Did you know Amazon Music has its own year-end recap? It’s called Amazon Music Delivered, and similar to Spotify Wrapped, the feature compiles standout stats from a fan’s listening habits into a single, sharable reel.
It’s a great way for fans to learn more about their listening habits and share their tastes with friends. For artists, it’s a great way to personally thank fans for listening by submitting a personal video clip.
If you’re an artist with music on Amazon Music, here’s what you need to do to prepare for Amazon Music Delivered in 2026.

- Artists not yet on Amazon Music can distribute through CD Baby to become eligible
What is Amazon Music Delivered?
Amazon Music Delivered is the platform’s annual, personalized, recap reel. The recap lets listeners view their top artists, songs, podcasts, and listening habits from the past year — and features thank-you videos from their top artists.
Delivered is available to over 70 million Amazon Music customers across 11 markets allowing artists to reach fans around the world from a single clip.
Is Amazon Music Delivered worth it for independent artists?
Yes. The free feature lets you tap into a massive subscriber base and thank fans in a direct, exclusive, and memorable way. Plus, uploading your thank-you clip takes minutes.
How to participate in Amazon Music Delivered
If you have music on Amazon Music, you can participate in Delivered by uploading a short thank you clip that the platform will include in your top fans’ Delivered reels.
It’s the perfect way to connect with fans at a personal moment — as they reflect on how your music shaped their year.
What’s the deadline for submitting a clip to Amazon Music Delivered 2026?
Submissions are due by the end of October 2026, but Amazon recommends submitting your clip as soon as possible.
What to include in your video submission
Amazon Music recommends addressing your top fans directly and referencing “Amazon Music” to demonstrate you made this clip just for them. Beyond that, be yourself and connect with your fans in a way that feels most authentic to you!
Here are a few example scripts for inspiration:
- “To my top fans on Amazon Music, thank you for listening all year. You had me on repeat and that’s the best feeling in the world. I appreciate every single one of you.”
- “Hey, to my top fans on Amazon Music, I just want to say thank you. You’ve been streaming my music, putting me on repeat… that means everything. Thank you for making this year so special. Love you all.”
- “This whole year, you kept coming back. Amazon Music saw every stream. I hope my music gave you something good to hold onto. It gave me a reason to keep making it.”
How to format your video
To ensure your video fits into the Delivered experience, ensure it follows these specifications:
- Format: Vertical video, 9:16
- Length: 15 to 20 seconds
- Resolution: 1080 x 1920 minimum
- Audio: Clear voice, filmed in a quiet environment
- Framing: Face clearly visible and well-lit
- Wardrobe/Setting: Your choice
- File Type: MP4
Please avoid background music, using logos from other platforms, and using heavy filters on your video.
Three tips for making an impactful video
Beyond meeting technical requirements, there are a few ways you can ensure your video resonates with fans.
- Show gratitude: This clip is going to fans who have played your music more than anyone else. Recognize them and make them feel appreciated.
- Be yourself: Show up the way your fans expect. Don’t overthink your delivery or awkwardly read a script. Make it feel natural.
- Promote what’s next: Don’t just look back on the year behind you. Keep the momentum going by teasing what’s coming next.
Where your video may appear
Your video may appear in a few places across Amazon Music. First, it will appear in the Delivered reel experience on the Amazon Music app, as top fans explore their year in review.
The audio of the clip may also appear on:
- Echo devices (or video for multi-modal devices).
- In Amazon-owned marketing channels to entice your top fans to watch your full clip in-app
- In future fan-centered campaigns. (Keep that in mind when recording your clip.)
