Spotify marks 20 years with a personalized recap of your entire listening history

Spotify launches Your Party of the Year(s), a personalized 20th-anniversary feature tracking your full listening history.

Spotify has launched a new 20th-anniversary feature that looks back across a user’s full time on the service.

Called Spotify 20: Your Party of the Year(s), the experience works like Wrapped, but stretches beyond a single year. For the first time, users can see the day they joined Spotify, the first song they streamed, the total number of unique songs they have played, and their all-time most streamed artist.

Listeners will also get an All-Time Top Songs Playlist, made up of their top 120 tracks. The playlist includes play counts and can be saved directly to a library.

Each data story also comes with a custom share card that can be saved, sent to friends, or posted on social platforms.

To find it, users can open the Spotify mobile app and search for “Spotify 20” or “Party of the Year(s)”, or visit spotify.com/20 on mobile.

The rollout follows Spotify’s recent reveal of the most streamed artists, songs and albums on the platform since 2006, with Taylor Swift named the most streamed solo artist overall.

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

Spotify’s anniversary feature arrives during a period of continued criticism around artist payments and the investments made by CEO Daniel Ek.

Several acts have already moved against the platform. Massive Attack said their new music will never be released there after they asked UMG to remove their catalogue, following reports that Ek had backed a €600million (£524million) investment into Helsing, a Munich-based company developing drones and artificial intelligence for military operations.

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”. Sabres Of Paradise later pulled their catalogue over its “financial ties to AI-driven weapon technologies”.

Other artists to remove work from Spotify include Deerhoof, Wu Lyf and Xiu Xiu.

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