Apple Music Replay 2025 is now available to all subscribers Apple's music service, once again becoming the must-do end-of-year event for those who want to review what they've listened to over the past twelve months. The platform thus reinforces its own alternative to Spotify's popular Wrapped, but with a strong focus on data continuity and a more integrated in-app experience.
This year, Replay arrives with a a more polished, visual and easier-to-share experienceDesigned to allow each user to reflect on their musical 2025 and easily share it on social media, Apple is also launching its global and national year-end charts, highlighting the most-streamed songs and artists, including a strong presence of Latin urban music in Spain.
What is Apple Music Replay 2025 and how is it different?
Replay is Apple Music's personalized year-end summary.A compilation of statistics, playlists, and visual cards that show each user's relationship with music throughout the year. Unlike other offerings, Apple continues to collect listening data. all year round, without breaksThis allows us to offer weekly statistics from the beginning of February and to arrive in December with a particularly refined report.
In the 2025 edition, Replay presents itself as a deeper and more precise experienceWith new sections that help to better understand the evolution of musical tastes. It's no longer just about seeing which song you've played the most, but about understanding if you've discovered new artists, if you're staying true to your favorites, or if you've rediscovered bands you'd long forgotten about.
In addition, Apple accompanies Replay with a series of global and local year-end lists which reflect what has resonated most strongly on the platform. In 2025, the global phenomenon is “APT.” by ROSÉ and Bruno Mars, which dominates virtually all the charts: Apple Music streams, Shazam identifications, radio airplay, and letters consulted.
For those who have used Apple Music for years, Replay also acts as a kind of personal archive of his musical lifeThis is because you can review previous summaries and a historical playlist of the most played songs since the subscription launched. It's a kind of audio diary that is updated over the years.
How to access Apple Music Replay 2025
The most direct way to access the summary is from the application itself. Apple has fully integrated Replay into the Home tab from Apple Music on iPhone, iPad, Mac and other compatible devices, including Apple TVso it is no longer essential to go through the browser as was the case in the early years.
To view it from Spain or any European country, simply open the Music app and follow these steps: Go to the Home tab and look for the Replay 2025 modulewhich is usually prominently displayed at the top. If you don't see it right away, scroll down a bit, as that section also includes the playlist with the most listened-to songs of the year, the global list of the most played tracks since you started using the service, and compilations from previous years.
Within the summary itself, the user encounters a "stories" style carouselwith animated cards that present key data from the year: total minutes listened to, most played artists, most popular albums, predominant genres, and most used radio stations and playlists. All of this is displayed in a format very similar to the visual language of Instagram or TikTok.
Those who prefer can continue to access Replay through their browser, on the web replay.music.apple.comThere you will need to log in with the same Apple ID linked to the subscription, but the viewing experience and statistics offered are equivalent to those of the app.
Yes, There is an important conditionThe summary is only available to paid Apple Music subscribers. Users who listen to music for free do not have access to the annual Replay, which sets Apple apart from other platforms that do show summaries even when using the free version.
What data does Replay 2025 show about your musical year?
At the heart of the Replay 2025 experience is personalized listening data. Apple combines playback time, the number of times each track was played, and overall behavior on the platform to build a fairly comprehensive picture of the year. Among the metrics displayed are the following: total minutes listened to, number of artists played, and preferred genres.
This year's edition also incorporates three blocks that organize the musical journey around Discovery, Loyalty, and ReunionsThe Discovery section details the new artists who have entered each user's library for the first time and have achieved a relevant role in their listening habits.
Lealtad reflects the musicians to whom the listener returns time and time again, those who remain in the rotation year after yearIt's a way to visualize which names have already become a safe bet for each person, beyond passing fads or one-off releases.
The Reunions section, for its part, highlights artists who had disappeared from the musical scene And that in 2025 they have regained prominence in users' headphones or speakers. It's an interesting metric to see how albums or groups associated with other stages of life make a comeback.
Alongside these thematic blocks appear other now classic indicators, such as the longest streak listening to the same artist, the distribution of genres, the playlists that have accumulated the most minutes, the albums with the highest number of plays, or the use of personalized stations and radios within the service.
