Apple Music Replay 2026 Now Live: Track Your Top Songs Year-Round

Apple Music Replay 2026 is now available, offering year-round listening stats and a weekly-updating playlist of your top tracks.

Apple Music Replay 2026 is now live, giving subscribers their first look at 2026 listening stats and a new playlist featuring their top tracks of the year so far. Unlike Spotify Wrapped's annual December reveal, Apple's year-round recap feature updates continuously, letting you track your music habits as they happen.

How to Find Your Apple Music Replay 2026

The 2026 recap includes detailed listening data for January, covering total listening time, top songs, top artists, and top albums. A special Replay playlist automatically compiles your most-played tracks and refreshes weekly throughout the year.

To access your Replay:

  • Open the Music app on iPhone, iPad, or Mac
  • Navigate to the "Home" tab
  • Scroll down to find the Replay section

The feature is rolling out gradually, so if you don't see it immediately, keep checking throughout the day. Apple also requires users to meet minimum listening thresholds before generating a recap, so new or infrequent listeners may need to wait.

What Makes Apple Music Replay Different

Apple Music Replay's continuous availability sets it apart from competitors. While Spotify Wrapped creates a year-end splash with its December release, Apple Music Replay provides ongoing insights that update monthly and weekly. This means you can:

  • Track listening trends as they develop
  • See how your music preferences shift throughout the year
  • Discover patterns in your listening habits earlier

The monthly breakdowns offer granular detail about your music consumption, while the weekly-updating playlist ensures your top tracks list stays current with your evolving tastes.

What's Included in the 2026 Recap

For January 2026, users can explore:

  • Total listening time for the month
  • Top 10 songs played
  • Top artists by play count
  • Most-listened-to albums
  • Genre breakdowns
  • First-time plays and new discoveries

The Replay playlist serves as a dynamic collection of your year's favorites, automatically adjusting as your listening habits change. This playlist becomes a living document of your musical year, rather than a static snapshot taken once annually.

Getting Started with Your Replay

If you're new to Apple Music Replay, the feature requires an active Apple Music subscription and sufficient listening history to generate meaningful statistics. The minimum thresholds ensure that recaps reflect genuine listening patterns rather than sporadic usage.

Once available, your Replay appears directly in the Music app's Home tab, making it easily accessible alongside your other content. The integration means you can jump from viewing your stats to playing your Replay playlist without leaving the app.

What songs and artists are dominating your Apple Music Replay for 2026? The continuous nature of this feature means your musical story is being written in real-time, with each week adding new chapters to your year-long listening journey.
