As we creep closer to the end of the year, it can only mean one thing – Spotify Wrapped 2025 is right around the corner. Now that other yearly recaps are cropping up from Apple Music, YouTube Music, and even platforms like Twitch, Spotify Wrapped is so close we can taste it.

The past few days have seen a flurry of speculation about Spotify Wrapped's launch date and the new upgrades it may come with, but nothing is set in stone just yet. However, Spotify has been dropping teasers saying that Wrapped is "coming soon", so your music recap is definitely imminent.

Spotify has its work cut out given the backlash it received to last year's recap, so we're hoping and praying that it's learned its lessons this year. We've got our eyes peeled for any updates in this liveblog – here's everything we know so far about Wrapped 2025 and how its rival recaps are shaping up...

The latest news

• Spotify has started releasing teasers for Wrapped 2025 on social media
• They say that the recap is "on the way soon" and give tips for preparing
• Other yearly summaries like YouTube Recap and Apple Music Replay are live

While we wait for more updates on Spotify Wrapped 2025, let's hand over to our audio editor Becky Scarrott to talk about Apple Music Replay 2025!

How can we tell when Spotify Wrapped is on the way?

It’s fairly easy to tell how close Spotify Wrapped is when other music streaming services start the roll out for their own year in music reviews. YouTube Music beat both Spotify and Apple Music to the punch, rolling out YouTube Music Recap 2025 last week.

YouTube Music Recap 2025 adopts a similar style to its previous years, highlighting the artists, albums, and tracks you listened to most. As well as showing the total for minutes listened overall, this year there’s a new option to ask questions about your year in music which is powered by AI.

When might it land?

Spotify's teasers have hinted that Wrapped 2025 is imminent, but they've stopped tantalizingly short of giving us an exact date.

So when could it land? Looking back at previous years (below), today is a strong candidate – it's landed on a Wednesday for the last four years, with the 2024 edition arriving on December 4.

That said, going back to 2019 and 2018 it did also arrive on a Thursday. So based on those dates, our tea leaves are pointing to either today or tomorrow...

How has Spotify been teasing Wrapped 2025?

Spotify gave our first glimpse of Wrapped 2025 a few days ago via its various social media channels, teasing this year’s roundup through a short-form video with seven graphics to reflect this year’s most-streamed artists including Lady Gaga, Pinkpantheress, Justin Bieber, and more.

That's usually a sign that it's imminent – last year, we saw those teasers appears a just a few days before Wrapped 2024 launched.