An experience designed to be shared on social media
Beyond the numbers, a key part of Replay 2025 is in the way they are presented. Apple has strengthened the video format and animated cards which it has already launched in previous years, with a Highlight Reel that condenses the main data of the year into a short clip, similar to Instagram stories.
The tour through the cards ends at a Overview designed for sharingThis summary displays your three most listened-to artists, songs, and albums, along with your total playback time. These images can be saved or sent directly to social media, messaging apps, or any other platform, so sharing the summary with others takes only seconds.
This focus on the visual format makes this year's Replay feel like a more "Instagrammable" ritualIt's something that people almost automatically check at the beginning of December to talk with friends about what each of them has listened to, compare surprises, and see if the year's feelings match what the statistics say.
Despite this, the overall approach remains quite sober: The data is there for anyone who wants to delve deeper.But the interface avoids overwhelming the user. You don't need to be a chart-obsessed person to understand what's happened to your music during 2025.
Replay All Time and monthly summaries: your complete history
Apple doesn't just focus on the annual balance sheet. One of the keys to this experience is that Replay works year-roundFor months now, subscribers have been able to check out their monthly highlights, making the service a kind of continuous musical timeline.
In addition to that month-to-month tracking, Apple Music includes Replays from previous years and a special playlist called Replay All TimeThis chart groups the most played songs since the user signed up for the service. It's a way to see which tracks have stood the test of time in your library.
For those who have been Apple Music subscribers for many years, this list may reveal old musical obsessionsThese are songs that might not be played much today, but at the time they were on repeat for months. It's a reminder of how tastes change, but also of which artists remain constant.
The Replay panel, with monthly and annual summaries and All Time playlistsIt's directly accessible from the Home tab. This means it's no longer content that only appears in December, but a permanent section that you can return to at any time to check statistics or see how the year is progressing.
Replay 2025 for artists: advanced metrics and global focus
The other side of the Replay coin is for creators. Apple has used this edition to offer musicians and their teams new metrics on its global impactdesigned both to analyze results and to generate shareable content.
Among the new features are data from audience growth and year-over-year comparative summaries, which allow you to see how interest in specific releases, regions, or playlists evolves. These figures are in addition to the statistics already available on Apple Music for Artists.
Artists can find detailed information about total listeners, countries and cities where their music has been played, minutes played, best-performing songs, or tracks most identified by Shazam. They also have data related to radio airplay, editorial chart positions, and presence on featured playlists.
All of this reinforces the idea of Replay as a tool that not only helps the listener review their year, but also It helps music professionals measure their reach now to make decisions about tours, releases or promotional campaigns based on real data.
Art and music: The Replay Gallery in Miami
To underscore the cultural dimension of Replay, Apple has promoted The Replay GalleryAn exhibition held as part of Miami Art Week, inspired by the most representative musical moments of 2025. The show brings together multi-format works by creators such as Angel Otero, Calida Rawles, Gabriel Moses, Henry Taylor, Jeremy Deller, Sara Sadik, and Tommy Malekoff.
The proposed mix digital world and human experiencewith pieces that revolve around the act of listening, reflecting, and connecting through music. It's a way of translating into the artistic realm the idea that one's listening history reveals a great deal about their identity.
Although this initiative takes place in the United States, it fits with the overall message that Apple wants to associate with Replay: music as a personal narrative, like a continuous narrative that can be reviewed each year to see what has changed and what remains the same.
Apple Music's 2025 global charts: “APT.” reigns worldwide
Coinciding with the arrival of Replay 2025, Apple Music has made its global year-end listsThese figures were compiled from streams, Shazam identifications, radio airplay, and lyric searches. This year's biggest name is ROSÉ, featuring Bruno Mars.
Their collaboration “APT.” is positioned as most streamed song on Apple Music globally And it tops several key charts: Top Songs 2025: Global, Top 100 Shazam Global, Top 100 Radio Global, and Top 100 Lyrics. Rarely has a single song achieved such dominance across so many different metrics on the platform.
Other notable tracks on the global Top Songs chart include: “Luther” by Kendrick Lamar and SZA“Die With A Smile” by Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars, “Not Like Us” by Kendrick Lamar and “BIRDS OF A FEATHER” by Billie Eilish, which complete the top five positions on the list.
