Apple Music fans, are you ready to be roasted or applauded for your listening habits this year?
Similar to Spotify’s end-of-year Wrapped feature, Apple Music Replay compiles users’ listening data for the year, including top songs, artists, albums and total minutes listened.
Apple Music Replay, unlike Spotify Wrapped, updates weekly throughout the year. However, the platform will soon release a more personalized Highlights summary, which users can share to social media by tapping on the share icon in the bottom-right corner of the app.
But when does Apple Music Replay’s Highlights summary drop on the streaming platform? Here’s what you should know about Apple Music Replay 2025.
When does Apple Music Replay 2025 come out?
The platform has yet to announce when it plans to release the Apple Music Replay 2025 Highlights feature. However, in past years, the feature has usually dropped in late-November or early-December, Parade reports.
In 2024, Apple Music Replay was released on Dec. 3, a day before Spotify.
What is Apple Music Replay?
In 2022, Apple Music announced its version of Spotify’s end-of-year campaign called Apple Music Replay. Apple’s feature includes much of the same listening data as Spotify’s, including a user’s top songs, top albums, top artists and top genres from throughout the year.
However, Apple Music Replay functions a bit differently from Spotify Wrapped. It doesn’t just release a yearly summary in November or December; it also releases monthly Replay experiences, highlighting a user’s listening habits at the end of each month.
How to see your Apple Music Replay
Apple Music Replay can be accessed by going to the Apple Music Replay website on your device. Just sign in to the same Apple Account that is linked to your Apple Music subscription and voila!
Apple Music users can also access their Replay through the app. Go to the Home tab, scroll down to “Replay: Your Top Music” and tap “Go back in time” to open your listening stats, the streaming platform’s website states.
Who is Apple Music’s Artist of the Year for 2025?
Tyler, The Creator was named Apple Music’s Artist of the Year in 2025 due to his “outstanding impact on both music and culture,” per Apple.
When does Apple Music Replay stop counting?
Apple Music never stops counting. Instead, it tracks users’ listening data throughout the year and releases monthly Replay experiences, highlighting a user’s listening habits at the end of each month.
When does Spotify Wrapped come out?
Spotify has yet to announce a release date for its 2025 Wrapped feature. However, USA TODAY reports that Spotify has bumped up its release date in recent years, and could drop its 2025 Wrapped in November or early December.
