Apple Music has 60 million songs, but there is only a handful that we repeatedly listen to and love. So it’s handy to quickly see your top played songs on Apple Music on iPhone and Mac.
In fact, the Music app on iPhone automatically makes a playlist of the 25 tracks you listen to most often. So if you’re curious to find your top played songs on Apple Music, let’s get going. But first, I thought you might have a few questions:
Do you need an Apple Music subscription to see your Top 25 Most Played Songs?
No. You do not.
Does Top 25 Played playlist show songs ripped from CD or elsewhere?
Yes. This playlist shows twenty-five songs you have played the maximum times, irrespective of where you got it from.
Is 25 Most Played Songs playlist the same as Apple Music Replay?
No. Apple Music Replay is somewhat similar to Spotify’s Wrapped.
Since the doubts are clear, let’s check out the ways!
How to Find Top 25 Most Played Songs on Apple Music on iPhone
- Open the Music app on your iPhone and make sure you are in the Library tab
- Tap on Playlists.
- Scroll down, and you will see a playlist titled Top 25 Most Played. Tap on it.
- Here are 25 songs that you have listened to the maximum number of times.
You can use this playlist to listen to your loved songs over and over. You can also ask Siri to ‘play my top 25 most played songs.‘
Note: If you do not use the Music app much, you won’t see this playlist.
How to See your Apple Music Most Played Songs on Mac
- If you use Apple Music on Android or Apple TV, the procedure is the same as iPhone
- For, Mac you will see a playlist named Top 25 Most Played in the left sidebar of Music app. You may also click on Songs from the left sidebar and then click on Plays from the thin top bar
- For Windows PC, the process is similar to Mac. Just, instead of Music app you have to look for this playlist in iTunes
What is the Difference between Top 25 Most Played Playlist and Apple Music Replay
Apple Music subscription is a must for Replay. You can see your top songs, playlists, and insights in Replay, which is updated every Sunday. It has a rank wise list of the top 100 songs from your library that you have played the most.
Just like regular playlists, you can save, download, and share this playlist. Finally, you can even see Replay for the year 2015 and onwards.
Wrapping up…

My top 25 songs never show up on my phone. I have been using apple music for a year now and want to know my top 25 songs and I tried fixing this through my PC. There, the top 25 songs are those that have been played on my PC, not on my entire music library. Can I see my truly most played songs? from AppleMusic
I just noticed my friend has a Top 25 Most Played playlist, and now I’m curious. I have the 2020 Replay playlist, but not a current list.
I exclusively use Apple Music and don’t think I even have an ITunes connected to this account.
Any advice on how to find it? A quick google search says it should be in my playlists already, but it is not there.
Thanks.

I accidentally deleted the music out of my top 25 most played and recently played playlists on Apple Music and now they aren’t updating. I was wondering if there is a way to get these playlists back? Thanks in advance!

Hi, Jharveyy.
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities. We’re glad you decided to reach out about your deleted playlists. If we understand correctly, you removed the smart playlists for Recently Played and Top 25 Most Played on your iOS device. Do you use iTunes or Music on a computer to manage the same Apple Music account? If you do, try recreating the playlists as outlined in the User Tip here:
Restore Original Smart Playlists - Apple Community
If not, you may be able to restore the playlists by restoring a backup that was created before you removed them. Apple Music is a syncing process, so if you're syncing with other devices this may not work unless your playlists were downloaded on your device.
All our best.

Hi, I'm an iPhone/Apple Music user. I've been using the Apple Music service for a while now, and the top 25 most played playlist provided automatically doesn't seem to be updating. I'd like to know if there's a way to update this list and make it update itself on a regular basis. FYI, I don't use other Apple devices or iTunes. Thanks in advance!
