2025 is almost over, and just like every year, it went by so fast. Music is a daily thing for most of us now, whether you are going to work or on your way to college. Now it feels like it’s a good time to check our listening recap. YouTube Music is expected to be the first to release its yearly recap, showing your top artists, albums, and songs. Here’s when you can see your YouTube Music 2025 Recap this year.
When will YouTube Music Recap 2025 come out?
Just like previous years, this recap usually goes live between late November and early December. So it might drop at the end of this month or in the first week of December. YouTube Music has been giving end-of-year recaps since 2021, and later added seasonal recaps as well.
Here’s a small peek into the previous year’s launch dates of the YouTube Music recaps:
- 2024: The recap began rolling out for users in mid-to-late November, with the official announcement on November 25, 2024.
- 2023: The official announcement and release occurred on November 30, 2023.
- 2022: The recap was released around late November/early December of that year.
- 2021: The 2021 recap was available in early December 2021.
There’s a good chance the 2025 recap will go live in late November, as YouTube Music has already started testing it on some devices. We even got a YouTube Music 2025 Recap pop-up on one of our phones, but the recap isn’t fully available yet. Here’s a screenshot below for reference.
