Apple Music users have access to the Replay feature but now Apple has collected all your stats with an annual summary of your entire year of streaming. This time, you’ll be able to view the full Replay experience via the home, new, and search tabs in the Apple Music app. You must be on iOS 18.1 or later to see it there. In previous years, you had to go to the microsite to get the Replay drop, though that’s still an option .
As always, you can save a playlist of your most played songs in 2024, although this and your stats will be finalized in January. Also, if you missed them or want to compare, you can still access your Replays from previous years (not offered by Spotify Wrapped).
Along with the usual details about your top artists, songs, albums, genres and playlists, as well as the total number of minutes you’ve been listening to Apple Music, there are some new features this year. You’ll now see if you’re in the top 500 or 1000 listeners of an artist, up from the top 100 limit from previous years. You can check the longest streak of consecutive days you’ve streamed from Apple Music. You can view your best song, artist and album by month. You’ll also see the first date you listened to the best artist, song and album of the year.
For the first time, artists have access to their own version of Replay. Through the dashboard, they can see the total number of minutes subscribers have been listening to their music, total listeners, top cities, and the most played song.
Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” was the most streamed song on Apple Music overall this year. And Benson Boone’s “Beautiful Things” was the most recognized song on Shazam.
For what it’s worth, I’ve had 55,265 minutes of Apple Music listening time so far this year. No wonder Chappell Roan is my top artist and “Pink Pony Club” is my most listened to song. My other top three artists are Charlotte Cardin (who needs because she’s fantastic) and Queens of the Stone Age. I won’t mention who finished fourth or the fact that his Eras Tour ends this weekend.
