Yesterday, Spotify released its annual Wrapped feature for 2025. It's a yearly tradition where millions of users get to see their most listened to songs and artists from the year, among plenty of other interesting stats.  

Alongside these personalised data drops, Spotify also released stats telling us about national listening trends. And there's been a lot of discussion about one thing: the absence of Australian artists from the top of those lists. Today, we’ll explore why this is the case and what we learned from Spotify Wrapped 2025.
