Apple Music Replay 2025 is officially live, and Apple kicked things off with a full breakdown of the most played songs around the world. Alongside the personal recap we all love, Apple also dropped new charts, playlists, and even a real world art experience tied to this year’s music.
The Top 5 Most Played Songs Globally
Apple revealed the global top five most streamed songs from November 1, 2024 through October 31, 2025. Here is what the world had on repeat:
- ROSÉ and Bruno Mars, “APT.”
- Kendrick Lamar and SZA, “luther”
- Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars, “Die With A Smile”
- Kendrick Lamar, “Not Like Us”
- Billie Eilish, “BIRDS OF A FEATHER”
If you want the full picture, Apple has a dedicated top 100 playlist inside the app. There are also regional top 100 lists, Shazam charts, and even the top 100 most read lyrics, which is surprisingly fun to scroll through.
Your Personalized Apple Music Replay 2025
Now for the main event. Apple Music Replay 2025 gives subscribers a clean, visual summary of their music year. You get stats like:
• total minutes of music
• your top artists
• your favorite genres
• your longest listening streak with one artist
This year, Apple also added new insights called Discovery, Loyalty, and Comebacks. These shine a light on the new artists you found, the ones you keep returning to, and the artists who unexpectedly came back into your rotation.
The Replay playlist that updates all year is still available, but the big end of year version is the one most people will be sharing.
Updates for Artists Too
Apple did not forget musicians. Replay 2025 for Artists now shows total listeners, top cities and countries, minutes streamed, top songs, radio spins, chart performance, and playlist placements. New additions include growth metrics and year over year performance summaries, which should give artists a clearer sense of how their audience is shifting.
A Music Recap Turned Into Art
One unexpected part of this year’s rollout is The Replay Gallery at Miami Art Week. Apple is showcasing multi format artworks inspired by major musical moments of the year.
Featured artists include Angel Otero, Calida Rawles, Devon Turnbull, Gabriel Moses, Henry Taylor, Jeremy Deller, Sara Sadik, and Tommy Malekoff. The idea is to bridge digital listening habits with physical art and turn the act of reflecting on your year in music into an experience.
