Deezer has unveiled its personalized year-end review for 2025, getting a head start on competitors like Spotify and Apple Music. The feature, called “My Deezer Year 2025,” provides subscribers with a comprehensive look at their annual listening habits, including top songs, favorite artists, and most-played albums. By launching early, the platform aims to capture user attention and social media buzz ahead of the typical recap season.
This year’s edition adopts a fresh “romantic comedy” theme for its visual storytelling. As users navigate their personalized summary, Deezer presents the data as if it were a lighthearted film, complete with narrative flourishes and playful plot twists. The experience unfolds across three distinct episodes, each designed to highlight different aspects of a listener’s musical journey.
The first chapter, titled “Meet Cute,” focuses on the new artists a user discovered over the past twelve months. Following that, the “Love Triangle” episode puts a spotlight on the listener’s top three musical acts of the year. The recap concludes with “Happily Ever After,” which showcases the user’s favorite tracks and provides a custom playlist for future listening. This thematic approach marks a shift from last year’s interactive format, which allowed users to choose between a humorous “roast” or an enthusiastic “hype” session based on their stats.
A key interactive component returns with the personalized music compatibility quiz. Users can answer questions about their tastes and share the results to find friends with similar listening preferences. New for 2025, anyone can now create their own quiz, even without a Deezer subscription. This strategic move is clearly intended to drive app downloads and increase social sharing, as people invite others to see how their musical tastes align.
Alongside the feature launch, Deezer shared some notable global listening statistics. On average, users streamed over 691 songs from 402 different artists throughout the year. The data reveals that the typical Deezer listener enjoyed approximately 122.8 hours of music and discovered 357 new tracks. “My Deezer Year 2025” is accessible now through the Deezer mobile application on both iOS and Android devices.
