Apple Music Replay 2025 is officially live, revealing this year’s global charts and giving subscribers their personalised listening summaries. The No. 1 song on Apple Music is Rosé and Bruno Mars’ hit “APT.”, which has held momentum since its release last year.

Rosé and Bruno Mars lead Apple Music’s year-end charts

Listeners had been waiting for the Apple Music Replay 2025 charts, which often rival Spotify Wrapped for end-of-year music buzz. Apple Music confirmed that “APT.” marks both artists’ first No. 1 on its global year-end songs list.

The track also topped several other Replay charts, including Shazam Global Global Radio Spins, the Top 100: Global Radio list and the platform’s most-read lyrics chart.

Kendrick Lamar and SZA’s “Luther” took second place, followed by “Die With a Smile”, the collaboration between Bruno Mars and Lady Gaga. Lamar appears again at No. 4 with “Not Like Us”, while Billie Eilish rounds out the Top 5 with “Birds of a Feather”.

Apple reported strong engagement for Lamar’s album GNX, which placed five tracks in the Top 25. Of the 100 songs featured, 36 were by women, and seven of the Top 10 were woman-led or featured a female artist.
