Spotify Wrapped 2025 Sees Upgrade Through In-App Social Game, "Wrapped Party"

Spotify's years are always marked by their signature 12-month recaps, the Spotify Wrapped sessions. This year, however, they are expanding their standard products with the introduction of Wrapped Party, a new mobile-only feature that transforms listening data into a live, competitive social game. The feature, which goes much beyond the usual social media sharing, allows users to compete and compare their 2025 listening habits with friends in real time.

Users can create or join a Wrapped Party through the Wrapped hub in the Spotify app, supporting groups of anywhere from two to ten people. To be eligible, a user must be at least 13 years old and have streamed at least 30 valid tracks across five or more artists between January 1 and the end of the data collection period, undisclosed, yet known to be somewhere in mid-November.

Inside the experience, participants compete for several unique awards that celebrate the group’s one-of-a-kind listening habits. Categories include finding the friend who streamed the Most Minutes, who had the Rarest Listen, who was the Most Obsessed with their top artist, and whom users are most or least musically compatible with. The host controls the flow, inviting friends via a unique link or code. While parties are not saved once exited, participants should know their listening data and profile image will be visible and shareable by others in the group.

Regardless of their new Wrapped Party feature, Spotify Wrapped delivers the usual excitement that is known for year after year, gathering auditory data throughout 2025 and presenting it to its users in a friendly and playful way. Having changed the visual identity from last year, at its core Spotify Wrapped shows you how much time you spent listening to various pieces inside their app, which songs you listened to the most, which artists you streamed the most, which podcasts you consumed, which genres and style of listening you portray, and sorts everything in descending order. It also shows you stats regarding your #1 artist, telling you in which percentage you are of their fanbase according to the numbers.
