The wait is over for fans across the continent. It’s time to look back at the sounds, stories, and voices that defined your year with 2025 Spotify Wrapped – our annual thank-you to fans, artists, creators, and authors across the continent and around the world.
From Afrobeats in Lagos and amapiano in Johannesburg to Gengetone in Nairobi and gospel in Accra, Wrapped turns your listening into a personal highlight reel of the year in audio. Spotify first introduced Wrapped in its current form in 2015, and every year since, we’ve evolved it based on what listeners tell us matters most to them.
For 2025, the experience is more captivating, layered, and revealing than ever before. We’re going bigger and bolder, combining the classic data stories you love with new interactive ways to connect with and share the sounds that made your year unmistakably yours.
How to access your 2025 Wrapped
To get a personalised Wrapped experience, you’ll need to have:
Streamed at least 30 songs for more than 30 seconds each, and
Listened to at least five different artists this year.
Streams from Private Mode or from songs or playlists you’ve excluded from your Taste Profile don’t count toward eligibility.
Eligible listeners across Sub-Saharan Africa can access their personalised 2025 Wrapped experience exclusively in the Spotify mobile app (iOS and Android). The experience is available for both Free and Premium users in nearly all markets where Spotify is live in SSA.
Just make sure your Spotify app is updated to the latest version, then:
Look for the Wrapped feed at the top of your Home screen, or Search for “2025 Wrapped” in the app.
Inside the 2025 Wrapped experience
This year, we’ve kept the Wrapped classics you know and added nearly a dozen new and updated ways to go deeper into the voices and stories that shaped your year – from the local artists you kept on repeat to the global hits you couldn’t escape.
We’re also bringing fans together with interactive features that turn your listening data into playful, shareable moments. Plus, new controls let you:
Adjust the speed of your experience, and
Jump back to specific moments without starting over from the beginning.
Your Wrapped is as individual as your fingerprint: the stories you see are based on your listening across the year.
As you explore your Wrapped, you’ll see share cards for your data stories. Just tap “Share” to send them directly to friends using Spotify Messages, or post them to your favourite social channels and show off your year in listening.
