Deezer has become the first major music streaming service to release its annual listening recap, dubbed “My Deezer Year 2025.” The feature, similar to Spotify’s popular “Wrapped,” provides users with a personalized summary of their musical habits throughout the year – beating competitors like Apple Music and Amazon Music to the punch.
What ‘My Deezer Year’ Offers
The recap delivers a detailed overview, including top tracks, favorite artists, most-listened-to albums, and total listening time. This year, Deezer has adopted a playful “romantic comedy” theme for the experience. Users will navigate their data as if starring in a rom-com, complete with story-driven episodes and “plot twists.”
The recap is broken into three segments:
- “Meet Cute” : Spotlights new artists discovered during the year.
- “Love Triangle” : Highlights the user’s top three artists.
- “Happily Ever After” : Showcases favorite tracks with a personalized playlist.
A Shift in Engagement
This year’s approach differs from the “roast or hype” option offered in “My Deezer Year 2024,” leaning into a more immersive narrative. Deezer is also expanding engagement with a personalized music-compatibility quiz, which can now be created and shared by non-Deezer users – a strategic move to drive app downloads and social sharing.
Key Listening Statistics
Deezer released global listening stats, revealing that users streamed an average of 122.8 hours of music over the past year. On average, users listened to 691 songs from 402 artists, discovering 357 new tracks. This data illustrates the sheer volume of music consumption on the platform.
The early release of “My Deezer Year” underscores a competitive trend within the streaming industry, where platforms race to provide personalized experiences that keep users engaged and sharing.
The feature is now available on iOS and Android. Deezer’s early move is a clear attempt to capitalize on the viral potential of these annual recaps before competitors release their own versions.
