YouTube Music Starts Rolling Out 2025 Recap With Gemini-Powered ‘Ask Music’

Google says the phased release is underway ahead of Spotify’s Wrapped.

Overview

  • The 2025 Recap is live for some users on Android and iOS, with Google confirming a gradual rollout over the coming days.
  • A new Gemini-driven Ask Music chat lets listeners query their year in music using their YouTube history, with responses rendered as shareable graphics.
  • Beyond familiar stats like top songs, artists, minutes listened, and longest streaks, this year adds a day-by-day view and a Musical Passport mapping artist origins.
  • Users can find Recap by tapping their profile in the YouTube Music app and selecting Your Recap, which also offers a saveable playlist of top tracks.
  • Some reports mention Google Photos tie-ins that create shareable cards from favorite photos, though this integration remains unconfirmed by broader sources.
