Apple Music Replay 2025 Officially Launches: Everything You Need to Know About This Year's Replay

Apple Music Replay 2025 also revealed the top songs and artists dominating the platform.

Rosé and Bruno Mars' "APT." was named the biggest song of 2025 on Apple Music.

The song was the most streamed globally, most identified on Shazam, most played on Apple Radio, and had the most read lyrics, demonstrating its immense popularity.

Apple Music awarded Tyler, the Creator the Artist of the Year 2025 award.

This achievement was based on 4.5 billion minutes of accumulated listening time between November 2024 and October 2025.

Drake becomes Apple Music's most streamed music this year.

Last month, Apple Music named Tyler, the Creator, its artist of the year.

The multi-talented rapper, one year after releasing his critically acclaimed album, "Chromakopia," racked up 4.5 billion minutes of listening time between November 2024 and October 2025, Apple Music reported.

Apple Music Replay is an annual feature designed to summarize subscribers' music listening habits throughout the year.

It also serves as a "music yearbook" showcasing the most-listened-to songs, artists, albums, and genres.

For 2025, Apple Music Replay was released on Tuesday, December 2, 2025.

This launch date is consistent with previous years' patterns, which typically fall in late November or the first week of December.

One of the main differences between Apple Music Replay and similar services is its data collection method.

While some platforms stop collecting data at the end of October, Apple Music Replay continues to collect data throughout the year, from February through December.

Replay playlists are even updated weekly, providing a more dynamic and up-to-date picture.

Apple Music Replay 2025 comes with a series of exciting features that allow users to dive deeper into their listening habits.

Users can view personal listening statistics, including total listening minutes, number of artists listened to, top songs, top artists, top albums, and their favorite genres for 2025.

In addition to statistics, Replay also provides a custom playlist containing the top 100 songs users listened to most throughout the year.

There are also shareable visual highlights, in the form of visual cards and highlight reels of images and videos designed for sharing on popular social media platforms like Instagram and TikTok.

This year, Apple Music Replay 2025 introduces exciting new categories.

The "Discovery" category highlights new artists users discovered throughout the year, "Loyalty" showcases artists who have consistently listened to year after year, and "Comebacks" highlights artists who have re-entered users' listening rotations.

This feature also allows users to review previous monthly and yearly summaries, as well as a "Replay All Time" playlist containing their favorite songs since they first subscribed to Apple Music.

Accessing Apple Music Replay 2025 is easy, either through the app or the website.

For Apple Music app users, simply go to the "Home" or "Listen Now" tab, then scroll down to the "Replay: Your Top Music" section or the "New" tab.

Tap the card that says "Replay – Your music story is here" to view your highlight reel and personal statistics.

Alternatively, you can access Replay on the web by visiting replay.music.apple.com.

Then, sign in with the Apple ID associated with your Apple Music subscription and once signed in, you can play the slideshow and easily browse all your music highlights.

If your Apple Music Replay isn't showing up, there are a few troubleshooting steps you can try.

Check that the "Use Listening History" feature is enabled in your Music app settings, whether on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac.

Also, make sure your Apple Music app is updated to the latest version and that you're signed in with the correct Apple ID.
