In Short
  • Spotify hasn’t announced an exact release date for Spotify Wrapped 2025 yet.
  • However, based on past rollouts, Spotify Wrapped will most likely arrive during the first week of December.
  • The platform has already asked artists to submit a clip for their top fans by November 14th.

That time of the year is almost here, when Spotify comes out with its annual rewind, showcasing your year with top tracks, most listened to hits, and favorite artists. But as there is no fixed release date, it leaves many questioning: When does Spotify Wrapped come out? That’s what we will answer and anticipate the release of Spotify Wrapped 2025, and answer when Spotify stops tracking for 2025.

When is Spotify Wrapped 2025?

Quick answer: Spotify Wrapped 2025 will be a surprise release, but it will be sometime around the first week of December.

If you have been following Wrapped for the past few years, you know that the platform likes to keep the exact release date under “wraps”, dropping it as a surprise release. Spotify Wrapped 2024 came out of nowhere on December 4th, and that has been the trend with this yearly musical delight.

However, based on past release dates, we are expecting it to hit sometime around November 29 to the first week of December. To be more specific, we can expect the Spotify Wrapped to come out on December 3rd (Wednesday) or 4th (Thursday).

The platform has already updated its Spotify for artists page, asking creators to record a clip for their top fans and submit it by November 14th. The official Spotify Wrapped 2025 page has also gone live. So, preparations have already started, and now we are waiting till the Wrapped arrives.

When Does Spotify Stop Tracking?

Now, you must be wondering how much time you have left till you can listen to your favorite hits, so it shows up in this year’s Spotify Wrapped. Well, since Spotify has never confirmed the exact date when it stops tracking your data, many people assume that the deadline is on October 31st. But that’s not the case at all.

Spotify itself debunked this myth in an X post in 2023. The exact date is still a mystery, but the platform’s senior director of product for personalization, Molly Holder, told Mashable that Spotify starts tracking user data in January and continues to collect it till a couple of weeks before Wrapped is supposed to come out. So you still have plenty of time left.

What Can We Expect from Spotify Wrapped 2025?

The thing that makes Spotify Wrapped such a hit is that it isn’t the same every year. Last year, it was Google’s AI hosts describing your listening journey. In 2023, there was “Sound Town”, matching users’ musical taste with a city, and in 2022, there were “Personality Profiles,” where people are assigned a personality type based on their listening journey.

Spotify hasn’t spilled the beans on what will be this year’s X factor. But one thing is confirmed that artists’ videos thanking their top fans are returning from last year. We suspect there would be something related to Spotify’s new smarter AI DJ, but for more concrete details, we will have to wait for the Spotify Wrapped 2025 to come out.
