Spotify Wrapped 2025 turns listening into a competition
"The usual suspects are here, like your most listened to song, your total time listened, and your favorite artist. You also get your 2025 Wrapped playlist, which now shows how many times you listened to each of your top 100 tracks this year. But, as usual, Spotify is also adding a ton of new stuff to its annual tradition, including Wrapped Party, which pits you against your friends to see who is the bigger (or weirder) music fan."
"Wrapped Party is an interactive feature that you "play" with friends. Granted, there isn't much to actually do, since it's mostly about what you've already listened to. You can't go back in time and listen to a more obscure song than your friends, or retroactively listen to more horror audiobooks. Still, turning listening to music into a competitive sport is definitely a new twist on the annual Wrapped tradition."
Year-end features return, including most listened song, total time listened, and favorite artist. The 2025 Wrapped playlist reports how many times each of the top 100 tracks was played. Wrapped Party introduces a social, competitive element that compares listening habits among friends. The feature is interactive but largely reflects past listening rather than allowing changes. Users cannot retroactively alter listening history to win. Listening comparisons yield individual awards such as 'The Onion Chopper' for the saddest songs. Groups receive collective judgments based on taste alignment, with categories that reflect how closely group members' listening habits match.
