When is YouTube Music Winter 2025 recap arriving? Here's what we know so far

The calendar may say Spring, but many YouTube Music listeners are still eagerly waiting for a look back at their winter jams. Anticipation is growing across platforms like Reddit, where users are starting to wonder if the Winter 2025 recap is coming at all.

If you’re feeling impatient, you’re not alone. User UnexpectedScorpionX commented on a Reddit thread, “I’m dying to get my recap, I’ve been waiting for it for a while now”. Of course, they aren’t the only one. I’ve seen several threads on Reddit discussing the situation and most users can’t wait to see what tracks they’ve been jamming to the most.

Adding to the confusion, there seem to be conflicting reports. While most users say they haven’t received anything, a few individuals claim the recaps have started a very slow rollout. Some have even shared screenshots purporting to be the latest seasonal summary covering December 2024 to February 2025. However, these appear to be isolated cases rather than a widespread release.

Looking back might offer some clues. Last year, the Winter 2024 recap was notably delayed, only arriving widely around April 12, well after the official start of spring. Some users even recall receiving theirs later in mid-April. This history suggests that a delay isn’t entirely unusual for the platform.

YouTube’s official support channels haven’t provided a concrete release date either. When asked on social media, TeamYouTube generally directs users to the “Your Recap” section within the YouTube Music app (accessible by tapping your profile picture) and mentions that users need to meet certain listening requirements to be eligible. They simply state the section updates when a new recap is available.

So, while a handful of users might already be seeing their winter listening stats, the vast majority, including me, are still waiting. Based on previous timelines and the current lack of widespread availability, it seems likely that most users can expect the Winter 2025 recap to land sometime in mid-April. For now, keep checking the “Your Recap” section in the app – your winter soundtrack summary could appear any day now.

Meanwhile, another Google service that has people waiting is Search. Many are wondering when the 2025 Doodle contest will open up. If you’re one of those, then you can check out all those details here.
