The end of the year signals the arrival of one of the most anticipated features for music fans: year-end streaming summaries. Apple Music Replay 2024 is officially here, delivering a detailed snapshot of each user’s listening habits over the past 12 months. Released today, Replay offers subscribers a personalised overview of their top artists, albums, and songs, alongside broader insights into global music trends for the year.
But hold on, if you’re wondering if Apple Music Replay has been actually available all year, you’re not wrong. And yet, while Replay is accessible year-round at replay.music.apple.com, offering a running tally of your top artists, songs, albums, and genres, the year-end edition brings something special. It captures your full 2024 listening journey, including milestones like your total minutes spent immersed in music.
A Year of New Records and Rising Stars: What's Behind Apple Music Replay 2024
Apple’s year-end offering competes with other major players like Spotify Wrapped and Amazon Music’s Delivered, but Replay brings its own unique touches. Alongside individual listening stats, Apple Music compiles global rankings with the most-played songs, albums, and artists of the year. The service also draws on its ownership of Shazam to include intriguing extras, like the most Shazam-ed songs and the year’s most-read lyrics.
New to this year’s Apple Music Replay are features like Listening Streaks, which show the longest consecutive days you’ve used the service, and Top Artist Streak, showing if a particular artist claimed your top spot for several months in a row. You can also see the exact date you first listened to your top song, artist, or album of 2024.
Replay 2024 also includes a personalised mix of your most-played songs and a detailed monthly breakdown of your listening habits, complete with an archive of insights from previous years.
This year saw notable milestones in the music industry. Apple Music reports that 2024 featured more women on its global year-end chart than ever before. Genres from across the globe made impressive strides, and many of the year’s top artists broke into Apple Music’s annual rankings for the first time.
Kendrick Lamar claimed the No. 1 global song of the year with Not Like Us, followed by Benson Boone’s Beautiful Things and Sabrina Carpenter’s Espresso. Taylor Swift’s Tortured Poet’s Department: The Anthology took the top album spot, cementing the artist’s dominance as she also secured the title of Apple Music’s top artist of 2024.
