Spotify Wrapped was released on Wednesday, providing users of the music streaming app with personalized year-end statistics and data, including their most-played artists, songs and albums of 2025.
Now in its 10th year, Wrapped has become a holiday tradition of sorts, with users sharing what they were listening to over the past year on social media.
Among the dozen or so new features for this year’s Wrapped edition is “your listening age,” an approximation based on the music you listened to this year.
According to Spotify, it stems from the idea of a “reminiscence bump,” which is “the tendency to feel most connected to the music from your younger years.”
OK, but how does Spotify calculate your listening age, exactly?
Here’s how the company explains it:
First, we look at the release dates of all of the songs you played this year.
Next, we identify the five-year span of music that you engaged with more than other listeners your age.
We’re hypothesizing that this five-year span matches your “reminiscence bump,” assuming you were between 16 and 21 years old when those tracks were released.
For example, if you listen to way more music from the late 1970s than others your age, we playfully hypothesize that your “listening” age is 63 today, the age of someone who would have been in their formative years in the late 1970s.
Since I apparently listen to way more music from the late ‘60s than others my age, 48, my “listening age,” according to Spotify, is 74.
“You’re an old soul,” Spotify says.
The company also revealed the most-streamed artist, song, album, podcast and audiobook of 2025.
Artist: Bad Bunny (19.8 billion streams)
Song: “Die With a Smile,” Lady Gaga & Bruno Mars (1.7 billion streams)
Album: Bad Bunny’s DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS
Podcast: “The Joe Rogan Experience”
Audiobook: Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarro
