What is Apple Music Replay 2025?

Replay is Apple Music’s annual listening summary that captures your musical journey from January to December. Replay 2025 reveals:

• Your top 10 artists
• Your top 10 songs
• Your top 10 albums
• Total minutes listened
• Music milestones, such as new artists discovered

Eligibility Requirements for Apple Music Replay 2025

To receive your Replay 2025 recap, Apple requires a few conditions to be met:

• Active Apple Music Subscription: Like almost every Apple Music feature, Replay is exclusive to subscribers. Check if you’re signed in with the same Apple Account you used the entire year for streaming.
• Minimum Listening Threshold: While Apple is yet to publish an exact number, you must stream enough music throughout the year for Replay to generate meaningful stats. If you haven’t, the Replay 2025 card might simply not show up.
• Listening History Must Be Enabled: Even if you cross the minimum listening threshold, the Replay 2025 won’t appear if the Listening History is disabled. To enable it, go to Settings → Apps → Music → toggle on Listening History.
• Consistent Apple ID: Plays count only if you are logged in with the same Apple ID across devices. Switching between multiple accounts can fragment your Replay data.
• Regional Availability: Since Replay is available in every country where Apple Music operates, most users worldwide will receive the 2025 recap.
