Apple Music has rolled out its highly anticipated ‘Replay ’25,’ offering users a polished look at their most-streamed artists and songs of the year — and, unsurprisingly, Drake leads the pack.
The rapper’s continued dominance is fueled by his collaborative project ‘$ome $exy $ongs 4 U’ with PartyNextDoor, which delivered streaming favorites such as ‘Nokia’ and ‘Somebody Loves Me,’ along with the boost from a successful tour.
Drake kept the energy going with a series of chilling pre-album singles ahead of his forthcoming release, ‘Iceman.’ These tracks, featuring collaborations with Central Cee, Yeat, and Julia Wolf, strengthened his presence on the charts. His interactive livestreams also played a major role, generating real-time excitement with every new drop.
Beyond Drake’s takeover, ‘Replay ’25’ highlights other standout moments of the year. Kendrick Lamar and SZA’s ‘Luther’ continues to resonate with fans, while major hits from Morgan Wallen, Lady Gaga, The Weeknd, and Lil Baby round out the U.S. list.
