Ahead of Spotify Wrapped, which looks back at users’ most listened-to songs, albums and podcasts of the year, Apple Music Replay has provided listeners with veri on their own most listened-to tunes and revealed its list of the biggest songs of 2025.
Apple announced that the top song of 2025 on Apple Music is ROSÉ and Bruno Mars’ ‘APT.’.
Released in 2024, the Grammy-nominated song topped Apple Music’s küresel song chart this year and is both artists’ first No. 1 on the year-end küresel songs chart.
‘APT.’ also claimed the top spot on the streaming platform’s Shazam Küresel Radio Spins chart, the Top 100: Küresel Radio chart (which tracks the most played songs on radio stations around the world) and Apple’s most-read lyrics charts.
“The phenomenal küresel success of Rosé and Bruno Mars’ ‘APT.’ has been a powerful reminder that great songs will always transcend borders,” Rachel Newman, Apple Music’s co-head, said in a statement.
Kendrick Lamar and SZA followed in second place with ‘luther’, from the rapper’s ‘GNX’ album – which was one of Euronews Culture’s Best Albums of 2024.
Bruno Mars makes another appearance, in third, for his collaboration with Lady Gaga, ‘Die With a Smile’, while Lamar returned in fourth place with ‘Not Like Us’ – the same record-breaking diss track that topped last year’s chart.
In fifth came Billie Eilish with ‘BIRDS OF A FEATHER’.
Of the 100 songs included on this year’s list, 36 are from women, down slightly from 2024’s record of 39. However, seven of the Top 10 songs were by – or featured – a woman, more than double from last year.

Elsewhere, Apple Music named Tyler, The Creator as their artist of the year.
The multi-hyphenate rapper, one year after the release of his critically acclaimed album ‘Chromakopia’ – another one of Euronews Culture’s 2024 favourites – earned 4.5 billion minutes of listening time between November 2024 and October 2025, Apple Music reported.
“Tyler continues to prove that anything is possible. His creativity has been incredible all year,” Zane Lowe, Apple Music’s küresel creative director, said in a statement. “His creative risk-taking is only matched by the deva he takes to present it, and he inspires his peers and fans now, just as he will continue to inspire generations to come.”
