When is Spotify Wrapped 2025 expected to drop

Every December, millions of Spotify users experience the same adrenaline rush. Opening the app to discover which songs defined their year, which artist they replayed the most, and which genre they obsessed over. Spotify Wrapped has evolved from a simple data roundup into a cultural moment. It’s part digital diary, part personality quiz, part social flex.

And while Spotify hasn’t officially confirmed when Wrapped 2025 will land, its past behaviour offers a pretty reliable clue. Here’s when we expect Spotify Wrapped 2025 will come out.

When is Spotify Wrapped 2025 coming out?

In recent years, Wrapped has dropped in either the final days of November or the very beginning of December. The release dates have stayed remarkably consistent. December 4 in 2024, November 29 in 2023, November 30 in 2022, and December 1 in both 2021 and 2020.

That pattern points towards a likely launch window between November 29 and December 5, 2025, placing it right in time for holiday nostalgia and social share season.

Tracking tweaks and how to get ready for Spotify Wrapped

For years, Spotify stopped counting listening activity for Wrapped on October 31, meaning your late-year playlists didn’t make the cut. But in 2024, Spotify quietly extended the data window into November, giving users a little more control to influence their rankings; boosting a favourite artist, burying a guilty pleasure, or diversifying their top five before Wrapped goes live.

Whether that extended tracking continues in 2025 hasn’t been confirmed, but it signals a more dynamic and user-driven experience.

The only real prep you need is to keep your Spotify app updated. Wrapped works for both free and Premium listeners, and when it drops, it usually appears as a banner or prompt on your home screen.

The interactive presentation walks you through your top artists, genres, moods and listening milestones, with sharable slides built for Instagram and X. You can also head to Spotify.com/Wrapped, where a QR code typically directs you straight to your personalised experience.
