You can also see the first-ever song you've ever streamed on the platform

  • Spotify has released Spotify 20: Your Party of the Year(s)
  • This feature gives insights into your listening habits since you first joined the platform
  • It's been so popular that the app went down for thousands across the UK and the US
  • The feature is available for free and premium members

Spotify is marking two decades in the music streaming game with a new mobile-only feature that feels very similar to its annual Spotify Wrapped experience.

Spotify Wrapped is the platform’s yearly recap that summarises your listening habits over the past 12 months, highlighting your top artists, songs, genres, total listening time, and personalised insights into your music taste.


Now, with “Spotify 20: Your Party of the Year(s),” the platform extends that same concept into a much longer time frame—offering a trip down memory lane through your entire listening history on the app.

The experience works like a personalised data capsule, uncovering listening moments that have never been shown before. It reveals details such as your most-streamed artist of all time, total minutes spent listening to them, your first-ever streamed song, and other long-term patterns in your music journey.

You’ll also receive a curated playlist of your top 120 most-played tracks of all time, including play counts for each song, which can be saved directly to your library.

The new feature has been so popular that the streaming platform went down for thousands across the US and UK.

Spotify 20: Your part of the year feature on mobile

If you haven't accessed the new feature yet, it usually appears in-app like its other Spotify Wrapped-style campaigns when available

It's available for both free and premium members. For paid members, the subscription prices are as follows:

  • £12.99 for Premium Individual
  • £17.99 for Premium Duo
  • £21.99 for Premium Family
  • £5.99 for Premium Student

If you haven't accessed the new feature yet, it usually appears in-app like its other Spotify Wrapped-style campaigns when available.

To find it, first open the Spotify app on your phone and make sure it’s fully updated from the App Store or Google Play. These features often don’t show up on older versions.

Next, log in and go to the Home tab. Spotify typically places special experiences like this at the very top of your Home feed as a banner or card.

Tap on any banner that mentions “20 Years,” “Your Listening,” or a recap-style story. It will launch a guided, swipeable experience showing your listening stats and top artists.

If you don’t see it immediately, use the Search tab and type keywords like “20 Years,” “Spotify recap,” or “your listening history.” Sometimes it appears there as a hub page.

Also, check your Messages/Notifications inside the app — Spotify often sends a direct link when the feature is available to you.

You can also head to spotify.com/20 on your mobile. If it still doesn’t appear, it may not have rolled out to your account yet, since Spotify releases these features in waves rather than all at once.
