Apple and Amazon Debut Musical Year-End Recaps While You Wait for Spotify Wrapped

Apple’s Music Replay 2025 and Amazon’s 2025 Delivered examine your listening habits for the year.

Spotify has yet to release its 2025 edition of its popular Wrapped year-in-review feature (last year it debuted on Dec. 4), but Apple Music and Amazon Music are here to fill the void with their own versions of the year-end recap (if you use those services).

Apple Music Replay is now live and puts together a playlist of your most-listened to songs as well as shareable videos and images. You’ll be able to see your top artists, amount of time you listened to Apple Music songs and genres.

Don’t miss any of our unbiased tech content and lab-based reviews. Add CNET as a preferred Google source.

Similarly, Amazon’s 2025 Delivered feature tracks what you listened to across music, podcasts and audiobooks, but this year Amazon’s theme is a music festival, with some of your listening habits presented as badges. It will also generate a festival poster with artists from your listening history.

Even YouTube is getting into the act with a recap of what you watched in 2025.

Both Apple Music Replay and Amazon 2025 Delivered are available in their respective apps.
