2024 was a big year for music. We had new albums from Taylor Swift, Beyoncé, Billie Eilish, Sabrina Carpenter, Vampire Weekend, and Kendrick Lamar, just to name a few. You may have listened to any number of new albums that came out this year, mixed in with music that released any time over the last 100 years. You might not even remember what you listened to back in January. Fortunately, Apple Music does. Here's how to check your 2024 Apple Music Replay.
It may have taken five years, but Apple Music Replay is finally, finally available in the Apple Music app. For Apple Music Replay's entire (albeit short) history, you've had to go to a separate website, music.apple.com/us/replay, and log into your Apple Music account in order to access your recap. It seemed silly, considering Spotify Wrapped is very much an in-app experience, but it took Apple until 2024 to get with the program.
That said, it doesn't seem to be running natively in the app: To me, it looks like Apple opens an in-app browser, where it loads your Apple Music Replay with the same experience as the website. But the fact you don't have to leave the app, or bother with logging in, is spectacular.

You can still access your Replay from the official website, but the easiest way to review it is from the app on your iPhone or iPad. Open the app on your device of choice. Make your way to the "Home" tab if the app doesn't open there automatically, then tap or click on the large "Replay" option that should appear in the top left. (This option appears in the Mac app, but it will automatically direct you to the website in your browser.) Apple Music will open what appears to be an in-app browser, and will launch your 2024 Replay by default. You'll have access to all of your Replay months here, as well (excluding December, of course, since the month just started), but let's focus on 2024.
At the top, you'll find a "Replay your year in music" tile. Tap "Play Your Highlight Reel," and Apple Music will walk you through your year. Here's what you can expect, at least based on my results: First up, you'll see your total listening minutes, complete with both a collage of the albums you listened to most, and one of your top-played songs playing in the background. Next, you'll see the number of artists you listened to, again, with a collage of their images, a relevant song playing in the background, ending on your top artist of the year. The following slide is a breakdown of your top artist by month, while the next calls out any artist you were a top listening for this month. Next, you'll see the number of songs you listened to, complete with your top song of the year. Then you'll see the number of albums you listened to, and which one was your top choice. Second to last, Apple Music tells you your top genres of the year, including the one you listened to most, followed by a final slide summarizing the whole year.
You don't have to watch the highlight reel to see these stats: Once out of the reel, you can scroll through the Replay page to see everything covered in the slides, plus additional stats: I see top artists, songs, and albums by month—so I can see which artist defined February (The Decemberists), which song I listened to most September ("She's Leaving You" by MJ Lenderman), and which album I played on repeat in May ("The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess" by Chappel Roan). I also see top playlists of the year; different listening milestones, like Minutes Listened, Artists Played, and Songs Played; stats from last year's Replay; and a playlist of my top songs of the year.
Many of these stats, both in and out of the highlight reel, are easily sharable. You'll see a share icon next to any stat you can export, which makes it simple to share fun graphics with friends or on social media. I've already blown up the group chat with some of my stats here, and I expect many of you to do the same.
