Get ready to revisit your favorite tunes as Apple Music has launched its 2024 Replay feature on December 3. This annual experience allows subscribers to see their most-listened-to songs, albums, and artists over the past year, along with revealing the year’s top music charts.
Apple Music highlights that 2024 was a significant year for music, noting that more female artists made it onto the year-end global songs chart than ever before, and several rising stars achieved standings in a way they hadn’t in the past.
The 2024 Year-End Charts illustrate the top songs based on a combination of Apple Music streams, Shazam tags, and radio airplay. Remarkably, Kendrick Lamar’s song “Not Like Us” dominated the global streaming charts, maintaining its position at the top of the Global Daily Hot 100 for over six weeks after its May release. Following closely behind were Benson Boone with “Beautiful Things” in the second spot, Sabrina Carpenter’s “Espresso” at third, Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” in fourth, and Taylor Swift’s “Cruel Summer” rounding out the top five.
In addition to chart results, Replay now offers new features that allow users to delve deeper into their listening habits. Subscribers can identify if they rank in the top 500 or even the top 1000 listeners of their favorite artists or genres. Other features enable users to track their listening streaks, review their monthly top songs, and even recall the date they first played their favorite tracks.
For iPhone users with iOS 18.1 or above, accessing the Replay is straightforward through the Apple Music app. If using older iOS versions or on desktop, users can visit replay.music.apple.com.
This launch not only brings nostalgia and personalization to music lovers but also highlights the dynamic landscape of the music industry in 2024, where diversity and emerging talent are gaining recognition. Apple Music continues to foster a communal experience through its innovative features, making it an exciting time for music enthusiasts around the globe.
