It\u2019s that time of the year again. Here\u2019s your guide to YouTube Music\u2019s 2025 Recap, what\u2019s new, and how to check your year in music.<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s officially Recap season. YouTube Music<\/a> has launched its 2025 year-end Recap, meaning listeners can now relive their year in music. It comes just as November wraps, sticking with YouTube\u2019s early rollout schedule. As always, it\u2019s packed with fresh features that make looking at your yearly listening habits that bit more engaging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s new for 2025?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Each year, YouTube adds a few new features to refresh the Recap experience and make it more personalized and interactive. 2025 is no different. Here\u2019s what\u2019s new this year:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Musical Passport<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Trace where you listened to your favorite artists thanks to a new Musical Passport which shows the \u201cXX\u201d number of places you listened to them at.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Listening Calendar<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Discover the days you listened to your top artist with a new calendar graphic which pinpoints the exact days you listened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ask about your listening<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

This year, the star of the show is undoubtedly the new AI-powered \u201cAsk about your listening\u201d feature. You can ask questions about your 2025 listening patterns through a chatbot-style interface. Pick from YouTube\u2019s suggested prompts or type your own and receive a personalized, sharable graphic in return.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It utilizes YouTube\u2019s \u201cAsk Music\u201d<\/a> tool which starts music stations based on user prompts, and is presumably powered by Google\u2019s Gemini AI.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to access your YouTube Music Recap<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Want to look back at your year in music? Jumping into your Recap is simple:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Open and log into the YouTube or YouTube Music app.<\/li>
  2. Click on the Recap prompt, or tap your profile picture and select \u201cYour Recap\u201d.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    From there, you can swipe through your personalized Recap story. You\u2019ll see how long you listened for, your longest listening streak, as well as your top tracks, artist (\u201cYour musical bestie”), and genres.
