Tyler, the Creator has officially cemented his status as a cultural powerhouse, snagging the coveted title of Apple Music Artist of the Year for 2025.

The award isn’t just symbolic; it’s backed by jaw-dropping numbers, over 4.5 billion minutes of global listening between November 2024 and October 2025, a record-setting feat on the platform.

Tyler’s win comes after a year of bold creativity, from his world-dominating tour behind ‘CHROMAKOPIA,’ to the surprise mid-tour drop ‘Don’t Tap The Glass’ that soared to No. 1 in over 55 countries. When asked about the plaque, he kept it real, telling Apple Music:

“To everyone who listens to my music, thank you, I appreciate you so much. This year, for my career, was the biggest so far. To be this year’s Apple Music Artist of the Year, it’s sick. I appreciate the love. I appreciate the recognition. It means a lot to me, especially for the music and things that I make. Please keep supporting folks who are a bit out of the box for how they do things; it means a lot to us.”

This accolade isn’t just a win for Tyler; it’s a statement that creativity pays off.
