Your Apple Music Replay 2025 Is Here
2025 was another big year for music. We saw new albums from Taylor Swift, Sabrina Carpenter, Tyler the Creator, and, of course, Huntrix ( of K-Pop Demon Hunter fame), to name a few . You may have listened to a slew of new albums released this year, as well as music from the last century. You might not even remember what you were listening to in January. But Apple Music remembers and will serve as a reminder in your Apple Music Replay for 2025.
As of last year, your Replay is available in the Apple Music app. If you’re new to the streaming service, this may seem obvious, especially if you’ve previously used a service like Spotify, which offers similar annual reviews. But it wasn’t always this way: for most of Apple Music Replay’s short history, accessing the review required visiting a separate website , music.apple.com/us/replay , and signing in with your Apple Music account. This seemed silly, given that Spotify Wrapped is essentially an in-app feature, but Apple had to wait until 2024 to implement this program.
However, it appears Apple has made further improvements this year. In 2024, this functionality was essentially limited to the built-in browser, which loaded Apple Music Replay with the same interface as the website. This year, Replay became a native feature of the Apple Music app, at least on iOS.
How to access Apple Music Replay 2025
You can still access your Replay from the official website, but the easiest way is through the app on your iPhone or iPad. Open the app on your chosen device. If the app doesn’t open automatically, go to the Home tab, then tap or click the large “Replay” option that should appear in the upper left corner. (This option also appears in the Music app for Mac, but it will automatically redirect you to the website in your browser.) Regardless of how you open Replay, you’ll see all your months listed there (except December, of course, since it’s just starting), but let’s focus on 2025 as a whole.
Unboxing Apple Music Replay
At the top, you’ll find the “Play Your Year in Music” tile. Tap “Play Highlights,” and Apple Music will take you through the entire year. Here’s what to expect, at least based on my results:
-
First, you’ll see your total listening minutes , along with a collage of the albums you’ve listened to most and one of your most popular songs playing in the background.
-
Next, you’ll see the year’s top artist with a collage of their images and the corresponding song playing in the background.
-
The next slide shows a breakdown of your most popular artists by month.
-
The following metric will show you if any artist has been your favorite for several months .
-
Next you will see the number of songs you have listened to , as well as the best song of the year.
-
You will then see the number of albums you have listened to and which one you liked the most.
-
Second, Apple Music tells you your most popular genres of the year , including the one you listened to most.
-
The last slide sums up the year.
You don’t have to watch the Top Tracks playlist to see these stats: after viewing the playlist, you can scroll through the replay page to see everything featured in the slideshow, plus additional stats. Mine displays the top artists, songs, and albums by month, so I can see which artist was the most memorable in March (Will Stratton), which song I listened to most in August (Chappelle Roane’s “The Subway”), and which album I listened to on repeat in May (Beach Bunny’s “Tunnel Vision”). I also see the top playlists of the year; various listening metrics like minutes played, number of artists, and number of songs played; last year’s replay stats; and a playlist of my top songs of the year.
Many of these stats, both in and out of the highlights podcast, are easily shareable. You’ll see a “Share” icon next to any exported stats, making it easy to share interesting images with friends or on social media. I’ve already blown up the group chat with some of my data, and I expect many of you will do the same.
