What’s your Spotify ‘listening age’ for 2025? Tell us your Wrapped results.
How close was Spotify to guessing your actual age?
It’s that time of year again: Spotify Wrapped 2025 has officially dropped and music lovers are digging into the listening moments that defined their year.
Launched in 2015, Wrapped highlights nearly a full year of your activity across music, podcasts, and audiobooks. Spotify tracks habits from Jan. 1 to about mid-November, so you’re free to stream without judgement all December. Many fan-favorites have returned this year, like top songs, top genres, and personalized playlists, but 2025 adds some new features as well: a few include top audiobook genre, a fan leaderboard, and the standout feature everyone’s talking about: your “listening age.”
Your listening age is based on the release dates of the songs you played most, plus the company’s assumption that ages 16 to 21 are your formative music years. So someone who listens to a lot of 1990s hits might get a listening age around 46. According to Spotify, anyone who heavy Frank Sinatra listeners may have received a listening age of 77.
