How to get your past and present Apple Music Replay mixes

Apple Music's Replay feature compiles your most listened-to songs of the year into a playlist. If you're a long-time Apple Music user, you can also gain access to your favorites from previous years. Here's how to find Apple Music Replay mixes on Mac and iPhone/iPad.

What are Apple Music Replays?

The Apple Music Replay feature presents your favorite artists and how often you listened to them based on the year. It also includes a list of your top 10 favorite albums. The Replay for the current year is updated weekly and adjusts the list based on your latest listening habits.

The Replay feature also includes the ability to create playlists for past years. So if you've been an Apple Music subscriber since its arrival, for example, you can readily find playlists going back to 2015, the year Apple Music debuted.
