It’s the moment music fans wait for all year: the launch of Spotify Wrapped, the annual recap that reveals the soundtrack of the past twelve months. The feature gives listeners a detailed look at their most-played songs, artists, and genres, but two questions always come up: when will it drop, and when does it stop counting?
Spotify Wrapped 2025: Expected Release Date
Spotify has not yet announced a specific release date for Wrapped 2025, as it traditionally maintains an element of surprise. However, based on previous years, the feature is likely to roll out during the first week of December.
In 2024, Spotify Wrapped appeared on December 4, and industry experts suggest a similar timeline for this year. The most likely dates for the 2025 launch appear to be between November 29 and December 4.
The countdown has already begun. Spotify has started preparations, with its “Spotify for Artists” platform inviting musicians to submit short thank-you clips for their top listeners by November 14. The official Wrapped 2025 page is also active, signaling that the launch is near.
When Does Spotify Stop Tracking Your Listening?
Many listeners assume that Spotify stops tracking data for Wrapped on October 31, but the company has denied this claim.
While the exact cutoff date is not public, Spotify’s personalization head, Molly Holder, confirmed that data collection begins in January and continues until just a few weeks before the Wrapped campaign goes live. This means you still have a little time left to influence what appears in your 2025 summary.
