Spotify Wrapped 2025 went live on December 3, 2025 in the mobile app
Spotify users can now open the Wrapped 2025 recap, which the company released on December 3, 2025. The feature gathers listening data from January 1 to mid-November and covers songs, podcasts and audiobooks streamed by users around the world, Brazil included.
Free and Premium users get the same interactive experience, with visual cards made for sharing on social media. The recap is available only through the mobile app, and the direct link is spotify.com/wrapped.
Spotify recommends three simple checks for anyone who wants to find the recap in the app. These steps help the app send alerts and generate the personal report automatically.
- Update the app on iOS or Android to receive immediate notifications.
- Log in to the account so the personal reports are generated automatically.
- Look for the banners on the home screen when opening Spotify.
How Spotify counts each stream toward the recap
The system adds up minutes of audio played during connected sessions on each account. A play counts only when it lasts at least 30 seconds, and plays made in private mode are left out.
That rule keeps the final statistics accurate. Phones and desktop computers both feed the total, but the recap itself opens only on mobile devices.
Global artists who led the 2024 charts
Taylor Swift led worldwide streams in 2024, with more than 26 billion streams across albums such as “The Tortured Poets Department”. The Weeknd and Bad Bunny followed on the list, showing a mix of genres.
Drake and Billie Eilish completed the top five, helped by hits such as “Beautiful Things” by Benson Boone, which added up to millions of plays.

Brazilian favorites in 2024
In Brazil, Henrique & Juliano headed the local charts with live shows and sertanejo tracks. MC Ryan SP and Ana Castela stood out in regional playlists.
“The Box Medley Funk 2” recorded high urban streaming volume. Albums such as “To Be (Ao Vivo Em Brasília)” also marked the year for Brazilian listeners.
Songs that drew the most streams in 2024
“Espresso” by Sabrina Carpenter reached the global top, with more than 1.5 billion streams. “BIRDS OF A FEATHER” by Billie Eilish and “Gata Only” by FloyyMenor and Cris Mj stayed among the favorites.
In Brazil, “Barulho Do Foguete – Ao Vivo” by Zé Neto & Cristiano led the chart, with strong engagement at parties and on radio. “MTG Quem Não Quer Sou Eu” by DJ Topo and collaborators highlighted funk.
Those tracks shaped trends, and “Short n’ Sweet” by Sabrina Carpenter recorded peaks in the charts. Spotify used aggregated data to build theme playlists based on these hits, available to all profiles.
Albums that shaped the year’s playlists
In 2024, “Hit Me Hard and Soft” by Billie Eilish was one of the most accessed albums worldwide, mixing pop and electronic music in more than 2 billion total streams. “Mañana Será Bonito” by Karol G brought Latin rhythms to the top, while “Eternal Sunshine” by Ariana Grande drew listeners with introspective ballads.
In Brazil, “O Céu Explica Tudo (Ao Vivo)” by Henrique & Juliano exceeded expectations in recorded shows. “Escolhas, Vol. 2 (Ao Vivo)” by Zé Neto & Cristiano and “Escândalo Íntimo” by Luísa Sonza added variety, with the last one blending pop and R&B elements.

These releases boosted individual artists and shaped Spotify’s algorithmic recommendations, which favor tracks with high listening retention. Annual rankings combine global and local metrics to anticipate trends for 2025.
Why the recap does not open in desktop browsers
Some users try to open the recap on computers, but Spotify limits the experience to mobile devices to improve interactivity. The workaround is to scan the QR codes on the official website, which redirect to the app.
The restriction aims at greater touch engagement, with taps on slides and playlists. The app also received updates that make direct downloads easier.
Artist clip deadline moved to November 21, 2025
Spotify invited artists to send personalized clips for fan reports until November 14, 2025. The company later extended that deadline to November 21, 2025, a change announced on November 18, 2025.
Artist profiles updated with photos and show dates gained visibility during that period. Notifications were set to alert users about availability, prioritizing active accounts, and automatically generated playlists let listeners relive the year in audio.
