Tyler, The Creator was announced today as Apple Music\u2019s Artist of the Year, recognizing the hip-hop visionary\u2019s outstanding impact on both music and culture in 2025.\n<\/p>\n
Tyler\u2019s output through the end of 2025 reinforced his position as one of the most gifted creatives of his era. Across Apple Music, Tyler had his best year ever in terms of worldwide plays, listeners, and hours listened, with fans around the world logging more than 4.5 billion minutes of listening time between November 2024 and October 2025.\n<\/p>\n
Tyler began the year with his most ambitious and successful tour in support of his most personal album to date \u2014 the just-released CHROMAKOPIA<\/em>. That extraordinary feat in world-building and character exploration became his most successful album ever on Apple Music by first-day and first-week plays. But he wasn\u2019t done creating. He wrote, recorded, and released another album mid-tour: DON\u2019T TAP THE GLASS<\/em>, a brief yet satisfying blast of urgent, stripped-down rap that\u2019s wildly different from its predecessor, and shot to No. 1 on Apple Music\u2019s overall charts in more than 55 countries the day it was released.\n<\/p>\nThese singularly vivid and wildly divergent visions of hip-hop come from a generational artist at his most fearless \u2014 all within the span of a year that included headlining slots at Governors Ball, Lollapalooza, Outside Lands, and Osheaga. The year will also see the 11th edition of L.A.\u2019s own Camp Flog Gnaw \u2014 the festival Tyler built himself.\n<\/p>\n
\u201cTyler continues to prove that anything is possible. His creativity has been incredible all year,\u201d said Zane Lowe, Apple Music\u2019s global creative director and lead anchor for Apple Music 1. \u201cHis creative risk-taking is only matched by the care he takes to present it, and he inspires his peers and fans now, just as he will continue to inspire generations to come.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
\u201cTo everyone who listens to my music, thank you,\u201d said Tyler. \u201cI appreciate you so much. This year, for my career, was the biggest so far. To be this year\u2019s Apple Music Artist of the Year, it\u2019s 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.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
To cap it off, Tyler\u2019s vision and cultural imprint extend far beyond music. He will soon make his feature-film debut in Marty Supreme<\/em>, the Josh Safdie-directed period drama starring Timoth\u00e9e Chalamet, and he closes out 2025 with five new GRAMMY nominations for both CHROMAKOPIA<\/em> and DON\u2019T TAP THE GLASS<\/em>.\n<\/p>\nAs Apple Music\u2019s Artist of the Year, Tyler will receive a physical award that represents the extraordinary craftsmanship integral to creating music. Each Apple Music Award features Apple\u2019s custom silicon wafer suspended between a polished sheet of glass, and a machined and anodized aluminum body. In a symbolic gesture, the same chip powering the devices that put over 100 million songs at listeners\u2019 fingertips also sits at the very heart of the Apple Music Awards.\n<\/p>\n
Celebrate Tyler\u2019s Artist of the Year appointment with a
special selection of playlists<\/a> dedicated to the songs and voices that have shaped the last 12 months. And users that have Tyler, The Creator in their recent Shazam history can keep an eye out for a special message from the artist on their Home Screen.\n<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tyler, The Creator was announced today as Apple Music\u2019s Artist of the Year, recognizing the hip-hop visionary\u2019s outstanding impact on both music and culture in 2025.
