How to Check if Your YouTube Music 2025 Recap Is Available
With the year wrapping up, major tech platforms are releasing their annual summaries—and YouTube Music is joining in once again. Although the company hasn’t formally announced its Recap for 2025, many users are already seeing it pop up inside the app.
To check whether yours is available, open YouTube Music, tap the profile icon at the top right, and select Your Recap. If 2025 Recap appears, tap Get your Recap to launch a slideshow highlighting your most-played songs, artists, playlists, albums, podcasts, genres, and more.
Each slide includes shareable visuals you can download or post directly to social platforms. You’ll also find a curated playlist featuring your top tracks of the year, which you can save to your library with one tap.
This year introduces a couple of new elements. Musical Passport reveals the countries your most-streamed artists are from, while Calendar View maps out your listening habits across the year.
Some users have also noticed preset Gemini AI prompt suggestions related to their activity—questions like “How did my listening evolve this year?” or “Explain my music taste like a weather forecast,” according to reports from 9to5Google.
To receive a Recap, Google notes that listeners must stream at least four hours of music each season and a total of ten hours between Jan. 1 and Nov. 10, 2025. (Quarterly and seasonal recaps use the four-hour threshold.)
Podcast stats require at least two hours of listening time, but are only unlocked if the music requirements are met.
Spotify may have made year-end recaps mainstream, though last year’s AI-focused Wrapped wasn’t universally well-received. It’s expected to return next week—so listeners will soon find out if Spotify delivers a stronger experience this time around.
In the meantime, Spotify has also begun rolling out weekly listening statistics, taking inspiration from Apple’s approach.
