Apple Music on Thursday rolled out Replay '25, its annual personalised listening experience, offering users a more detailed look into their year in music. The latest edition brings expanded insights into listening habits, discovery patterns, loyalty trends and genre preferences — all of which are now integrated directly into the Apple Music app for the first time.
Alongside Replay '25, Apple Music and Shazam also released their 2025 Year-End Charts, with ROSÉ & Bruno Mars' global hit "APT." emerging as the year's most influential track across multiple platforms. The song clinched No. 1 on Top Songs of 2025: Global, Top 100: Shazam, Top 100: Global Radio, and Top 100: Lyrics.
Personal replay experience
Replay '25 gives listeners a comprehensive overview of their musical year, expanding on long-standing features like, total minutes streamed, total artists listened to, longest artist streak and top genres, albums and songs. Additionally, new emphasis has been placed on behaviour-focused insights such as:
- Discovery: new artists listeners found this year
- Loyalty: long-term favourite artists
- Comebacks: artists returning to a user's rotation
The experience is now fully accessible from the Home tab in the Apple Music app.
