2025 Spotify Wrapped and Apple Music Replay were released in the first week of December. Both Spotify and Apple Music have features where it recaps listeners personalized summery of their top songs, artists, albums, and listening time.

Having to keep up with trends this year, Spotify decided to add new features to their Wrapped surprising their 713 million monthly active users. It seems that the new Listening Age feature, a feature which tells you how old you are based on your music taste, is the one of the most popular of the new features. People are also loving the new Wrapped Party where users can share their year in music, live with friends. Many students at Four Corner Upper School (FCUS) shared their results online and with friends.

“I really loved this year’s Spotify Wrapped for a lot of reasons. The listening age was pretty cool because it’s not something you really think about it, but it was interesting. I got 27 as my listening age and it said I liked to listen to nostalgic hits from 2010s which was pretty accurate. Overall, I liked the 2025 Spotify Wrapped and hopefully 2026 is even better,” sophomore Keilianis Robles said.

Some students like junior Natalie Jackson were not expecting the results that they got from this year’s music recap.

“My top artists were Chris Brown, Future, Tory Lanez, Drake, and Mariah the Scientist. I knew that they were going to be my top artists, I just got the order that they’re in wrong. It was really just Tory Lanez and Future that I was confused about. I thought I listened to Tory Lanez more, but it turns out it was the other way around,” Jackson said.

One of the highest listening minutes among students at FCUS is 82,693, held by senior Gustavo Ferrer.

“I honestly did expect to have that many minutes, I thought I would get more with last year having 100,000 minutes listened, so I lowered my minutes listened this year,” Ferrer said.

Listening to music that much can seem like an impossible task, but Ferrer is able to make it reality.

“I usually play music every time I’m outside, I don’t leave my house without my headphones with me, I play music whenever I’m doing schoolwork, cleaning the house, playing videogames, and sometimes I even fall asleep while listening to music so it helps to stack up more minutes that go to my Spotify Wrapped by the end of the year,” Ferrer said.

“I like to listen to music when I don’t have anything else going on. It’s like glue between going outside, eating, hanging out with friends, etc,” sophomore Tao May said.
