Spotify Wrapped And Apple Music Replay: As the year comes to an end, music lovers around the world are celebrating their listening habits through Spotify Wrapped and Apple Music Replay. Both platforms have released their yearly reports, highlighting the most-streamed artists, songs, albums, and genres of 2025.
Spotify released its Wrapped feature on Wednesday, started at 13:00 GMT. This yearly experience gives users a personalised summary of all the music and podcasts they enjoyed throughout the year.
Anyone with a Spotify account, including free users, can check their Wrapped. Spotify suggests that users update the app to the latest version for a smoother experience. Inside the app, fans will find slides showing their top tracks, favourite genres, most-played artists, and even the podcasts they listened to the most.

Bad Bunny Leads Global Charts
Puerto Rican superstar Bad Bunny is the world’s most-streamed artist on Spotify in 2025, earning more than 19.8 billion streams this year. His hit album Debí Tirar Más Fotos, which celebrates Puerto Rican musical culture, was also named the world’s biggest album of 2025.
With this success, Bad Bunny is set to perform at the Super Bowl halftime show next year.
UK Fans Choose Alex Warren’s ‘Ordinary’
In the United Kingdom, listeners chose Alex Warren’s track “Ordinary” as the top song of the year. The popular single stayed at number one for 13 weeks and was among the few newly released songs to make it into Spotify’s Top 10 tracks in the UK.
Several older hits remained popular throughout the year, including songs from Lola Young, Billie Eilish, and Gigi Perez, which continued to hold strong positions on the charts.
Chappell Roan’s song Pink Pony Club, first released in 2020, also returned to the spotlight as the fourth most-streamed song of 2025.
Top UK Album: Sabrina Carpenter’s ‘Short’n’Sweet’
American singer Sabrina Carpenter dominated UK album streams. Her 2024 album Short’n’Sweet, powered by viral hits like Taste, Espresso, and Please Please Please, became the most-streamed album in the UK this year. However, her latest album Man’s Best Friend did not enter the Top 10 list.
Special Wrapped Experiences for Creators
Spotify is not limiting Wrapped to listeners. The platform has also created personalised versions for artists, songwriters, podcasters, authors, and advertisers. Through special microsites, creators can see detailed insights about how fans around the world enjoyed their content.
Spotify is also bringing Wrapped into real-world spaces with around 50 pop-up experiences in major cities. These installations will highlight popular artists like Oasis in Manchester, JENNIE in Seoul, Bad Bunny in Mexico City, and Chappell Roan in New York City.
Apple Music Replay
Apple Music offers a similar year-end feature called Replay. It provides users with a full summary of their listening activity, including total minutes played and their most-streamed songs, albums, and artists.
Apple Music starts collecting listening data in February and creates a detailed annual report by December. Replay began as a weekly update in 2019 and evolved in 2022 to become a yearly listening review similar to Spotify Wrapped.
iPhone users can access Apple Music Replay directly through the Music app under the Home tab. Those without iPhones can still view their Replay by visiting replay.music.apple.com and logging in with their Apple ID.
