As part of its 10-year celebrations of Apple Music, Apple today released an all-new personalized playlist that collates your entire listening history.

The playlist, called "Replay All Time," expands on Apple Music's existing Replay features. Previously, users could only see their top songs for each individual calendar year that they've been subscribed to Apple Music, but now, Replay All Time shows a comprehensive list of the top 100 songs across all subscriber years. Since Apple Music has now been available for a decade, long-standing Apple Music subscribers will be able to get a picture of their long-term listening habits for the first time.

Replay All Time appears in the Apple Music Home tab and will continue to be updated dynamically updated based on the user's full listening history.

I really like this feature. Has been an excellent playlist creation and reference tool.
 
Something seems off here. My playlist is almost exclusively populated with songs I don‘t know or listen to. Maybe the algorithm will sort itself out over time.

I hope it’s an improvement on the existing algorithm. Mine has been permanently infected with classical music which on its own is fine but iOS curating a playlist that goes from Hendrix to Handel is problematic
there's not much I miss from Spotify, but their Daily Mixes 1-5 were spot on: I know I don't listen to just one type of music, the idea that just hitting "My" Radio Station in Apple Music is going to get it right can be very hit and miss. Sometimes I want classical, jazz other times I want punk!
 
apple music's algo is so bad. the personalized stations/playlists are the same 14-15 songs over and over. as much as i hate google, ive been really enjoying youtube music it consantly gives you fresh songs. The reason for this , of course, is that they leverage the terabytes of data they have on you to guess which songs you might like
 
Very nice. Will check out what is in my list soon. Have been using the music app for a long time.

Same thing even when you shuffle a playlist. I have a summer playlist that has over 350 songs. It always starts by shuffling the same 10-15 songs in the beginning. Terrible algorithm.

It's a nice little thing. Unfortunately, after the last android update my folders got all screwed up and now I had to get rid of them. I wish organizing playlists was simpler because I have a lot of playlists, but Apple Music on Android Auto isn't entirely intuitive. Despite that, I wouldn't go back to Spotify because that user interface is not great, especially when wanting to have an entire library together which includes Local Files.

I have set up various smart playlists to do this and other similar lists.

My listening history should go back to the early 2000s when I started using iTunes, but I never checked to see when it started recording listens, skips, ratings etc.
