YouTube Music has launched its 2025 recap early, offering users a personalized look back at their listening habits while introducing an AI-powered chat feature for deeper interaction.
The recap provides familiar statistics, including total listening time, most-played songs, top artists, and favorite albums, while also highlighting trends like the countries of origin for a user’s preferred artists.
A new “musical passport” feature shows which countries the top artists come from, and a calendar view illustrates which days users listened to specific tracks, making the recap visually interactive and informative.
