Apple announced the rollout of Apple Music Replay in response to Spotify’s popular Wrapped feature. Replay lets users look back at the year in music, highlighting the top songs, artists, and albums they’ve listened to.
This year Replay expands the features users are familiar with: the Discovery section highlights new artists they listened to over the year, and the Loyalty section showcases artists they return to year after year. A Comebacks section has also appeared, highlighting an artist who has returned to their usual listening routine.
What’s included in Replay 2025 and how to use it
Users will be able to see the total number of listening minutes, the number of unique artists, the longest listening streak, and favorite genres.
The Replay panel is accessible via the Home tab in the Apple Music app. In addition to the annual Replay, users can return to monthly Replay summaries and view records from previous years. There is also a Replay All Time playlist featuring the songs they’ve listened to most often.
As for artists, they gain access to new metrics, such as audience growth and year-over-year comparisons. As before, they can see the total number of listeners, countries, cities, and listening minutes.
Who was recognized in 2025 and how the services compare
The top song of 2025 on Apple Music is the track APT by ROSÉ and Bruno Mars. Kendrick Lamar and SZA took second place with “luther”, Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars entered the top 3 with “Die With A Smile”, Kendrick Lamar finishes the top four with “Not Like Us”, and Billie Eilish holds fifth place with “Birds of a Feather”.
Replay appears amid the launch of other music-analytics services for 2025: YouTube launches Recaps, Amazon Music rolls out annual summaries, and Spotify continues to focus on Wrapped. Such comparisons help users discover new playlists and review their own musical journey.
Overall, Replay 2025 emphasizes a convenient and personalized approach to the end of the year: it’s a chance to preserve your musical preferences and gain inspiration for future listening experiments.
