Spotify turns 20 with a personalized ‘Party of the Year(s)’ recap of your entire streaming history

Spotify celebrates 20 years with a Wrapped-style feature that lets users revisit their first song, top artists and all-time listening history.

Spotify is celebrating its 20th anniversary by handing listeners a personalized look back at everything they have streamed on the service since day one.

Called Spotify 20: Your Party of the Year(s), the feature plays like Wrapped stretched across your whole relationship with the platform. For the first time, users can dig into the date they joined, the first song they ever played, the total number of unique tracks they have listened to, and the artist they have streamed most over time.

There is also an All-Time Top Songs Playlist, which gathers each listener’s top 120 songs and shows the play counts beside them, ready to be saved straight to their library. Every data story also comes with a custom share card that can be saved, sent to friends or posted on social media.

To find it, open the Spotify mobile app and search for “Spotify 20” or “Party of the Year(s)”, or go to spotify.com/20 on your phone.

The new feature arrives shortly after Spotify revealed the most streamed artists, songs and albums in the platform’s history since 2006, with Taylor Swift named the most streamed individual artist overall.

Bad Bunny’s 2022 album Un Verano Sin Ti topped the albums ranking, while The Weeknd’s 2020 hit “Blinding Lights” remained the most streamed song on Spotify of all time.

The anniversary rollout lands during a difficult stretch for Spotify, which has faced ongoing criticism over artist payments, as well as renewed attention on CEO Daniel Ek’s investments.

Several artists have responded by pulling away from the platform. Massive Attack said their new music will never appear on Spotify after asking their label UMG to remove their catalogue, following reports that Ek had backed a €600million (£524million) investment into Helsing, the Munich-based company developing drones and artificial intelligence for military use.

King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard also removed their music from the service, saying they wanted to “put pressure on these Dr. Evil tech bros to do better”, while the Sabres Of Paradise took their music off Spotify over its “financial ties to AI-driven weapon technologies”.

Other artists including Deerhoof, Wu Lyf and Xiu Xiu have made similar moves in recent times.

In September, Ek said he would step down as CEO on January 1, 2026, with Spotify co-presidents Alex Norström and Gustav Söderström set to succeed him.
