Apple Music Replay: How to See It + What It Does

The first release of the Spotify Wrapped feature in 2016 was a true game-changer. People liked it so much that even the most loyal Apple Music enthusiasts couldn’t help but peek over the fence.

It took a while, but Apple responded in 2019 with Apple Music Replay, which is not just a year-end playlist. No, this thing allows you to relive the greatest hits of your entire musical journey throughout the year.

Apple Music Replay is more than just a stats feature for Apple Music, it is your personal time machine for reliving those unforgettable musical moments. 

How to See Apple Music Replay: TL; DR

The fastest way to see your Apple Music Replay is to go to the official Replay page, sign in with your Apple ID, tap the “Jump In” button, and check out the stats. This info is verified by Apple’s official support team.

What Is Apple Music Replay?

Apple Music Replay is a feature that showcases Apple Music listening stats to active subscribers.

Replay showcases your most listened tracks, albums, genres, playlists, and more. It’s available every month, but there is also the yearly wrap-up Replay that highlights your yearly milestones – stuff like minutes listened to Apple Music, number of artists played, and more.

The year-end Apple Music Replay also includes the highlight reel with a visual recap of your top tunes. Much like with Spotify Wrapped, this info can be shared through social channels.

Another cool feature is that Apple Music Replay lets you know if you are among the top 100 listeners of your favorite artists. This is a nice little bonus that Apple Music has added for loyal fans who can’t stop listening to their favorite bands on repeat throughout the year.
