Apple Music Replay 2024: How to get it
Apple Replay 2024 has arrived, and we know what you're thinking: Isn't this thing available throughout the year?
Well, yes and no. It's true: You can access Replay all year over at replay.music.apple.com to see your personalized list of top artists, songs, albums, and genres, as well as milestones such as the number of minutes you've spent listening to music this year.
But now, Apple also has a special Replay experience, and it comes with several new features, too.
What is Apple Music Replay 2024?
Similar to Spotify Wrapped (which should be coming any day now as well), Apple Music Replay is a colorful look back at your year in Apple Music, displaying your top played songs and minutes listened, but also stuff like the top cities you used Apple Music in, and your top Shazam song if you use the Apple-owned music recognition service.
Other insights that are new to this year's Replay include Listening Streaks, which show the longest consecutive number of days you've used Apple Music, Top Artist Streak, which shows if you've had a certain artist as your number one artist for multiple consecutive months, as well as being able to see the date when you've first listened to your top song, artist, and album this year.
You can also listen to your most-played songs of the year with Replay 2024 mix, as well as check out your listening habits per month (including previous years) in your Replay insights archive.
How to view your Apple Music Replay 2024
So, how do you get the goods? There are several ways to do it.
On your iPhone, you can access the Replay 2024 experience in your Apple Music (you'll find it in the Home, New, and Search tabs). To do so, however, you'll need to have iOS 18.1 or later installed.
If, for some reason, you have a version of iOS earlier than 18.1, you'll still be able to access the experience on replay.music.apple.com, which works on both mobile and desktop.
And if you so desire, you can share all the insights with friends on social channels and messaging platforms (this is optional, and Apple says no one can access your insights unless you explicitly share them).
Apple Music has also dropped its 2024 Year-End Charts
Alongside the new Replay experience, Apple also shared its top charts for the year, which this year includes the biggest songs on Shazam.
Spoilers ahead: The number one song globally on Apple Music this year is Kendrick Lamar's "Not Like Us," and newcomer Benson Boone is on top of the Shazam chart with "Beautiful Things."
There are many charts to browse through this year, including Top Songs of 2024: Global, Top 100: Shazam, Most-Read Lyrics, Top 100: Sing, Shazam Global Radio Spins, and Top Fitness Songs, among others. You can check all of Apple's year-end chart over on Apple Music.
