Description:
Apple Music Replay 2025 has arrived for subscribers, offering a polished, numbers-focused year-in-review that highlights your top artists, tracks, albums, genres, and playlists.

FULL STORY ======================================================================Apple Music Replay 2025 has landed before Spotify Wrapped Any subscriber can access it in the Music app or on the web It'll highlight top tracks, top artists,
and genres as a start

Rather than following in the footsteps of Spotify Wrapped , Apple Music is getting ahead with its annual Replay. It is, of course, the Cupertino-based tech giants take on the classic sharing of stats for all the tunes youve listened to this year, your top artists, and some stats that will likely surprise you and maybe catch some eyes.

While Spotify Wrapped is generally seen as the gold standard, albeit with
some missteps, Apple Music Replay 2025 really hits the basics, with some
extra stats thrown in. You can also easily access the Replay experience via the Music app on iOS, iPadOS, macOS, or even on the web.

I was greeted to it, front and center, in the top row of the Music app on my iPhone, and I especially love the moving gradient of colors that Replay: Your music story is here. is set against.

From there, youre transported to a simple Replay interface that invites you
to start with a highlight reel and then scroll down for your top artists, tracks, albums, playlists, and genres of 2025. You can also dive further back into previous years or see 2025 month by month.

Apple Musics approach with the highlight reel doesnt assign you a music genre or personality type; rather, it sticks to the numbers. The first slide runs through the main stats with album covers flying through, and total listening time before taking you into the artist youve been most loyal to shocker, thats Bruce Springsteen for me . Itll then run through top tracks, top
albums, and even genres month by month before inviting you to share it to Instagram for Stories or Reels, as well as TikTok. (Image credit: Future/Apple)

The biggest change from previous years, though, is that you can now get more actionable, insightful trends from the month. Of course, you can also dive right into your Replay playlist for your top songs. It also fits into Apple Musics monthly recaps , which it has offered for a bit something Id like to see Spotify copy at some point, but Last.fm will make do for that.

Of course, if you have a setup like mine, where youre spread across different music streaming services Apple Music, Spotify , and Nugs are mine one service doesnt necessarily paint the entire picture. And Apple Music doesnt
do the best job of integrating iTunes Match picks either, but while its not a massive redesign, theres no doubting that Apple Music Replay 2025 hits the classic notes with some updated theming.

Even with the polish around Apple Musics year-end recap, its safe to say were curious how Spotify might raise the bar with Wrapped 2025. Yes, we can all assume well get traits based on the music we listen to, a personality genre delivered as a character, and maybe even a short video recording from our top artist or artists. Spotify even offered an AI-generated podcast last year
that unpacked each users Wrapped; well see if that sticks around for 2025.

I think its safe to say it will certainly be a bit more flashy, ready with memes, and all over social platforms soon enough.
