Spotify has released its annual Wrapped feature, providing listeners with a personalized summary of their listening habits. This popular feature has inspired various companies to create similar year-in-review experiences that recap users’ habits and preferences. Notable platforms mimicking the Spotify Wrapped concept include Amazon Music, Apple Music, Deezer, SoundCloud, and YouTube Music, each offering unique insights into users’ listening patterns.
Amazon Music’s “2025 Delivered” summarizes users’ listening stats and includes interactive badges for achievements, while Apple Music’s “Replay” provides detailed statistics and highlights new artists. Deezer’s “My Deezer Year” features a romantic comedy theme and allows users to create quizzes to share with friends. SoundCloud offers a recap showcasing users’ top artists and tracks, along with a “Music Doppelgänger” feature to compare music tastes with others.
YouTube Music has introduced an interactive Recap feature that highlights users’ top listening habits and includes an AI-powered “Ask Music” feature. Other platforms like Tidal, Duolingo, and even Netflix (through a third-party tool) have also adopted a year-in-review approach, showcasing various insights related to user engagement. As December progresses, more companies may launch their own annual recaps, following the trend set by Spotify.
