It’s here! It’s here! The 2025 version Spotify Wrapped has arrived.
This marks the 11th year that Spotify has shared personalized lists with users so they can get detailed, factual analysis about their music consumption.
This year, the platform leaned into community building and real-world events, citing its efforts to create spaces for its users to get together with others to listen to music as well as big events highlighting the music of artists such as Lady Gaga.
The biggest news is that Bad Bunny, who is the 2026 halftime performer for the NFL’s big night in February, is going from strength to strength, topping the list of most-streamed performers in the world.
And this year’s most streamed song worldwide? Congratulations to Bruno Mars and Lady Gaga, who took that spot with their single “Die With A Smile.”
