Apple announced on Tuesday that it’s rolling out Apple Music Replay, its answer to Spotify’s popular Wrapped feature. Apple Music Replay gives users a look back at their year in music by highlighting their top songs, artists, and albums they streamed.
This year, the feature includes even more listening habits, including the “Discovery” section, which highlights new artists users listened to, and “Loyalty,” which spotlights artists that users have kept coming back to each year. Additionally, the “Comebacks” section highlights artists who made a return to users’ listening rotation.
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.
Apple Music Replay dashboard can be accessed via the Home tab on the music streaming service.
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. They can also listen to their “Replay All Time” playlist to hear the songs they’ve played the most since joining the service.
As for artists, they will get access to new metrics such as listenership growth and year-over-year performance summaries. As with previous years, they’ll be able to see metrics like total listeners, countries, cities, and minutes.
Apple also announced that the top song of 2025 on Apple Music is ROSÉ and Bruno Mars’ “APT.” Kendrick Lamar and SZA followed in second place with “luther.” Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars rounded out the top three with “Die With A Smile.” Fourth place went to Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us,” and Billie Eilish took fifth place with “Birds of a Feather.”

Apple Music’s Replay comes a week after YouTube launched its 2025 Recaps and the same day that Amazon Music released its own yearly recaps. The companies’ year-end features have arrived ahead of Spotify’s — likely in the hopes of getting the jump on music-related social media sharing.
