How to get your 2023 Apple Music Replay playlist
Apple Music Replay 2023
It’s not just Spotify that has a year-end wrap-up feature — Apple Music does too! Here’s how to get your Apple Music Replay playlist, today.
Apple Music Replay 2023
Spotify has a unique feature called Spotify Wrapped that shows off your top artists, songs, and genres of the year. It is a trendy function that gets shared all over social media at the end of each year, but Apple Music fans need not miss out. The 2023 Replay playlist has been available since January.
The Apple Music Replay function isn’t as in-depth as Spotify Wrapped, but it does offer some interesting stats and specialized playlists. Stats include the number of hours of music listened to for the entire year, the number of artists listened to, and top artists with the number of hours listened to each.
The 2023 playlist should already appear at the bottom of a user’s “Listen Now” page as long as they’ve added Replay playlists to their library before. However, paying a visit to the Replay website can provide even more data.
Here’s how to get your Apple Music Replay stats and playlist:
- Navigate to https://replay.music.apple.com/ in any browser
- Sign into your Apple Music account
- Screenshot the stats for sharing
- Scroll to the bottom for a special playlist
Clicking on the above link should open the page in Safari, even on iOS and iPad devices. Browse the metrics in the browser and share various data points as PNGs. Use screen recording to capture the Instagram Stories-like video at the top.
The special playlist is generated each year starting a few weeks after the new year, and then it is automatically updated every week until the year ends. These playlists are automatically generated for each year you’ve been subscribed to Apple Music — as far back as 2015 when the service launched.
The Apple Music Replay playlist will show the top 100 songs based on what you’ve listened to most. In addition, since there is a playlist for each year, you’ll be able to see how your music taste has changed over time.
Visit the Apple Music Replay website anytime to get updated stats and playlists. The 2023 Replay playlist is available now and updates with new songs every Sunday until the end of the year. Detailed stats should show the number of songs and the number of artists listened to already, with milestones for things like 1,000 songs heard.
Apple Music celebrates Taylor Swift as the Artist of the Year for 2023
Taylor Swift has been named Apple Music’s 2023 Artist of the Year, setting record-breaking milestones and receiving the prestigious Apple Music Award.
Throughout the year, Swift achieved remarkable feats such as chart-topping songs, massive streaming numbers, and sold-out concerts in stadiums filled with devoted fans. During the first ten months of 2023, Taylor Swift achieved a remarkable feat with 65 songs reaching Apple Music’s Global Daily Top 100, surpassing all other artists in this category.
Swift expressed her gratitude, stating, “I am so honored to be Apple Music’s Artist of the Year. Thank you to every single one of you for making this year the most incredible, joyful, celebratory year ever.”
To celebrate Taylor Swift’s achievements, Apple Music is spotlighting her “Eras” era, showcasing two decades of melodic album narratives, interviews, album collections, and playlists leading up to this historic year.
Apple’s vice president of Apple Music and Beats, Oliver Schusser, acknowledged Swift’s undeniable impact on the music industry. He stated, “Taylor Swift’s impact on music is undeniable – not just this record-breaking year, but throughout her entire career.”
“She is a generation-defining artist and a true change agent in the music industry and there is no doubt that her impact and influence will be felt for years to come. We are thrilled to have the opportunity to celebrate her achievements.”
Swift experienced consistent streaming growth throughout the year, especially during her “Eras” tour, which saw a 61 percent increase in global streams when it kicked off in March. “Set List: Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour” became the most-streamed set list of the year and among the top 40 editorial playlists.
Several of Swift’s classics, including “Bad Blood,” “Blank Space,” “Style,” “Shake It Off,” “Wildest Dreams,” and “All Of The Girls You Loved Before,” made their debut on Apple Music charts in 2023. The song “Cruel Summer” from Swift’s 2019 album “Lover” became a global summer hit on Apple Music, re-entering the Global Daily Top 100 and maintaining its position.
Swift’s “Midnights” remains the largest album of all time by a female artist in Apple Music history, with significant first-day and first-week global streams.
Taylor Swift is now the most-streamed female artist in Apple Music’s history and has the most songs reaching Apple Music’s Global Daily Top 100. In recognition of her achievements, she will receive the Apple Music Award, which features a custom silicon wafer between a glass sheet and an aluminum body, symbolizing the role of technology in music creation.

As we approach the end of 2023, it’s time to start checking out your Apple Music Replay data. Apple’s “Top Songs by year” playlist is available on Apple Music every year. You can also find additional details, like your top albums and artists, through the Apple Music Replay 2023 website…
Apple Music Replay 2023 detailsThe year-round availability is the most significant way Apple Music Replay differs from Spotify Wrapped.

On the other hand, Spotify Wrapped is only available starting in December, so your results come as a complete surprise.
You can access your Apple Music Replay playlist for 2023 via the Music app on your iPhone. The playlist is located in the “Listen Now” tab toward the very bottom. This is also where you can find your Apple Music Replay playlists for other years, dating back to 2015 if you’re an OG subscriber to Apple Music.
Via the Apple Music Replay website, additional details on your top artists, top albums, and total listening time are also available. You can follow along with those details by visiting the dedicated Apple Music Replay website.
The playlist in the Apple Music app will only show the year’s top songs. Again, you’ll have to go to the Apple Music Replay website to view details like your top artists, top albums, and listening time. All of this data is updated every week on Sunday through the end of the year.
What about Spotify Wrapped?If you’re a Spotify subscriber, there’s currently no way to view your Spotify Wrapped year-in-review. Typically, Spotify releases this recap data sometime in the first week of December. We’ll be sure to update our coverage once Spotify Wrapped 2023 is available.
