Spotify Wrapped 2025: Bad Bunny Dominates as KPop Demon Hunters Leaves a Lasting Impact
On December 6, 2025, Spotify unveiled its annual year-end feature, Spotify Wrapped. This year, the spotlight shone brightly on Bad Bunny, who dominated the global music scene.
Bad Bunny’s Triumph in 2025
Bad Bunny secured the top position as Spotify’s global top artist for the year. His album, Debí Tirar Más Fotos, released in January, was named the global top album. The artist amassed an impressive 19.5 billion streams worldwide. Remarkably, this marks his return to the number one spot, having previously achieved this in 2020, 2021, and 2022.
Notable Hits from Bad Bunny
- Lead single “DtMF” ranked No. 5 on the global songs of the year list.
Taylor Swift’s Impact
Although Taylor Swift’s album, The Life of a Showgirl, broke records, it was noticeably absent from the global top lists for 2025. This is likely due to the short time between its release and the tracking period for this year. Anticipation grows for its appearance in the 2026 global albums list.
Despite this, Swift secured the No. 2 position on the global top artists list and the No. 1 on the U.S. top artists list. The Life of a Showgirl also reached No. 7 on the U.S. albums of 2025 list.
Top Songs of 2025
Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars’ “Die With A Smile” claimed the No. 1 spot on the global songs chart. The top five global songs of the year included:
- 1. “Die With A Smile” – Lady Gaga & Bruno Mars
- 2. “Birds of a Feather” – Billie Eilish
- 3. “Apt” – Rosé & Bruno Mars
- 4. “Ordinary” – Alex Warren
- 5. “Back to Friends” – Sombr
KPop Demon Hunters Make Their Mark
KPop Demon Hunters had a significant presence on Spotify’s year-end lists. The fictional girl group Huntrix from the series secured the No. 7 position on the global top songs list. Their album ranked No. 2 on the global top albums list and No. 4 on the U.S. albums list. Their song “Golden” also made it to the No. 6 position on the U.S. songs chart.
2025 Spotify Wrapped Features
This year’s Spotify Wrapped introduced several exciting features for users. A new addition, “listening age,” evaluates the release dates of songs a listener enjoys and assigns an age based on preferences. Additionally, Spotify now assigns listeners to clubs based on their musical tastes.
Another innovative feature is the fan leaderboard. This enables users to compare their listening habits with others. The most notable feature is Wrapped Party, an interactive game turning music consumption data into a friendly competition among friends.
Spotify encourages users to explore their Wrapped results through the dedicated 2025 Wrapped hub. Results are also available natively within the app.
Conclusion
2025 has been a remarkable year for music on Spotify. Bad Bunny’s dominance, alongside the impact of artists like Taylor Swift and KPop Demon Hunters, highlights the evolving landscape of the music industry. As Spotify continues to enhance user experience, the anticipation for future Wrapped editions grows.