The Shazam, radio, and lyrics charts feature many of these names and highlight some of the year's breakout artists, such as “Messy” by Lola Young or Alex Warren's "Ordinary", which have been especially powerful in radio identification and rotation.
In parallel, Apple has appointed Tyler, The Creator as Artist of the Year 2025 on Apple Music, after accumulating billions of listening minutes between the end of 2024 and October 2025. The recognition underlines both its commercial impact and its creative weight within the current landscape.
Kendrick Lamar and SZA: the duo that has defined the year
If there's one label that has stood out on the global charts for 2025, it's TDE, thanks to the combined efforts of Kendrick Lamar and SZA. Kendrick closes out the year with five songs in the world Top 25, more than any other artist, while SZA adds three more tracks among the most listened to.
Their collaborations “luther” and “30 For 30” have become two of the year's biggest musical milestonesThese releases have achieved very high positions in song charts, lyrics searches, and playlists. A significant part of the global musical narrative of 2025 revolves around them.
This dominance is reinforced in rankings such as the lyrics chart, where Kendrick leads the number of songs present in the Top 100His work, full of references and nuances, seems to have invited many listeners to stop and calmly read what his songs tell.
Lola Young, “Golden” and other phenomena of 2025
Among the names that have made a qualitative leap this year, the following stand out: Lola youngFollowing her collaboration with Tyler, The Creator on “Like Him”, her song “Messy” ended 2025 in prominent positions on several charts: second in the global Shazam Top 100, third on global radio and within the Top 30 most listened-to songs worldwide.
In the field of K-Pop, one of the biggest phenomena has been “Golden” by Demon Hunters, which has not only made it into the global Top 15, but has reached fourth place in both the lyrics ranking and the Sing ranking, a list focused on the songs most performed by users.
The song has passed 70 consecutive days as number one in the Daily Top 100, the highest figure of the year, before giving way to Taylor Swift's "The Fate of Ophelia". Its songwriting and production credits include names like EJAE, Mark Sonnenblick, and Teddy, which helps explain its impact.
Shazam's global charts also include several viral hits, such as “Shake It To The Max (FLY)” by MOLIY, mixing Afropop with Caribbean influences, and Doechii's "Anxiety," which combines different genres. There's even room for rediscovered classics, like Goo Goo Dolls' "Iris," which reappears among the most recognizable songs of the year.
What's been playing in Spain: Apple Music and Shazam charts
If we focus on Spain, the musical map of 2025 is dominated by Latin rhythms and urban musicIn Apple Music's Top Songs 2025 in Spain, the top spots are held by "capaz (merengueton)" by Alleh & Yorghaki and "La Plena (W Sound 05)" by W Sound, Beéle and Ovy On the Drums.
Among the ten most listened-to songs of the year in the country are also several Bad Bunny releases, such as “BAILE INOLVIDABLE”, “NUEVAYoL”, “VOY A LLeVARTE PA PR” or “DtMF”, in addition to “mi refe” and “no tiene sentido” by Beéle and “Si Antes Te Hubiera Conocido” by KAROL G. Quevedo also sneaks into the ranking with “GRAN VÍA”, confirming the good form of the Spanish-speaking scene.
In the Shazam Spain charts, which reflect which songs have sparked the most curiosity throughout the year, the dominance of “capaz (merengueton)” and “La Plena (W Sound 05)” is repeated, accompanied by “Messy” by Lola Young, “APT.” by ROSÉ and Bruno Mars and “Die With A Smile” by Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars, which complete the Top 5.
By artist, the most searched names on Shazam in Spain in 2025 were Bad Bunny, Beéle, Myke Towers, Anuel AA and Rauw AlejandroA combination that confirms the pull of reggaeton, urban pop and Latin fusions in the country's music consumption.
This cross-referencing of data between Apple Music and Shazam allows to draw a fairly clear picture From what we've heard here: lots of Latin rhythm, international collaborations very present on the radio, and a constant mix between global hits and proposals emerging from the Hispanic sphere.
With all this, Apple Music Replay 2025 is consolidated as a complete tool for reviewing the musical yearThis applies both globally and from each user's perspective. The new, more integrated, visual, and shareable format complements existing charts that accurately reflect what's been popular worldwide and in Spain, as well as metrics that make the relationship with music something that can be examined in detail, while still remaining an everyday and, to a large extent, emotional experience.
