Apple Music Wrapped 2024: Everything You Need to Know About Your Year in Music
Introduction: Why Apple Music Replay Matters
As the year draws to a close, music streaming platforms have once again released their highly anticipated year-end summaries. Apple Music’s 2024 Replay dropped Tuesday, Dec. 3, offering subscribers a comprehensive look at their listening habits throughout the year. This feature, often referred to as ‘Apple Music Wrapped’ by users drawing comparisons to Spotify’s popular Wrapped campaign, has become a cultural phenomenon allowing millions to reflect on and share their musical journeys.
What’s New in Apple Music Replay 2024
Along with the 2024 Replay experience, which shows Apple Music subscribers their most-played songs, albums and artists of the year, Apple Music also revealed charts with the year’s top music. This year’s edition introduces several exciting features that enhance the personalised experience.
The 2024 Replay goes beyond the Top 100 listeners of years past. 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. Additional new features include the longest consecutive number of days they’ve played from Apple Music, monthly breakdowns of top songs and artists, and the exact date users first listened to their favourite tracks of the year.
How to Access Your Apple Music Replay
Accessing your personalised Replay is straightforward. iPhone users with iOS 18.1 can access their Replay by opening the Apple Music app. They can also use the Home, New or Search tabs. Those using previous iOS versions on both mobile or desktop can access their Replay by visiting replay.music.apple.com.
Global Listening Trends
“2024 was a historic year across the board, as more women reached the year-end global songs chart than ever, global genres soared to new heights, and many of the top ranks went to artists who had never made the year-end charts before,” Apple Music said in a press release. Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” was 2024’s most streamed song, according to Apple Music.
