Grab your earphones, crank up the volume and get ready to tune in to our tips and predictions for Spotify Wrapped 2025 below.&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h2>What is Spotify Wrapped?</h2> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Spotify Wrapped first rolled out in 2015 as Spotify Year in Music before being rebranded to Wrapped in 2016. It’s an annual campaign that turns your listening data into a slick, interactive display of your year’s most-played tracks, artists, and genres.</p> <p>Users typically get a pop-up in the app when Wrapped drops, turning social media feeds into a flurry of colourful story slides and bragging rights.<br /> Data is collected from January 1 through to late October or early November (Spotify’s exact cut-off remains a bit of a mystery), then crunched into your personal year-end mixtape.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h2>When is Spotify Wrapped set for release in 2025?</h2> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>While we are yet to get an official release date, Spotify Wrapped has consistently been released around the second week of December. Just in time to become everyone’s favourite distraction at work!</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h2>Spotify Wrapped 2025 Tips &amp; Predictions</h2> <h3>Who will be Spotify’s Top Global Artist in 2025? - The Contenders</h3> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h4>Taylor Swift</h4> <p>The ‘Eras Tour’ might have taken its final bow in December 2024, but the Swift-Train didn’t stop. A brand-new album was released in October, which naturally sent both Spotify and the internet into a meltdown as Swifties rushed to play and replay faster than you could say “surprise double album”</p> <p>Will her fate be decided by just how late she left dropping the newest album? Either way, she’s never not too far away from the top of these things in any given year, so we expect her to be near the top again.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h4>Alex Warren</h4> <p>With angels up in the crowd, there’s nothing to be jealous of the extraordinary year Alex Warren has put together.</p> <p>Whether it’s tonight or 55 years down the road, it won’t be long before he’s carried home to a big win as the most-streamed artist of the year.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h4>Bad Bunny</h4> <p>El Conejo Malo continues to hop from strength to strength. Already one of Spotify’s most-streamed artists globally, his upcoming Super Bowl halftime show announcement sent fans on a massive re-listen spree.</p> <p>Expect streams to multiply faster than his beats drop — he’s still the Bad Bunny everyone wants on their playlist.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h4>Chappell Roan</h4> <p>Oh, look what you’ve done? You’ve created one of the most viral soundtracks of 2025.&nbsp;</p> <p>From her neon-lit ‘Pink Pony Club’ to her unapologetically bold bops, the American has been Hot to go and enjoyed a dominant year. And with a cult-like following, it should translate well into bulk downloads as one of the top, top artists of the year.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <h4>&nbsp;</h4> <h4>Billie Eilish</h4> <p>A world tour and nominations for ‘Favourite Touring Artist, Album of the Year, Favourite Pop Album, and Song of the Year, it’s safe to say that 2025 has been a productive one for the American singer-songwriter.&nbsp;</p> <p>‘Hit Me Hard and Soft’ had no shortage of bangers on it, with a rendition of ‘Birds of a Feather’ even getting a featured performance at this year's Grammys. It would be a shock if she doesn’t feature prominently, if not at the very top of the global charts.&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Betting tip:</strong> <a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/betting/novelties-and-entertainment/spotify-wrapped/spotify-wrapped-2025-8804063">Chappell Roan</a></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h3>What will be Spotify’s Top Global Podcast? - The Contenders&nbsp;</h3> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h4>The Joe Rogan Experience</h4> <p>Still the heavyweight champ of the podcasting world, the world’s most popular podcast garners approximately 10-12 million listens per episode.</p> <p>With high-profile guests, deep-dive debates, and Spotify exclusivity, Rogan’s show continues to pack a serious punch. It’s got every chance of retaining its top-of-the-charts spot.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h4>The Diary of a CEO with Steven Barlett</h4> <p>With over a billion cumulative streams across audio and visual platforms, and a bestseller book to accompany it, the show has surged into the global podcast spotlight.</p> <p>After hitting number one in the podcast charts in the UK earlier this year, it could well be heading for higher honours once the full Wrapped comes out.&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h4>New Heights with Jason &amp; Travis Kelce</h4> <p>The NFL’s most famous brothers have turned touchdowns into talk shows. When a certain pop superstar (and now fiancée) entered the frame, the podcast’s audience skyrocketed like a Hail Mary pass.</p> <p>Their mix of locker-room laughs, hot takes, and brotherly chemistry makes New Heights a strong bet to climb to new heights in Spotify Wrapped 2025.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h4>Huberman Lab</h4> <p>The health and wellness podcast has rewired listeners' brains the world over, and has them living by and sticking to the five habits of Huberman.</p> <p>Its combination of expert-led deep dives into neuroscience, actionable performance/health protocols, and a highly engaged cross-platform audience positions it strongly as a contender for the top global podcast spot in 2025.</p> <p><br /> <strong>Betting tip:</strong> <a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/betting/novelties-and-entertainment/spotify-wrapped/spotify-wrapped-2025-8804063">The Joe Rogan Experience</a></p>
