December has begun and with it Spotify's big music offensive. On December 4, 2025, the platform published the “wrapped” data for various German cities. In Emden, Wilhelmshaven and Oldenburg, listeners show off their musical side - and the results are all about German rap and pop. NWZonline reports that the song “tau mich auf” by Zartmann turned out to be an absolute hit in all three cities.
In the Wilhelmshaven hit list, Zartmann's winning title is followed by the single "Wackelkontakt" by Oimara and the track "APT" by ROSÉ & Bruno Mars. Local heroes Jazeek and Linkin Park are among the top artists, as are international stars such as Taylor Swift and The Weeknd. The most popular albums in Wilhelmshaven are “KPop Demon Hunters” and “MOST VALUABLE PLAYA” by Jazeek, followed by Linkin Park and Lady Gaga.
Musical preferences at a glance
What is it like in Emden and Oldenburg? A similar pattern emerges here. In Emden, after Zartmann, Oimara with “Wackelkontakt” and Alex Warren with “Ordinary” came in second and third place. The soundscape is characterized by German pop and rap, which is also reflected in top artists such as Bonez MC, Luciano and Pashanim. When it comes to albums, “schönhauser EP” by Zartmann is right at the top.
The hits continue in Oldenburg: “Ordinary” by Alex Warren shows where the trend is heading, followed by “APT” by ROSÉ & Bruno Mars. The fan base for Taylor Swift is particularly strong here, while the popularity of Pashanim and Linkin Park are equally noticeable. The most popular albums “KPop Demon Hunters” and “MOST VALUABLE PLAYA” by Jazeek also appear in Oldenburg.
Podcasts and other trends
Another highlight of this Spotify survey are the podcast favorites, which are identical in all three cities: “Gemischtes Hack”, “Mordlust” and “Kaulitz Hills – Mustard from Hollywood”. These formats are in tune with the times and are very popular with listeners.
The differences in musical preferences are nevertheless considerable. Emden has a clear bias towards German-speaking artists, while Oldenburg has a large fan base for Taylor Swift. However, both cities share enthusiasm for current hits such as “Time for something to turn” and “I like the way you kiss me”. T Online informs us about the continued popularity as well as in other cities, where Taylor Swift clearly dominates the top.
Surprisingly, this evaluation is not limited to the northern German borders. A Germany-wide survey shows that Taylor Swift cuts an excellent figure as the most listened to artist and also enchants chart examiners in the rest of the country with her music. Vogue highlights that Zartmann's title is once again sitting on the German musical throne.
In summary, the Spotify Wrapped data for 2025 impressively shows how diverse the music landscape is in Northern Germany. It remains exciting to see how the trends will develop in the coming year.
