AI-assisted summary
Your Spotify Wrapped or Apple Music Replay results may seem inaccurate for several reasons.
The tracking period for these services often ends in October or November, excluding late-year listening habits.
Factors like short songs, algorithmic playlists, and background music can skew your final statistics.
What music shaped your world this year? Both Spotify Wrapped and Apple Music's Replay dropped this week to show you your favorite tunes and what held your attention in 2025. Which songs did you obsess on? Which albums rocked your world?
Wait, why is Coldplay on there? And that one Ape Army song you clicked on once by mistake? Where's the "Wicked" soundtrack that got you through November? Are these really the songs you listened to the most?
Not necessarily.
