Spotify Wrapped 2025 now live: What listening age means and how to view your year in music

spotify

Spotify Wrapped 2025 is finally here, and like every year, it has taken over social media with people sharing their top artists, favourite songs, and quirky listening stats. But this year’s Wrapped is a little different — Spotify has added new features, playful insights, and deeper trends that show how India, and the world, listened through 2025. Here’s a quick, friendly explainer to help you understand everything Wrapped 2025 offers.

What exactly is Spotify Wrapped?

Wrapped is Spotify’s big end-of-year recap that highlights your most-played music, podcasts, genres, and moods. Think of it as a colourful “music diary” of the year gone by. If you’re a Spotify user, the feature appears right inside the app as soon as it rolls out.

What’s new this year?

One of the standout additions is the “Listening Age” feature. It compares the era of the music you listen to with the typical habits of listeners from different generations. So if you spent the year listening to 90s pop or early-2000s Bollywood, your “listening age” might be lower or higher than your real one — and people are already sharing hilarious results online.

Another new feature is the Wrapped Clubs, where Spotify groups listeners into personality-based categories depending on their habits. These clubs are meant to make Wrapped more interactive and fun to share among friends.

Spotify has also added deeper podcast and audiobook stats, so users who spend more time listening to spoken-word content can see a clear breakdown of which genres or shows they gravitated toward in 2025.

How India listened in 2025

The Hindustan Times report highlights that familiar names continue to dominate the Indian charts. Arijit Singh remains one of the top artists in the country, alongside Shreya Ghoshal, Pritam, and A.R. Rahman. Bollywood remains the top driver of streams, with romantic and pop-leaning tracks taking over most playlists.

On the podcast front, India’s listening habits have matured. True crime, horror, and self-help remained extremely popular, reflecting how listeners are now using Spotify for more than just music.

How to check your own Wrapped

It’s simple — just open the Spotify app on your phone. Wrapped 2025 will show up on the home screen, but you can also search for “Wrapped” if you don’t see it immediately. Spotify requires minimal listening activity across the year for your recap to generate, so most users should be able to access it instantly.

Why Wrapped matters

Beyond the fun and memes, Wrapped is a personal snapshot of your year. It shows what moved you, what comforted you, and what stayed with you. And with new features like Listening Age and Clubs, Wrapped 2025 feels more personal — and more playful — than ever.
