Spotify Wrapped 2025: A Three-Year Journey

It’s that time again. The one that has us all asking, 'Is Spotify Wrapped out yet?' As December settles in, I find myself tapping Spotify's app far more often than usual, hoping that this will be the day. And then… there it is. Wrapped 2025. Time for everything else to be placed on hold.

I don’t know about you, but this thing has me in a grip.

but does anyone else feel like their top artist can’t possibly be right? Or notice that Spotify quietly removed that quirky 'percentage listener' metric? I miss that. It added a bit of bragging rights or humble pie, depending on the year.

But here we are. Another year, another look into the rhythms that shaped my days.

Top Artists of 2025

1. Diana Ross The headline surprise. I apparently spent 2,275 minutes in her company, placing me in the top 3,135 listeners worldwide. In 2023 and 2024, my top artists leaned heavily toward modern producers and groove-led acts. This year, Ms. Ross steps in with the confidence of a woman who taught the world how to glide across a dancefloor.

2. Groove Theory hovered in my orbit across all three years.

3. Figub Brazlevic and this is from one song. One song.

4. KC & The Sunshine Band Disco always finds me. I thought 2024 was my peak disco year, but apparently not.

5. Booty Luv They’ve been near the top before, and they show no signs of leaving.

Across three years, one pattern never changes: I drift toward rhythm, groove and sunshine-heavy sounds, no matter the decade its from.

Curious where this year’s listening habits began, you can take a look back at my 2024 Spotify Wrapped, see how my tastes shifted if at all.

Top Songs: The Ones That Wrapped 2025

1. Tell Me — Groove Theory, played this 436 times. 'Tell me if you want me to.' Though in my case, they didn’t need to ask. It just kept hitting the sweet spot.

2. A Tribute to Summer — Figub Brazlevic Every year has a sound that stays with me. In 2023 it was reggae. In 2024 it was Kaytranada’s bright production. This year? Sun-drenched beats and mellow loops.

3. Boogie 2nite — Booty Luv This track took over a full day. On 7 January, I looped it for 559 minutes. Essentially my own private dance marathon. The energy must have been unreal that day.

4. Fanm’fo — J Perry Such a favourite.

My Spotify Wrapped Listening by the Numbers (2023 → 2024 → 2025)

This year I spent 54,000+ minutes with Spotify. Some 13,000 more than 2024.

• 186 genres

• 342 songs

• 333 artists

For someone who claims they 'listen to the same things,' these numbers say otherwise.

Genres That Defined My 2025 And Their History in My Wrapped

Soul A constant presence. It topped my list in 2023, stayed strong in 2024, and sits firmly at #1 again this year.

Hi-NRG A newcomer in 2025. High-tempo, nostalgic, full of movement.

Boogie This one traces back through all three years. It surged in 2024 during my writing sessions and returned again while crafting this chapter of Call Me Blair.

Zouk how to catch a rhythm and a tempo.

Reggae A thread running through every Wrapped I’ve had. Always there. Always grounding.

And then the biggest revelation this year: A lot of my listening came from the late ’70s. Three years of Wrapped now confirm what I suspected — I carry an old soul somewhere in my playlists.

Unexpected Finds

My 2025 Curveballs

Every Wrapped gifts me something new. In 2023 I stumbled into new grooves. In 2024 I fell into artists I hadn’t planned on discovering. This year I found Take My Hand by Matt Berry.

A beautiful discovery.

New 2025 Features

Spotify Wrapped Music Clubs

Spotify added Music Clubs this year, and my Wrapped tells me I belong to Cloud State Society. Even more curious: it says I could be a leader. The club represents 16% of global listeners. Far more than I expected.

But where are the most listeners? Are they in the Serotonin Club?

Listening Age

Turns out I am an old soul favouring music from the late 70s ages me at 65 years. But hey, age ain't nothing but a number.

Long-Term Mainstays

Across 2023, 2024, and 2025, these names stay rooted:

• Cloak Dagger

• Winston Surfshirt

• Buju Banton

Some artists just follow you year after year, becoming part of my background rhythm of your life.

Three Years of Wrapped

Looking back across 2023, 2024, and now 2025, a clear shape appears:

• I reach for music with warmth.

• I love bass-heavy grooves.

• I return to older eras even when I explore new ones.

• And every year, one song takes complete control of a day, a month, or the entire summer.

  
  

Wrapped always feels like a mirror. Sometimes it makes sense. Sometimes it catches me off guard. But every December, I’m grateful for this little snapshot of who I’ve been, the soundtracks that carried me.

So tell me, did your Wrapped surprise you this year? Or did it reflect something else entirely?
