It’s mid-February, and it’s time to check out all the wonderful music you’ve been into this year.
If that sounds odd, we agree, but that’s just how Apple does it. On Tuesday, MacRumors noticed that Apple started displaying its “Replay 2022” feature to Apple Music subscribers, giving an overview of the music they’ve listened to in 2022 so far.
You can see the “Replay 2022” feature in two different places: Either open Apple Music on your phone, switch to “Listen Now” and scroll to the bottom, or go to the web version at https://beta.music.apple.com/replay. The phone version basically consists of an ever-updating playlist of your 100 most popular tracks on Apple Music, while the web version also lists most streamed artists and albums, with some additional statistics.
The playlist updates weekly, and it gets less fun as time goes on and your list of favorite tracks solidifies; on the other hand, it’s cool that it’s available pretty much all year round.
If you haven’t used Apple Music enough this year, you’ll see a message saying you haven’t listened to enough music to generate a playlist yet.
Sorry.

Spotify has a similar yearly recap called “Spotify Wrapped,” but it becomes available at the end of the year, in December, and — unlike Apple’s version — it’s shareable on social media and a bit more colorful.
