Yay for including sleep music once again :/

Also, how is it possible I played this album 1620 times? Even if I played it every night (which I most certainly didn't), that's still only 333 nights so far this year. The album is 8 hours long!
I think it's 1620 track plays on that album. Mine is 1292 plays for my top album, which wouldn't really be possible, as the album came out on 10/21/22.
 
Cool, but it's a bit weird that they aren't properly integrating this information into either the iOS or macOS apps... makes it feel tacked on, which doesn't feel great. Still, I'd rather have the info than not!
I thought maybe that was on purpose to make it easier to share with friends online who might not be Apple Music subscribers, but when I use the share button, it just shares a graphic of the section I'm currently looking at, which they totally could have done from the app. I guess this is still a step in the right direction though.

I have used Apple Music basically daily since launch. It still only shows one playlist for 2015. It tells me to “start listening to music” to generate a current list.

Then what am I doing every day?

What prohibits Apple Music to gather this data?
Do you have "Use listening history" turned off in the Settings app for Music? This is on iOS, not sure how it works on other devices.

Glad I'm not the only one this happened to. Except for me, the album was Manofon, by David Sylvian. Drowns out all my other listens, and totally distorts the results. Even tho I am asleep 80 of the time it's on.
 
I don’t know what’s going on, but my Rewind is completely wrong. It doesn’t even match the weekly updated Rewind (which is also wrong). It either doesn’t link in with HomePod and count those listens or something else is off. Apple Music, much like Apple Books and Podcasts and Calendar, is a disaster. If Musk does develop a new ecosystem, I’m ready to jump honestly.

I am having the same issue but mine is a random album I have never heard of.

Because it counts how many times you have played any of the songs on the album. If it has 10 songs and you have listened to the whole album once, it will display 10 plays.
 
I listened to mine this morning. I have mixed feelings about this. I don't really find listening to music telling a story of the year, even though my top song is still going to be my top song by the end of the year. On the other hand it's good for nostalgia. I appreciate Apple Music trying to do end of the year stuff, even though I think they can take it further. I would love something to do with most listened to playlists, or maybe even have more interactive stats.
 
A poor substitute for Spotify. Uglier, less fun and badly made. I use Apple Music, but the UI and the whole music discovery experience is extremely poor.
I prefer Apple Music over Spotify because it’s actually easier to manage a library on Apple Music, not to mention you can buy a song (from iTunes), or add it to your library from other sources if it’s not available for streaming. Spotify is great for streaming pre-made playlists, but that’s about it. Actually adding music to your library is a chore — you have to add an album, an artist, and individual songs to your library just to have the songs from an album show up in every view in your library. On Apple Music, if I add a song to my library, let’s say “Rich Flex” by Drake and 21 Savage, the song will be listed under Songs, the album it’s from (Her Loss) will be listed under Albums, and the artist(s) will be listed under Artists. It’s just too many steps on Spotify.

Also my top album, my top song. If I remember correctly I listened to this album last year, not this past year. I don’t know where these play counts are coming from.

Yes when the feature first launched I double checked this box and it was already on.

I remember in the beginning many people were reporting same issues as me. Was hoping it would be fixed some day. 2015 playlist came in two years back out of nowhere. Now the rest needs to follow?
 
Pretty fun. I wound up as a “Top 100 Listener“ for a couple techno artists that I would have had no idea otherwise. I have to assume these aren’t big guys.
 
Well, turns out that sometime early in the year the homepod settings reset to track all listening history and now my replay consists of songs we leave on for the dog when we are not at home. What a mess - i assume no way to fix this to get a more accurate view of 2022.
 
The Sleep playlist problem kills another year for me as well.

It'd be super nice if I could just go into Apple Music and right click some albums and remove them from my history. The actual history view that lets you touch some of this stuff is absolute crap on Apple Music.

I do not say that functionally Apple Music is bad, I say that UI is colorless, sad, cold. In Spotify, discovering new artists was a pleasure and fun for long hours. There is chaos in AM, although I appreciate the radio.
 
Yet I could never find many of my songs on Spotify but I could on Apple Music…
Maybe you didn't read what I said.

"In this regard", which is in relation to the subject being discussed. The "Replay" vs "Wrapped". Which, Spotify does in fact, **** all over AM.

Regarding what you said, which has nothing to do with the subject title, yes, AM is much better.
