Yandex Music has launched “Raspakovka” (Unpacking) — a personalized listening recap for summer 2026 that analyzes three months of user activity from June through August. The feature goes beyond a simple top-artist card: it reports total listening time in minutes, identifies your most-played artist and track, and — most unusually — generates a fictional music festival named after your genre profile, complete with a lineup of ten artists drawn from your summer listening history.
What you need to know
- The recap covers June–August 2026 and includes total listening minutes, top artist, top track, a personalized festival name and lineup, and a count of users with similar taste.
- Access requires a Yandex Plus subscription; the feature is available in the Yandex Music Android app, the desktop app, and the web version at music.yandex.ru.
- Yandex has not announced an exact end date, but based on past recaps the feature is expected to remain available for several weeks after launch before disappearing.
What the summer recap includes
The Unpacking feature is organized into several data blocks covering a subscriber’s listening habits over the three summer months:
- Top artist of the summer — the artist you listened to the most.
- Top track of the summer — the song you returned to most frequently.
- Total listening time — measured in minutes across the full three-month period.
- Festival name — the service generates a name for an imaginary festival based on your genre profile.
- Festival lineup — ten artists from your summer playlist arranged like a real event poster.
- Like-minded listeners — a count of other users whose summer listening was similar to yours.
Yandex has released its summer 2026 listening recap for music subscribers.
The festival concept is the most distinctive element. Yandex analyzes a listener’s genre profile and generates a festival name that reflects it. The source author reports receiving the name “Inditeka” — apparently a blend of indie and electronica — and notes that the genre label felt more precise than anything they would have chosen themselves.
The source author’s results
The source author reports logging 6,994 minutes of listening — roughly 117 hours, or about an hour and a half per day over the three summer months, which they describe as more than expected.

Their top artist was Derevyannye Kity (Wooden Whales), which the author attributes to playing several of the band’s albums on repeat throughout the summer, before and after the band’s first concert in Yekaterinburg. The personalized festival “Inditeka” featured a ten-artist lineup drawn from their listening data.

The author also notes that 58,093 other users were identified as having similar musical taste — a number they found surprisingly high, having assumed their listening habits were more niche.
How to find the summer recap on Android
Important: The recap is available only to Yandex Plus subscribers. Without a subscription, the Unpacking feature will not appear.
Steps to access it:
- Open the Yandex Music app on Android.
- Go to the main (home) page.
- Tap the Unpacking icon in the upper-left corner.
- Swipe through the cards showing your personal data.
Every Yandex Plus subscriber can view their summer recap.
If the block does not appear immediately, update the app to the latest version via your app store. The recap is also available in the web version at music.yandex.ru and in the desktop application.
How long will the recap be available?
Yandex has not announced an exact end date for the feature. Based on past experience with similar recaps, the source notes that it typically remains accessible for several weeks after launch before being removed from the home screen. There is no need to rush, but waiting too long risks missing it entirely.
Each recap card includes a share button, allowing users to post their results directly from the app. Since every subscriber receives a unique festival name and lineup, comparing results can be an entertaining way to contrast listening habits.
