Spotify Wrapped 2025: does Spotify still track you in November? Full details

• Spotify Wrapped is almost here.
• The annual round-up is a favourite.
• But is it still tracking your habits right now?

It is beginning to look a lot like Christmas and nothing says the festive season quite like unwrapping a special treat from Spotify!

The streaming giant is preparing its annual wrap-up and excitement is growing. The date has yet to be announced for when it releases, but it came out in December last year.

But can you start putting on the festive tunes without worrying about it wrecking your Spotify Wrapped? Here’s all you need to know:

Does Spotify still count your music for Wrapped in November?

There has long been an assumption that Spotify stops the count after Halloween. But that is one of those zombie facts that stick around on the internet no matter how many times it is debunked.

However Spotify has been equivocal and vocal on social media in recent years that the tracking period for Wrapped does not end on October 31. So that means anything you listen to right now could still have a say in how your top artists and songs will turn out.

When does the tracking period end?

Unfortunately, Spotify has continued to remain completely tightlipped on the exact date that the counting for Wrapped ends. But from what we know, it is some time in early to mid-November.

The actual round-up will drop either late this month or early December - so the tracking period must end prior to that. So just be wary when you stream songs in the first weeks of November - it could still influence the results of your Wrapped.

When does Spotify start counting for Wrapped?

The tracking period will begin again in January 2026 - meaning you have a few weeks to stream all your guilty pleasures. It also means that if you like to have Christmas playlists on loop during advent, it isn’t going to show up on your Wrapped next year.

So, fire up Mariah Carey and Michel Buble with gleeful abandon and not have to worry about it knocking your favourites off the list in 2026. Unless you carry on well into January - then you are playing with fire.
