#yearinmusic 2025 is OUT NOW!

"A bit like Spotify’s Wrapped (but way super better, in my extremely biased opinion) your ListenBrainz Year in Music report summarizes your listening habits from throughout the year 2025… and now, back through time!"

blog.metabrainz.org/2026/01/02/y...
A pretty funky looking piece of text reading "year in music" in front of a pleasant teal-purple gradient. Around the edges it reads "out now - #yearinmusic - 2025+ - ListenBrainz"

2025+ #yearinmusic.
Coming January.

Oooh I tried but I can't stay cool and low-key about it... the '+' does a lot of heavy lifting there and it's gonna be frikkin RAD! Can't wait for you all to see it! -a
A very tasteful (but I would say that, wouldn't I) gradient background with a lot of squares in the middle zooming towards a stylized heart in a circle. In the corners with lots of space between is text reading "COMING JANUARY / ALL / TIME / #YEARINMUSIC"

Lots of improvements to stat calculations, and a new feature for #YearinMusic 2025 👀

Is it too early to get hyped for ListenBrainz' answer to Wrapped? NO! Friends get friends to sign up now, so they don't miss out. Drops Jan -a

Share/link their #ListenBrainz artist page, which features a collage of their 10 most popular albums.

How do you rate these?

You now have a cover art collage on your stats page! We rewrote the internals of the LB music player (aka BrainzPlayer) to improve performance and fix some bugs. Let us know if you have issues with music playback on the website.
