Spotify Wrapped Is Back to Haunt Us — When Can We Cringe at Our 2025 Playlist?

Since 2017, streaming platform Spotify has been giving its users a personalized experience with Spotify Wrapped. This annual addition allows Spotify users to see their most-streamed music and podcasts of that year. Since it launched, fans of the yearly wrap-up have begun looking forward to what these playlists will say about their listening habits.

Now that 2025 is almost up, fans are ready for the next Spotify Wrapped. But when does it come out, and when does Spotify stop tracking your listening data for Wrapped?

On Dec. 1, 2025, Spotify dropped a short teaser video on X (formerly Twitter). Set to, you guessed it, jaunty music, the app promised that the 2025 Wrapped results would be "coming soon." While we don't have the exact date yet, we do know that the 2024 Wrapped breakdown dropped on Dec. 4, which was a Wednesday. Perhaps 2025's will be released on Dec. 3.

People in the comments were already sharing their own predictions, with one person asking a very important question. "Am I the only one who will purposefully not listen to a particular song so it doesn’t show up on my Wrapped, lol," said Platypus. "That's the favorite part of December," commented another.

The question of when Spotify stops tracking comes up every year. Back in 2022, a post to X from Pop Crave revealed that no clear deadline was announced by the popular music app, which is still the case. We love a mystery! This was addressing a rumor that tracking stopped on Halloween. Pop Crave shared a screenshot from Spotify in which they replied, "The only thing that we end on Halloween is eating candy corn."

Spotify Wrapped is easy to view on the homepage when you open up your Spotify app. You'll see a display saying that your 2025 Wrapped is ready. Although it is available for free and paying users, those who pay the monthly fee get more personalized info, including the number of new artists they began listening to that year and their top new artist.

In most cases, fans treat Spotify Wrapped like its own season. It has become a small gift to people before the new year, and they share that gift with all of social media. Some people also acknowledge that, in the grand scheme, the lists aren't a big deal; however, it's a great way for a lot of people to reflect on how things have (or haven't) changed for them.

Enjoy Spotify Wrapped 2025, folks!
