Apple Music Replay 2025 Launches with New Insights, Updated Playlists & Global Charts

Apple Music Replay 2025 is now live, giving subscribers a personalized wrap-up of their listening habits for the year. The update brings improved statistics, playlists, and an easier way to review your “year in music.”

What is Replay 2025

Apple Music Replay is a feature that tracks a subscriber’s listening history throughout the year and compiles it into a summary playlist and stats dashboard. Users receive a “Replay 2025” playlist containing their top songs, along with lists of the top artists, albums, and genres based on listening time and play counts.

Unlike some streaming services that offer only a year-end snapshot, Replay remains active all year. It updates weekly so listeners can regularly see their top tracks. 

What’s New in 2025

This year, Apple Music made Replay more accessible and feature-rich. On devices running iOS 26 or later, Replay is now a fully native component of the Apple Music app rather than a web overlay. That means users can open the app and navigate directly to their Replay summary under the Home tab.

Replay 2025 also adds new insights. In addition to top songs, albums, and artists, users can now view total listening time, the number of different artists they played, their favorite genres, and listening streaks. There is also an “All-Time Replay” playlist for long-time subscribers that aggregates their most-played songs across the entire Apple Music history.

How to Access Your Replay

To see your 2025 Replay: open the Apple Music app on iPhone, iPad, Mac, or compatible Android device. Then go to the Home (or Listen Now) tab and scroll down to find the “Replay: Your Top Music” card. Tap to view your summary and playlist. 

Alternatively, users can go to the website replay.music.apple.com and sign in with their Apple ID to access their stats.

To ensure Replay works correctly, make sure “Use Listening History” is enabled in Apple Music settings. Otherwise plays might not be recorded.

2025’s Most-Streamed Songs Globally

In addition to personalized summaries, Apple Music released global charts. The top overall song on Apple Music in 2025 was APT. by ROSÉ and Bruno Mars.

Other top songs included Luther by Kendrick Lamar and SZA; Die With a Smile (Bruno Mars & Lady Gaga); Not Like Us by Kendrick Lamar; and Birds of a Feather by Billie Eilish.

These charts provide insight into global listening trends, while individual Replay summaries reflect personal listening habits.

Why Replay Still Matters

For listeners, Replay 2025 offers more than nostalgia. It makes it easier to see how music preferences evolved over the year and how listening habits changed. Weekly updates also let users spot new favorite songs or revived old tracks quickly.

The addition of listening-time data and genre breakdowns helps users understand their broader listening patterns. Sharing options let users present their musical identity or discoveries with friends and on social media.

For artists and the music industry, global charts and aggregated stats may highlight emerging trends and popular tracks. That can influence playlists, promotion, and the focus of marketing efforts.

Final Thoughts

Apple Music Replay 2025 brings a comprehensive, user-friendly summary of how people listened to music this year. The fully native integration, playlists updated weekly, and new statistics make it easy for users to revisit their most-streamed songs and understand their listening behavior.

With the global charts showing top tracks worldwide and Replay tracking personal listening, the feature offers both a communal and personal look back at 2025 in music. Listeners ready to reflect on their year should open Apple Music, check the Replay section, and see what defined their soundtrack.
