Apple Music Replay 2025 Is More Personalized, Also for Artists

Apple Music Replay 2025 is here, and this year the platform takes a more granular approach to its users’ listening habits, an attempt to keep pace with Spotify Wrapped. The usual song stats are amplified with a deeper look at each subscriber’s personal music journey. This year, Apple highlights artists discovered this year, loyalty to favorites and comebacks. The company has also morphed its Apple Music for Artists analytics to Artist Replay, which includes the usual business intelligence but adds visual shareable insights encouraging performers to participate in the viral year-end celebration.

In addition to the new niche categories, “users will also be able to see their total minutes listened to on the streaming service, the total number of artists they listened to, their longest artist streak, favorite genres, and more,” reports TechCrunch. “Apple Music Replay dashboard can be accessed via the Home tab on the music streaming service.” It also has a login page on Apple Music.

“In addition to the yearly Replay, users can revisit their monthly Replay highlights and view yearly summaries from each year they’ve been on Apple Music,” TechCrunch points out, adding that “they can also listen to their ‘Replay All Time’ playlist to hear the songs they’ve played the most since joining the service.”

Apple Music for Artists is available online and via the Artists iOS app, Apple explains on a Support page, informing artists to use the iOS app to “tap the Share icon to directly share your Replay insights on your social media platforms” as well as to save “static or video share cards.”

The collaboration “APT.” from Rosé and Bruno Mars topped the 2025 Apple Music song category, marking “both artists’ first No. 1 on the year-end global songs chart,” The Associated Press writes.

Rounding out that chart, “Kendrick [Lamar] and SZA’s joint track ‘luther’ landed at No. 2 on the Top Songs of 2025: Global, and ‘Die With A Smile’ by Lady Gaga & Bruno Mars rounding out the top three,” Billboard reports.

Tyler The Creator was Apple Music’s Artist of the Year, while rising stars like director J.J. Abrams’ daughter Gracie Abrams (“That’s So True”) also landed in the top 10 for her breakout year.

Apple “shared some fun tidbits from the year’s listening, such as that KPop Demon Hunters’ ‘Golden’ spent 70 consecutive days at No. 1 on the Daily Top 100 — the most total days any song was in the top spot,” 9to5Mac says of the Netflix phenom.
