Spotify is rolling out a new Wrapped-style feature that lets users explore their entire music history on the platform. The experience includes previously unreleased data spanning from their first day as a subscriber.

Starting today, Spotify mobile app users can access Spotify 20: Your Party of the Year(s), a personalized retrospective covering their complete listening timeline. The feature displays key milestones including join date and first song streamed. Unlike the annual Wrapped recap released each December, this anniversary experience aggregates data from a user's entire time on Spotify. The company is marking its 20th birthday by giving subscribers a comprehensive look at their streaming habits and music journey. The feature is currently available on Spotify's mobile app. Users can access it directly within the application to view their historical listening data and personalized insights from their years on the platform.
