Who was the top artist on Spotify in 2025?
Taylor Swift has been dethroned and for the fourth time Reggaeton/ Latin-pop star Bad Bunny has claimed the top spot. He was the top artist for three years in a row from 2020 to 2022!
Bad Bunny’s latest release, DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOTos, is also this year’s Global Top Album, underscoring the worldwide embrace this year of Puerto Rico’s vibrant culture and music.
Taylor Swift was in second place for 2025 (but first in the U.S.), followed by The Weeknd (third), Drake (fourth), and Billie Eilish (fifth). Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars’ smash hit “Die With A Smile” was the top song around the world this year!
When did Spotify Wrapped come out last year?
In 2024, the round-up was released on a Wednesday - following the trend of previous years. It has also moved back to a December release, after creeping forward into November in the early part of this decade.
The release dates for the last eight Spotify Wrapped round-ups look like this:
- 2017 - December 6
- 2018 - December 6
- 2019 - December 5
- 2020 - December 2
- 2021 - December 1
- 2022 - November 30
- 2023 - November 29
- 2024 - December 4
When is Spotify Wrapped 2025 out in the UK?
Looking back through the recent years of Spotify Wrapped, you may have noticed a trend that saw it move steadily earlier each year - until 2024 that is. The date had crept forward from early December to late November over the course of the first half of the 2020s.
However, last year’s release bucked that trend and moved it back to a December launch date. It has traditionally come out on a Wednesday, especially for the 2020 dates.
Spotify Wrapped has tended to be released on the last week of November/ first week of December. Following the push back to December 4 in 2024, it is likely that the 2025 edition will also come out in the final month of the year.
If we open up our calendars, that would mean December 3 would be the prime date for Spotify Wrapped’s release this year. Meaning you still have plenty of time to influence what your round-up will look like.
When does Spotify Wrapped’s tracking period start
The counting period for 2025 started all the way back on January 1. Once the calendar flipped over from 2024 to this year, the tracking started.
It means Spotify has been keeping an eye on your listening habits for eight full months already. So, there is likely to be a few surprises awaiting you when Wrapped is rolled out this year.
Which songs did you binge in the winter months will appear in your most played? The answers await us all before the end of the year.
