Spotify Wrapped 2025: The Sounds That Ruled Our Year
So, Spotify Wrapped 2025 has officially landed, and once again the whole world is pausing for a moment of musical reflection. With more than 700 million listeners turning to Spotify throughout the year, this annual recap has basically become a global holiday—one where everyone compares playlists, shares their top artists, and occasionally defends some very questionable late-night music choices.
This year’s Wrapped has been shaped by big returns, unexpected trends, and a few record-breaking moments. And right at the center of it all is Bad Bunny, who has been crowned Spotify’s Global Top Artist yet again. It’s his fourth time earning the title—after dominating 2020, 2021, and 2022—and 2025 was no different. His album DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS wasn’t just streamed heavily; it became the world’s top album and helped push him past a staggering 19.8 billion streams. To mark the moment, Spotify launched a global campaign featuring a short film called Leap Year , along with special fan surprises across the platform.
But the top-artist race wasn’t a one-man show. Taylor Swift secured second place globally and claimed the number-one spot in the United States. The Weeknd, Drake, and Billie Eilish rounded out the top five, each proving—yet again—that their fanbases simply don’t rest.

On the songs front, a massive collaboration took over the world. Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars’ “Die With A Smile” became the global number-one track, crossing 1.7 billion streams. Billie Eilish’s “BIRDS OF A FEATHER” climbed to number two, showing off its staying power, and Bruno Mars appeared again with ROSÉ on “APT,” which secured the third position. Meanwhile, film soundtracks made a big splash this year as the KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack became the second-most-streamed album globally.
Podcasts also maintained their momentum. The Joe Rogan Experience continued its long-running dominance as the top global podcast for the sixth consecutive year. Shows like The Diary of a CEO , The Mel Robbins Podcast , and Call Her Daddy followed closely, especially as listeners turned to podcasts to process everything—from TikTok blackouts to celebrity drama—in real time.
Audiobooks had their own breakout moment, driven by the rise of romantasy. Authors like Rebecca Yarros and Sarah J. Maas dominated listener charts, proving that backlist titles are thriving as fans keep returning to their favorite worlds.
On top of all that, Wrapped 2025 introduced new features—including “Listening Age,” personalized clubs, monthly artist races, and even a new in-app “Wrapped Party” designed for group fun. All of it was created to make the experience even more interactive and shareable.
So whether your year sounded like Bad Bunny, Taylor Swift, indie pop, deep-cut metal, or pure nostalgia, Spotify Wrapped 2025 has captured it all—and it’s ready for you to relive every moment.
