Apple Music has officially launched its 2024 Replay feature, allowing subscribers to look back at their most-played songs, albums, and artists from the past year. Released on December 3, this update brings both nostalgia and fresh insights into music consumption.
According to Apple Music, 2024 was a breakthrough year in which a greater number of female artists dominated the year-end global songs chart than in previous years. Additionally, many artists who previously had not reached these rankings found success, marking a significant shift in the music landscape.
Kendrick Lamar led the pack with his hit single “Not Like Us,” achieving over six weeks on the Global Daily Hot 100 chart since its May debut. Benson Boone’s “Beautiful Things,” Sabrina Carpenter’s “Espresso,” Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy),” and Taylor Swift’s “Cruel Summer” rounded out the top five tracks streamed globally.
This year, Apple Music also introduced new features to its Replay experience. Subscribers can now explore their musical journey in greater depth. Notable new features include the ability to see whether they are in the Top 500 or Top 1000 listeners of their favorite artists, discover their longest consecutive days of listening, and browse monthly highlights showcasing their top songs, artists, and albums throughout the year.
For those interested in their stats, users can find their personal Replay in two simple ways: iPhone users with the latest iOS can access it directly through the Apple Music app, while others can visit replay.music.apple.com.
In the world of music streaming, the ability to reflect on listening habits can foster deeper connections with artists and genres. As the year concludes, Apple Music’s Replay offers a unique opportunity for fans to celebrate their musical journeys while shining a light on emerging talents in the industry.
