One of the most exciting things about music streaming is being able to see those juicy stats as the year comes to a close. Now YouTube Music Recap and Spotify Wrapped are usually released in the first week of December every year. In the meantime, you can check your Apple Music Replay anytime once you’re a few weeks into a new year. However, it is not integrated into the app and it can be tricky to find. To help you with that, in this guide we’ve outlined the steps to help you easily access your Apple Music Replay 2023 stats.
How to Check Your Apple Music Replay 2023
Apple Music Replay works by recording your listening history, including the number of times you listen to an artist, song, album, and more. Plus, it gives you the number of hours you listened to it.
Using this data, Apple Music creates your repeat for the year. Additionally, Apple Music updates this data every week. Now follow the steps below to view your Apple Music Replay 2023 statistics:
- Go to the official replay page from your Android, iOS or desktop browser.
- Then from the home page, tap the Get started knob.
- On the next page, sign in with the same Apple ID you use for Apple Music.
- After you log in, you will see the message “You are logged in.” Tap the red Get on button to continue.
- You will then see the blue banner of Replay 2023 again with the Get Started button. Tap it again.
- Finally, when the next page loads, scroll down to find your Apple Music Replay 2023 stats.
If you’re wondering, you can easily take screenshots of the stats to share with anyone social media platform you want. You can also click the share button that appears on each stats page to share them directly from the Replay website.
How to access Apple Music Replay playlist
It’s always a good time when you can see all your favorite songs in one playlist. The Replay Playlist lets you do just that. The service creates an automated playlist and updates it weekly as you explore the different music options.
To find this playlist and add it to your library, follow the steps below:
- On the Replay Stats page, scroll down to find the 2023 Replay banner with the Open in Apple Music knob. Tap or click this.
- You will then be redirected to the Apple Music app on your iPhone, Android or Mac device. Here you will see the Replay 2023 playlist open with the songs below.
- Tap or click here plus (+) icon in the upper right corner. The playlist will be added to your Apple Music library immediately.
You should now be able to easily find this playlist in your Apple Music library. You can also share your Apple Music Replay 2023 playlist with your friends.
Why can’t I see my Apple Music replay?
Although you now know how to access your Apple Music Replay, following the steps will not reveal your statistics. This can happen for two reasons. The first and most common reason is that you simply haven’t listened to enough music or songs to get that data. In that case, instead of your listening statistics, you will see this message:
Moving on, the second reason why you can’t see your stats is because you have probably accidentally turned off Listening history for Apple Music. Enable this setting and while you use Apple Music, your listening history will be recorded.
Remark:
You can also see the option in the dedicated Apple Music app for iOS, iPad, Mac and Android. The web version of Apple Music and the Windows Apple Music Preview app do not show this option.
The listening history will then be reflected in the Apple Music Replay 2023. So make sure you listen to a decent number of songs and visit the Replay page again to see your stats. If you don’t know how to tell if listening history is disabled on your device, here’s a quick guide:
- On iPhone/iPad: Go to Settings -> Music -> Enable the “Use listening history” option when it is turned off.
- On Mac: With the Apple Music app open, hover your cursor in the top portion of your screen to reveal the app settings. Then navigate to Music -> Settings -> General tab -> Use listening history -> Check if disabled –> Click on the OK button.
- On Android: Open the Apple Music app and tap the vertical three-dot icon in the top right corner. Then go to settings and enable the “Use listening history” option.
Although the Apple Music Replay 2023 is not as detailed as Spotify Wrapped, it is better than the Spotify iceberg. Plus, it’s a pretty good tool that gives you access to analyzing your listening habits all year round. This means you don’t have to wait, as with other music streaming services.
Furthermore, with the kind of changes Spotify has undergone lately, many music lovers want to switch to another platform. In that case, Apple Music is one of the best alternatives. Not to mention that Apple Music comes with Lossless Audio support even at the basic level, which Spotify is reportedly preparing to add with a new Spotify Supreme low.
Yes, Apple Music Replay is accurate. However, keep in mind that Apple Music updates your stats weekly to show your overall annual stats.
You can view a list of your top 10 most played songs via the Apple Music Replay 2023 website. You can also see how many times you have played these songs.
If you think your Apple Music Replay stats are incorrect, chances are your listening history is disabled. This is enabled by default, so you’ll need to enable it for your iOS, Android, iPad, or Mac device before going to the Replay page.
