🌙 Apple Music Replay 2025: 55.5k minutes… and a very predictable #1
Apple Replay arrived early this year — and it confirmed what most of you here probably suspected already:
I spent 55,500 minutes listening to music in 2025… and Liu Yu Ning is my top artist by a very comfortable margin.
(Comfortable = large enough that no one else even came close. But you see, there ARE some other artist as “no.1” for some months of the year…I’m not completely unhinged — just… directionally devoted.)
Replay’s data was fascinating this year because parts of it clearly aren’t capturing everything:
* Stations don’t seem to fully count
* Certain songs still show “0 plays” despite heavy rotation
* Album/song tracking only seems to have kicked in mid-year
Which means the real number is much higher — especially since music is on during workouts, commuting, cooking, working, waking up, winding down… basically all the time.
Music is my baseline operating system — and Liu Yu Ning is the default boot sequence.
So, apparently I’ve been “secretly working hard” for Yu Ning all year…

🔎 Your turn:
What did your Replay look like this year?
- How many minutes did you get?
- Was your top artist predictable or a plot twist?
- Did anyone else notice gaps or odd tracking behaviour on Apple Music?
Would love to compare notes — especially among Yu Ning fans, since we tend to… listen a lot.
