Spotify Wrapped 2025 has broken all previous records, reaching 200 million users within 24 hours of its launch on December 3.
This is a 19% jump from last year and the fastest adoption ever for the yearly music recap. In 2024, Spotify took 62 hours to reach the same number.
Wrapped also recorded 500 million shares—across screenshots, downloads, and in-app tools—within the first day.
The rapid growth shows that Spotify has successfully regained user trust after last year’s backlash over its AI-heavy approach.
A Strong Comeback After Last Year’s AI Fallout

Spotify faced sharp criticism in 2024 when it introduced AI-generated podcasts and reduced many user-loved statistics. Many fans said the edition lacked “soul” and did not feel personal.
This year, Spotify shifted its strategy to focus on human creativity, deeper insights, and shared experiences.
Spotify’s Senior Director of Global Marketing, Matt Luhks, said the company used all the feedback from 2024 to rebuild Wrapped in a better way.
