CUPERTINO, CA – November 20, 2025 – Apple Music has announced Tyler, The Creator as its Artist of the Year for 2025, celebrating a monumental year for the hip-hop innovator. Tyler’s musical output and cultural influence have resonated with audiences worldwide, resulting in record-breaking engagement on the streaming platform.

Between November 2024 and October 2025, fans streamed Tyler’s music for over 4.5 billion minutes on Apple Music, marking his best year yet.

“Tyler continues to prove that anything is possible. His creativity has been incredible all year,” said Zane Lowe, Apple Music’s global creative director and lead anchor for Apple Music 1.

In addition to his album releases, Tyler headlined major festivals, including Governors Ball, Lollapalooza, and Outside Lands. He is also set to host the 11th edition of his annual Camp Flog Gnaw festival in Los Angeles.

“To everyone who listens to my music, thank you,” Tyler said. “This year, for my career, was the biggest so far. To be this year’s Apple Music Artist of the Year, it’s sick.”
