If you stream on Apple Music, December marks the most exciting time of the year. While the hype around Spotify’s Wrapped might be dominating current conversations, Apple’s version — Apple Replay — tends to arrive with less fanfare, but just as much anticipation. So, when exactly will your 2025 stats arrive? Everything we know about Apple Replay 2025, below.
What is Apple Music Replay (and how is it different from Spotify Wrapped)?
Apple Music Replay is the platform’s annual recap offering. It gives those who listen to music with Apple a chance to look back on their top songs, albums, artists, genres and total listening time across the year.
Unlike Spotify Wrapped, Replay works in the background all year. A playlist is updated regularly with your top 100 songs, and when the year ends, you get a full summary. Replay also ties all your listening back to actual data, giving you insight into not just your top songs but how much time you spent listening, what artists dominated your year, and how your tastes shifted across months.
So, when will Apple Replay drop in 2025?
Apple hasn’t confirmed a 2025 release date yet, but past rollouts give us some clues.
In 2024, Replay became available in the first days of December, landing on 3 December. The year before that, the annual summary surfaced a little earlier, appearing toward the end of November.
If the pattern tells us anything, the 2025 edition could be here as early as this week — so keep an eye on your app as December continues.
How to find your Apple Replay — and how to share it
Once Replay goes live, checking it is straightforward. Just open the Apple Music app on your iPhone, iPad or Mac and head to the Home or Listen Now tab. As you scroll, you should see a section labelled “Replay: Your Top Music.” This is where your personalised roundup lives.
Inside, you’ll be able to explore your top 100 songs of the year, along with your most-played artists, albums, genres and your total listening time. Apple usually includes a highlight-style summary too, which you can save or share directly to socials.
If Replay isn’t showing up yet, a couple of things might be happening:
- You might not have streamed enough music for Apple to generate stats; or
- Your listening history isn’t being tracked. You can fix that by turning on ‘Use Listening History’ in your device’s Music settings.
