Replay is a dynamically generated playlist that automatically updates itself throughout the year, one per week. If you share a playlist with others and a friend adds your Replay playlist to their library, they will get updates on your top played songs for the year.

  1. Launch Safari or another web browser on your computer
  2. In your web browser, go to replay.music.apple.com

The web version provides a more detailed breakdown of your listening history for the year:

  • Your top 100 most streamed songs
  • Your most streamed artists
  • Your most streamed albums
  • Detailed play counts
  • How many artists you’ve listened to so far this year
  • Hours spent listening to music

If your Replay still doesn’t appear, you haven’t been listening to much music lately. The feature needs enough data to create your personalized playlists so play some more music.

What is Apple Music Replay and how does it work

Replay playlists are designed as a showcase of what you’ve listened to the most throughout the year. This includes not only your most played artists and albums but the 100 topmost played songs and other AI-powered charts. With Replay, you get one playlist with your top songs of the year for every year that you’re subscribed to Apple Music.

A support document on the Apple website explains that Replay uses your Apple Music listening history to calculate which songs, albums and artists you’ve been listening to the most throughout the year. On top of that, Replay takes into account the following factors:

  • Music played on any device that’s signed in to Apple Music with your Apple ID
  • Not including music played on devices that have “Use Listening History” turned off in Settings
  • Counting only music that’s available in the Apple Music catalog
  • Songs played in your library must be synced with your Apple Music subscription
  • A minimum amount of plays and time spent listening to a song, artist or album

Rival Spotify has its own Replay-like feature, dubbed Wrapped.

Unlike Apple Music Replay which is available year-round, Spotify Wrapped is a year-end recap. Available each December, Wrapped is more popular than Apple’s offering thanks to its easily shareable infographics for social media platforms.
