Apple Music’s 2025 Year-End Charts
As 2025 comes to a close, Apple Music is celebrating the year’s biggest songs by Apple Music streams, Shazam counts, radio spins, read lyrics and more.
The past year saw new music from some of the continent’s biggest stars including Burna Boy, Davido, Asake, DJ Maphorisa, Kabza De Small, Black Sherif and MOLIY. From Afrobeats to Amapiano through to 3 Step, Bongo Flava and more, the Africa to the World narrative continued with African music dominating the charts, dancefloors and festivals around the world. From Nigeria’s Rema, Ayra Starr & Burna Boy through to South African superstars Tyla and DJ Maphorisa, as well as Ghana’s finest including Stonebwoy and Black Sherif and rising East African artists like Joshua Baraka and Phina. From Joburg to Lagos, from Nairobi to Accra, Apple Music captured the heartbeat of Africa in 2025
Whether they were releasing new albums, performing at the Apple Music Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show, or dominating playlists and airwaves alike, TDE labelmates Kendrick Lamar and SZA have been as busy as ever over the last 12 months. That hard work has paid off, especially on the Top Songs of 2025: Global chart, where Kendrick ends the year with five songs in the Top 25—more than any other artist—and SZA is close behind with three songs. On top of that, some of the pair’s biggest success came from working together, with their collabs on “luther” (No. 2) and “30 For 30” (No. 10) reaching the upper echelons of our Top Songs chart.
Following her star-making collab with Tyler, The Creator on “Like Him,” Lola Young went on a hot streak in 2025 as “Messy” caught fire around the world, ending the year at No. 2 on the Top 100: Shazam chart, No. 3 on the Top 100: Global Radio chart, and No. 27 on Top Songs of 2025: Global. On the UK charts, Lola ended the year as the highest-ranking UK artist, finishing the year at No. 4.
It’s impressive enough that the KPop Demon Hunters hit “Golden” ends the year at No. 15 on the Top Songs of 2025: Global chart. But reaching No. 4 on both the Top 100: Lyrics and Top 100: Sing charts truly underscores the song’s—and the soundtrack’s—cultural impact in 2025. Featuring a who’s who of talent in the songwriting and production credits, including EJAE, Mark Sonnenblick, and Teddy, the song spent 70 consecutive days at No. 1 on the Daily Top 100—the most total days any song spent in the top spot this year—before it was dethroned by Taylor Swift’s “The Fate of Ophelia.”
