Apple has launched Apple Music Replay for 2024, giving subscribers early access to their personalized music listening statistics and trends for the year.

iPhone users on iOS 18.1 or later can now access the Replay 2024 experience directly in the Apple Music app, from the Home, New, and Search tabs. Users with previous iOS versions can still access the experience at replay.music.apple.com.

Apple already offered monthly replays since February, but now users can view their stats for the full year.

Expanded listening insights in Replay 2024 include:

  • Top 100, 500, 1000 Listeners: Expanding the Top 100 listener insight from previous years, listeners can now also discover whether they've made it in to the Top 500 or Top 1000 listeners of any of their favorite artists or genres.
  • Listening Streaks: Now users can learn the longest consecutive number of days they’ve played from Apple Music.
  • Replay By Month: Relive your year through the months, with your #1 songs, artists, and albums from each month of 2024.
  • Top Artist Streak: Based on their most-played music of each month, users can now discover if they're a loyal fan with the top artist streak - available to users if they've had an artist as their #1 artist of the month for multiple consecutive months.
    Date of First Play: Fans can find out the date they first listened to their top song, artist, and album this year.

Apple Music Replay generates a Highlight Reel featuring animated cards showcasing your top artists, songs, albums, and genres for 2024 so far. You can also discover if they rank among an artist's top fans with percentage-based "super-fan" designations, providing insight into how you compare to other listeners globally. The cards are accompanied by background music relevant to each statistical highlight.

Apple Music Replay shows precise timestamps for when users reached significant listening milestones throughout the year. The service also provides year-over-year comparisons, allowing subscribers to see how their music preferences have evolved since 2023.

Starting this year, the Replay experience is also available in the Apple Music for Artists app and dashboard. All qualifying artists with an Apple Music for Artists account can access their Replay insights, including the total number of minutes Apple Music subscribers have listened to their music in 2024, the cities that listen to their music the most, their song discovered the most via Shazam this year, and more.

Apple Music has also shared year-end charts, including the Top Songs of 2024: Global, the Top 100: Shazam, the Most-Read Lyrics, Top 100: Sing and the first-ever Shazam Global Radio Spins chart.

Kendrick Lamar's "Not Like Us" was the top song on Apple Music worldwide this year.

I'm guessing this will update if I open it in late December/Early January? GNX album is creeping up in the play counts.
 
This year it really rocks! Love the way you can share it like an image or a cool video with the right size for IG stories.
 
This is great, love the inclusion of audio in relation to the artist, I like the comparison to last years stats too.

However, I can’t seem to share the entire reel with friends. Just a select 9 sec video with no audio.

Just me?
 
My top artist of the year was Metallica, but the last 2 months it was Linkin Park (New Album and new singer). That was fun to watch, even though I feel like this should have been done either in late december or early January.

I do love the Replay playlist that updates every Sunday. That is something Apple Music is great at.

Is there any way to remove songs from this year's Replay? I have children and most of the previous years have been filled with their music that was streamed from my iPhone or HomePod mini, and I'd really appreciate being able to block certain tracks, albums, or artists from being included in my stats.

I wish you could remove things from this... My number one thing across the board is a delta wave soothing sleep sound album I use to fall asleep every night🤦‍♂️ completely ruins all the results
I saw this link from an article on The Verge - Curating Your Curation. It is basically a workaround - set up a focus mode that does not use listening history.

Ugh in-app gave me hope, but being "in app" just opens up a jank web view again

How can Apple off all companies be doing a jank web view? The big proponents of native experiences? Saving clips individually doesn't even save their sound, there's no mood, personality, nothing all that fun to share and it's jank to do so, it's once again a poor imposter of Spotify's.

The rest of the year I stay on Apple Music but this time keeps letting me down lol. Spotify even has artist messages from the popular ones you listen to most, Apple's continues to look and feel like a single student whipped up a web page for this.
