Apple Music Replay 2026 is now live, offering subscribers a year-round alternative to Spotify Wrapped. The feature tracks listening habits throughout the year, showing top artists, songs, and total hours listened. Unlike Spotify's annual-only summary, Apple's version updates weekly and provides ongoing insights into music consumption patterns.

Apple Music Replay appears automatically at the bottom of the Listen Now page for users who've previously added Replay playlists to their library. The service launched in 2015, so long-time subscribers can browse their listening history dating back nearly a decade. Each year's playlist features up to 100 songs based on personal listening frequency.

In iOS 26, the Replay tool integrates directly into the Music app instead of requiring Safari navigation. Users can access monthly breakdowns or view the annual summary, with detailed stats showing artists listened to and milestones reached. The Share Sheet button generates custom images for social sharing.

The 2026 playlist updates every Sunday with fresh songs until year's end. While Replay lacks Spotify Wrapped's viral social features, it provides consistent tracking of musical preferences over time, making it a useful tool for understanding personal listening evolution.
