Apple Music Replay turns your year of streams into a personal soundtrack summary, pulling together the tracks, artists, and albums you spun most.

Each December, subscribers get this end-of-year wrap-up, complete with play counts, listening time, and a ready-to-play playlist of your biggest hits.

For 2025, the feature rolled out on December 2, building on years of tweaks to make it a go-to for music fans tracking their habits.

This recap pulls from data Apple as it starts gathering in February, focusing on total minutes listened and repeat plays, then by late November, the system crunches everything into your full Replay report.

If you stream enough, you qualify for the full breakdown; otherwise, it might show a nudge to listen more.

The result? A clear picture of your audio year, from monthly peaks to all-time favorites.
