How it works.
01
Sign in.
Connect Spotify, Apple Music, or SoundCloud. We pull your listening history so you’re rating what you played, not what you remembered.
02
Rate ten or more albums.
Score them out of 100. Pin your favorites to your album board. The recap unlocks at 10 ratings — that’s the floor for a recap that actually means something.
03
Wait for the reveal.
Your recap goes live December 1 at 9 AM your time. We’ll email you a link the moment it’s ready.
Questions.
When does the Goat Music recap drop?
December 1, 2026. Reveal email lands at 9 AM in your local timezone. After that, your recap lives at goatmusic.me/u/[your-username]/2026 forever — you can come back to it any time.
How is this different from Spotify Wrapped?
Wrapped is built from listening time. Goat’s recap is built from your ratings — the records you actively scored this year. Different inputs, different output: Wrapped surfaces what was on rotation; Goat surfaces what you decided was worth coming back to. (Spotify and Spotify Wrapped are trademarks of Spotify AB; Goat Music is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Spotify.)
What if I haven’t rated many albums in 2026?
Recaps unlock at 10 ratings. If you’ve rated fewer, sign in to Spotify or Apple Music and we’ll surface your top played-but-unrated albums for the year so you can score them in a few clicks before December 1.
Is my recap public?
You choose. The default is friends-only — visible to people you follow. You can change it to fully public (so the recap can be shared and indexed), or fully private (so only you see it). Settings are at goatmusic.me/account.
Can I see other people’s recaps?
Public recaps are shareable via direct link. We don’t list them on a discovery feed — that would feel surveillance-y. If a friend shares their recap, you can see theirs and compare “compatibility scores” (how much your tastes overlap on rated albums).
Do I need to connect Spotify or Apple Music for the recap to work?
No. The core recap is built from your Goat ratings. Connecting a streaming service unlocks extra sections — minutes-listened, taste-shape audio analysis, top-played-but-unrated suggestions — but the rating-only recap is complete on its own.
Can I share my recap to Instagram, Twitter, or Threads?
Yes. Each section of the recap has a tap-to-share card — 1080×1920 vertical for Instagram Stories, 1200×630 for Twitter / Threads / Bluesky. Cards are pre-cropped, branded, and include a back-link to your full recap.
What about prior years — can I see my 2025 or 2024 recap?
Goat launched in 2026, so 2026 is the first year with a recap. As your rating history compounds, year-over-year comparisons unlock automatically — your 2027 recap will show how your taste shifted from 2026, your 2028 will show a three-year arc, etc.
