is there a youtube music wrapped

Yes, there is a “YouTube Music Wrapped” style feature, but it’s officially called YouTube Music Recap , and it now lives inside the broader YouTube Recap experience each year.

What YouTube Music Recap Is

YouTube Music Recap is YouTube’s year‑in‑review feature that shows your listening stats, similar to Spotify Wrapped. It usually appears near the end of the year and sometimes has seasonal mini‑recaps too.

You typically get:

  • Top artists and top songs you listened to.
  • Minutes listened, number of new artists discovered, and other listening stats.
  • Genre and mood insights, plus special recap playlists.

How It Relates To “Wrapped”

YouTube does not brand it as “Wrapped” (that’s Spotify’s trademark), but functionally YouTube Music Recap is the answer to “is there a YouTube Music wrapped.”

Media and help articles explicitly describe Recap as YouTube’s equivalent to a Wrapped‑style “media year in review” for your listening and watch history.

How To Access Your YouTube Music Recap

Exact wording and placement can change slightly year to year, but the general flow is:

  1. Open the YouTube app (signed in) on Android or iOS.
  2. Go to the You tab at the bottom.
  3. Look for the Recap or Your Recap banner/card and tap it.
  4. Inside that flow, tap Get your Music Recap or similar to see music‑specific stats, including top artists and songs.

Some users also report being able to open it from their profile picture, then selecting “Your Recap,” where music stats are included if they listened to enough music in the year.

Why You Might Not See It

If you don’t see any “wrapped” / Recap for YouTube Music, common reasons include:

  • Not enough listening time: YouTube Music usually needs a minimum number of hours (e.g., several seasonal hours and around 10 hours for yearly recaps) for it to generate stats.
  • Watch history paused: If your YouTube/YouTube Music history is paused, that listening won’t count towards Recap and can make you ineligible.
  • Rollout timing or account issues: Sometimes Recap rolls out gradually or is temporarily buggy; recent coverage has mentioned cases where Recap felt “broken” or focused more on general YouTube activity than just music in a given year.

Extra: Community “Wrapped” Tools

Before and alongside official Recap, community scripts and tools emerged to create a DIY “YouTube Music Wrapped.” One popular example parses your exported YouTube watch history JSON to generate yearly stats (top tracks, artists, etc.), mimicking a Wrapped report.

These tools appeal to power users who want more control, filters by year, and richer data than the official Recap sometimes exposes.
