Amazon Music drops ‘2025 Delivered’ recap with festival posters, Alexa stats, and new listener badges
Amazon’s year-end recap now goes beyond music, blending podcasts, audiobooks, badges, and custom festival posters into its most shareable experience yet.
Amazon Music has officially rolled out 2025 Delivered, its annual year-in-review experience, and it’s clear the platform wants a real seat in the recap wars. Just like Spotify Wrapped and the growing list of rivals, Delivered breaks down your top artists, most-played tracks, and the genres you kept returning to.
But Amazon is pushing harder this year, adding more personality, more formats, and a much bigger snapshot of how you actually listened in 2025. One of the biggest differences is that Delivered 2025 doesn’t limit itself to music. It includes your top audiobooks and podcasts too, giving you a more complete picture of your listening life.
If you switch from Bad Bunny to bedtime crime podcasts in the same day, Amazon finally acknowledges that mix instead of pretending you’re loyal to one lane. Alexa users also get a unique twist. Delivered 2025 shows the song you asked Alexa to play the most this year, basically exposing the track you shouted across the room over and over. Whether it’s a hype anthem or a slightly embarrassing guilty pleasure, Amazon leans into the fun of reliving those moments.
To make the experience even more shareable, Amazon added achievement-style badges that show what kind of listener you are. There’s the Trendsetter badge for people who start streaming albums before they blow up, and the Headliner badge for fans who rank among the top listeners of a specific artist. It’s a little bit of bragging rights, a little bit of fan culture, and very much designed for social media.
And speaking of sharing, Amazon leaned heavily into aesthetics this year. Delivered 2025 comes with animated recap cards designed around a “music festival” theme. Each user gets their own custom festival poster, “Javier Fest,” “Nia Fest,” “Aisha Fest,” starring their top artists. It’s playful, TikTok-ready, and clearly built for the moment recaps hit Instagram and timelines turn into personality charts.
Amazon 2025 Delivered is now live in the U.S., U.K., Canada, India, Japan, Brazil, Australia, and most of Europe, and anyone with a bit of listening history will get a recap as soon as they open the app. The timing is deliberate too. Amazon Music dropped its recap just days after YouTube released its own and one day after Deezer pushed out “My Deezer Year 2025.”
It seems like every platform is racing to get ahead of Spotify because once Wrapped 2025 arrives, the internet belongs to Spotify for at least 48 hours. It’s December. It’s recap season. And the competition is only getting louder.
The takeaway
Amazon Music’s 2025 Delivered finally feels like more than a Wrapped-style imitation. With festival-themed visuals, Alexa-specific insights, badges for fan identity, and expanded stats covering podcasts and audiobooks, Amazon is carving out a personality of its own. And in a year when every platform wants visibility on social feeds, this might be Amazon’s strongest shot yet at making its recap impossible to ignore.
