Apple Music Replay 2025 is back with new listening stats
Apple Music is stepping into the spotlight with the launch of its annual recap feature, Apple Music Replay, which aims to provide users with an in-depth overview of their listening habits for the year. This year’s version is designed to be more user-friendly and engaging, available natively within the app. Users can now explore a wealth of statistics, including their most-listened-to songs, favorite genres, and even the total time spent enjoying music on the platform. One standout feature allows listeners to track their musical evolution by highlighting new artists they’ve discovered and those they revisited throughout the year. Additionally, Apple Music Replay offers a shareable highlight reel, perfect for showcasing your musical journey on social media platforms like Instagram and TikTok.
As the competition heats up in the music streaming space, Apple Music’s move comes as part of a broader trend where major platforms are rolling out their own year-end recaps. YouTube Music recently introduced its 2025 listening stats, focusing on video consumption, while Amazon Music has launched its unique “Delivered” recap, creatively presenting users’ listening habits as a festival poster. These initiatives cater to the growing demand for personalized content and enhance user engagement. As fans eagerly await Spotify Wrapped, expected to launch soon, Apple Music is clearly looking to get ahead of the game by offering a comprehensive and visually appealing way for users to reflect on their musical experiences over the past year.
Moreover, Apple Music is not just focusing on individual users; it also provides insights for artists through a dedicated Replay feature. This allows musicians to track their listener growth, assess year-over-year performance, and identify their top-streamed songs. Artists can access their data via the Apple Music app or through the dedicated Replay website, replay.music.apple.com. This dual approach not only enriches the user experience but also supports artists in understanding their audience better, ultimately fostering a deeper connection between creators and listeners. With these innovations, Apple Music is positioning itself as a leader in personalized music experiences, setting the stage for an exciting year ahead in the world of music streaming.

Apple Music is getting ahead of Spotify Wrapped with the
launch of its yearly recaps
. This year’s Apple Music Replay is available natively within the app and comes packed with even more listening stats, allowing you to review all the new artists you listened to, which ones you kept returning to, and who made a comeback in your playlist.
It also highlights your most-listened-to songs, how many artists you listened to, your favorite genres, and how much time you spent listening to music on the app. There’s a shareable highlight reel as well, which you can post to apps like Instagram and TikTok.

all
your listening stats, but it’s always fun to see how your taste has evolved throughout the year.
The season for yearly music recaps is in full swing, with
YouTube Music launching its 2025 listening stats
