Just like many other platforms, Apple Music offers its users a way to look back on their habits on the app. Here’s everything you need to know about Apple Music Replay.
After Spotify Wrapped began showcasing users’ unique listening habits in 2016, circulating such results quickly became an annual tradition — and in recent years, platforms from BeReal to Twitch to YouTube have hopped on the bandwagon.
Apple Music Replay is Apple’s take on Spotify Wrapped, which allows users to look back at their most played songs and artists of the year. However, what makes Apple Music Replay different from Spotify Wrapped is that users always have access to look at their listening stats, but also receive a year-end replay at the end of December each year.
Apple Music Replay compiles the biggest songs into a personalized playlist, basing their findings on a user’s Apple Music listening history, the number of plays for a song, artist, album, playlist, genre and station, and the amount of time spent listening in those categories.
Here’s how you can see your Replay listening stats.

If you still can’t see Replay, make sure Use Listening History is turned on for all of your devices:
- On your iPhone or iPad: go to Settings > Music and turn on Use Listening History.
- On your Mac: in the Apple Music app, choose Music > Settings, click the General tab, then select Use Listening History.
- On your Android: at the top of the Apple Music app, tap the More button, tap Settings, then turn on Use Listening History.
And there you have it – that’s all you need to know about Apple Music Replay.
