Every December, Spotify Wrapped takes over social media as millions of listeners share the personal music trends that defined their year. This year, Spotify has doubled down on customization and interactivity, making this year’s Wrapped the most creative and most entertaining edition yet.

The biggest new feature is the “Fan Leaderboard,” a leaderboard showing where you stand amongst your top artist’s biggest fans. As always, it shows you how much time you spent listening to this artist and gives you a percentage. I spent 564 minutes listening to my top artist, putting me in the top 2% of their fans. If you're at the very top, it will put you in the fan leaderboard. Students have especially loved this update because it feels more personal.

Another major update in this year's Spotify Wrapped is the “Listening Age,” an estimated age range for your music taste. This new feature was especially enjoyed by the students. A student poll said that 60% of students noted the listening age was their favorite new feature. While it may not have been the biggest feature, I think it's safe to say it was the favorite.

As always, Wrapped still includes the classics: top artists, top songs, minutes listened, and the “music personality,” a playful label that tries to summarize your overall vibe as a listener.

With all these new features, Spotify Wrapped 2025 feels less like a data report and more like a digital scrapbook of the year. Whether your Wrapped exposed your hidden taste or confirmed your status as your friend group’s music expert, this year’s edition once again turned everyone’s listening habits into a celebration worth sharing.
