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.
