Explore Your Musical Preferences with Apple Music Replay 2025

Dominating the Charts: 'Apt.' by Rosé and Bruno Mars

As 2025 draws to a close, music streaming platforms are releasing their much-anticipated yearly summaries, and Apple Music’s Replay has officially launched. This feature promptly showcases your music habits from the past year, though it arrives with one month still left in 2025. You can dive into the latest Replay details via the Home tab in your app.

Replay presents a comprehensive look at your listening habits, from total playback time to the variety of artists explored. The feature unveils your top tracks and albums. Additionally, new this year is a 'discovery' statistic that spotlights artists you began embracing in 2025. The loyalty metric reveals which musicians consistently capture your interest over time, while the 'comebacks' section highlights artists reintroduced into your playlist rotation.

Leading the pack as the year's most-played song globally on Apple Music is the infectious hit “Apt.” by the dynamic duo, Rosé and Bruno Mars. Joining the song in the top five are “Luther” by Kendrick Lamar and SZA; “Die with a Smile” by Lady Gaga featuring Mars; “Not Like Us” from Lamar; and “Birds of a Feather” by Billie Eilish. Notably, “Apt.” also claims the title of the most Shazammed song of the year.

On a personal note, I hardly needed Replay’s stats to inform me that my 2025 was dominated by the energetic tunes of Electric Callboy and the innovative sounds of Babymetal—two groups I’ve been enamored with since early spring. Their joint venture, “Ratatata,” claimed the top spot in my playlist. Meanwhile, I was taken aback to see the intricate Japanese math rock group Toe earn third place, and the Editors, a band associated with the post-punk revival, secure a top-five spot, despite my frequent early-year plays of their album, 'The Back Room.'

In a bid to provide a more detailed look at personal music journeys, Apple Music introduced a monthly Replay last year. This feature breaks down preferred songs, albums, and artists by month and catalogs personal milestones in listening habits. Moreover, it allows users to revisit their previous Replay editions and access a comprehensive 'Replay All Time,' showcasing the tracks with the most rotations on the platform.
