One year after a rare record scratch, Spotify<\/a> brought back an old favorite and included new features\u00a0people actually like<\/a>\u00a0with the 2025 edition of Wrapped, which arrived yesterday.<\/p>\n

After many users complained about 2024\u2019s offering on social media, Spotify executives said they used that disappointment to fuel this year\u2019s update to its highly anticipated year in review data dump:<\/p>\n

Top genres returned after an inexplicable absence last year.New features include top albums and audiobooks, playcounts for your top songs, a game where you guess your top song, and a \u201cWrapped Party\u201d on the app that\u2019s a \u201clive competition you can play with friends.\u201dThen there\u2019s the potentially crushing reveal of your \u201clistening age\u201d based on your data. Our Executive Editor Neal Freyman\u2019s was 92, which was only slightly older than we guessed.<\/p>\n

Out with AI (but not entirely):\u00a0Spotify received blowback in 2024 for going all-in on AI at the last minute. This year, the only celebration of AI is Listening Archive, which pinpoints trends from specific days (i.e., reminding you of the sad song you played 100 times when you were dumped on Feb. 14).<\/p>\n

Like and subscribe:\u00a0Wrapped is more than just something to share on your socials. During a Q4 earnings call, Co-president Alex Norstrom said Wrapped has \u201cbecome a significant driver of our business.\u201d It engaged 245 million users last year.\u2014DL<\/p>\n
