2025 Spotify Wrapped is out revealing top songs, podcasts, and audiobooks globally. Instead of guessing, they analyzed listening activity from early January through late November to track genuine patterns. Bad Bunny is back at number one. He dropped off in 2024 yet now leads again on Spotify with close to 19.8 billion plays. While others faded, his music surged. Still, few saw this bounce coming. His album DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS climbed worldwide rankings quickly, reflecting growing popularity. Right after came performers like Taylor Swift, The Weeknd, Drake and Billie Eilish which have kept loyal audiences internationally over time.

So, what is the biggest song of 2025? “Die With A Smile” from Lady Gaga featuring Bruno Mars blending classic beats alongside bold imagery. With more than 1.7 billion streams, it stood above the rest as the top choice. At the same time, tracks like Billie Eilish’s “BIRDS OF A FEATHER,” a collaboration between ROSE and Bruno titled “APT.,” or Alex Warren’s “Ordinary” carried real feeling; styles crossed paths, broke limits, yet focused on staying rather than short-lived hype.

In 2025, listening to podcasts and audiobooks has shown to be more popular. Despite heavy competition, Joe Rogan’s podcast still led worldwide. Meanwhile, podcasts like Steven Bartlett’s The Diary of a CEO, along with Mel Robbins’ program, showed personal growth topics remain popular. On Spotify, audiobook listening rose quickly— romance mixed with fantasy became especially notable. Authors like Rebecca Yarros or Sarah J. Maas topped the charts proving audiences today seek rich, gripping stories once more.

The figures from this year show a clear shift in listening habits. Latin music is spreading globally driven partly by Bad Bunny’s return, showing how fast artists can gain international traction. Hit songs now blend styles instead of following old patterns, suggesting fans enjoy fresh pairings. Performers with strong energy and dedicated listeners like Billie Eilish or Sabrina Carpenter prove lasting impact beats fleeting moments. Meanwhile, more people are choosing audiobooks, signaling interest is not just about tunes.

Spotify's "Wrapped” is now out for everyone with distinct visuals highlighting listeners' song choices split into clear pieces anyone can understand. It allows listeners to reflect on their favorite tunes from the year. While specifics shift each time, the vibe remains consistent— listeners bond by posting songs, artists, podcasts or standout audiobooks they enjoyed throughout the year.
