Spotify users urged to take this simple step to prepare for Wrapped
In a post on social media, Spotify’s official account on social media wrote: “Are you #SpotifyWrapped ready? Make sure to update your app today. Wrapped is on the way soon!”
It also urged users to try and guess who their top artist will be in 2025. Have you got any predictions?
When has Spotify Wrapped released previously?
It might be hard to believe but we are nearing a decade of Spotify Wrapped releases. The very first one came out in 2016, following an earlier attempt in 2015 called ‘Year in Music’.
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 could Spotify Wrapped release in 2025?
Look 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.
