For music lovers, December really is the most wonderful time of the year — it's when we get to see our end-of-year stats from our favorite music streaming services. Whether you listen to music only a few hours a week or all day and night, you're still logging significant hours on your favorite streaming music service.
As great as these services are at surfacing new artists for us to discover, it's also fun to revisit our old favorites at the end of each year. This year, the top end-of-year roundups include some exciting new elements you won't want to miss, like Spotify's "listening age" and "listening archive" features. Here's how to find those year-in-review playlists on Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube Music.
How to find your Spotify Wrapped 2025 playlist
Spotify's Wrapped 2025 experience is now available in the app and on the Spotify Wrapped webpage. This year, the Wrapped 2025 experience includes a variety of statistics based on your listening history, with plenty of ways to share and revisit your year in music.
There's also an outside-of-the-box feature: your "listening age," which computes your age based on your music taste. It compares your Wrapped 2025 data to others in your age group based on the release dates of the songs you enjoyed the most. New for 2025 is also a "Spotify Club" feature that connects users with others who have similar music tastes. Here's how to access your Wrapped 2025 experience:
1. Open the Spotify app.
2. From the tags at the top of the page, swipe right to left and tap Wrapped.
3. Tap the Let's go button.
4. From the main Wrapped landing page, you'll also have options for Your Stories, Your Feed, and more.
There are also Wrapped 2025 cards for audiobooks and podcasts. Some users will get video messages from authors of their favorite audiobook, including Dan Brown, James Patterson, Abby Jimenez, and more.
The big AI-powered feature for 2025 is "Listening Archive." It uses AI to comb through Spotify users' listening history to find their most memorable or significant streaming days in 2025. You might see days like "the biggest listening day" or the "most nostalgic day." All of these features and more are available in the Spotify app for Premium subscribers.
How to find your YouTube Music 2025 Recap playlist
1. Open the YouTube Music app.
2. Tap the 2025 Recap banner that appears on the Home tab. It may also appear on your Speed dial on the YTM home tab.
3. Tap the Get your Recap button for your stats, or scroll down to view your 2025 Recap playlist.
If, for some reason, the banner for your YouTube Music Recap doesn't appear on your Home tab, there's another way you can access your 2025 Recap, as well as past seasonal Recaps.
1. Open the YouTube Music app.
2. Tap your profile picture in the top right corner.
3. Tap Your Recap.
From here, you'll likely be able to see your 2025 recap. If you see "Nothing to hear here," then the 2025 Recap is not yet available for your account.
Even if you don't have a 2025 Recap for your own profile, this section will also show various YouTube Music Playlists comprised of top songs from the past year. You can scroll from left to right to view the different playlists, with the hopes of discovering something that you have not listened to yet.
How to find your Apple Music Replay 2025 playlist
Apple changed things up with Replay this year. You can now view your Replay 2025 stats at any time on a month-to-month basis on the Apple Music Replay website. And, the full year-in-review experience is now available for 2025. Here's how you can find it in the Apple Music app using the steps below.
1. Open the Apple Music app.
2. Tap on the Home tab.
3. At the top of the page, tap Replay — Your music story is here.
4. Tap the Play your highlight reel button.

If you haven't seen these year-end playlists in your favorite music app, be patient. They are slowly rolling out in Spotify and YouTube Music, as well as in Apple Music, but not everyone has them yet. Try going into the Google Play app and seeing if there are any updates for your apps. We expect more streaming music services to be updating their apps and rolling out these playlists through the end of the year.
In the event that you don't already subscribe to one of these popular streaming music services, what are you waiting for? Many offer free trial periods of one to three months, and some offer additional discounts and family plans too!
