to buy an album outright

1. You can add your personal music collection to Spotify. I have several albums that I've ripped from CD that aren't available to stream (from anywhere) added to my Spotify playlists.

2. Yet artists still make more with Spotify because of the volume of subscriptions and streams, but no small-time artists make enough from either of them to matter. For example, a friend and her husband have a fairly popular group, in their area. They make more on a single Bandcamp album purchase than than an entire years worth of royalties from either service. It's a not a career for them, so no biggie, but it does show how little most make.

3. From Spotify? No, but can buy it anywhere else and use it in Spotify.

I've tried Apple Music several times. Just don't like it. 🤷🏻‍♂️
