Apple'S Replay 2025: Rosé And Bruno Mars Reign Supreme

Rosé and Bruno Mars Dominate Apple Music's 2025 Charts

When it comes to making chart-topping hits, Rosé and Bruno Mars have proven they have the secret formula. Their hit single “APT.” has not only captivated audiences but also claimed the top spot on Apple Music's global song chart for 2025. This track, first released in 2024, continues to enchant listeners worldwide and has earned each artist their first No. 1 hit on this prestigious chart.

Following closely behind, Kendrick Lamar and SZA's “Luther” secured the second spot, while Mars also snagged the third with "Die With a Smile," his collaboration with Lady Gaga. Kendrick Lamar proves his musical prowess again with "Not Like Us" in fourth, and the eclectic Billie Eilish rounds out the top five with “Birds of a Feather.” It's a testament to the powerful influence these artists hold over their global audiences.

“The phenomenal global 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, stated.

The Year of 'APT.' and Female Artists

“APT.” not only ruled the global song chart but also swept other Apple Music lists, topping the Shazam Global Radio Spins and the Top 100: Global Radio charts. Additionally, it was the most-read lyrics on Apple’s charts, solidifying its status as a fan favorite worldwide. The success of this song highlights a year where women made significant strides in music, with seven of the Top 10 songs featuring female artists.

Kendrick Lamar also left his mark with his album “GNX,” which not only engaged listeners but also placed five songs in the Top 25. Meanwhile, the list of 100 songs saw 36 contributions from female artists, a slight dip from last year, though they continue to shine brightly in the industry.
