Apple Music Replay is great once a year and frustrating the other eleven months. You build a whole year of listening, and Apple hands you the big recap in the winter. If you want to know what you have been playing this month, or where an artist ranks all time, you are mostly out of luck inside the app.
Here is the good news. You can see a version of your Replay any time you want, and there are a few ways to get closer to the all-time and monthly numbers people keep searching for.
What Replay actually shows you
Replay is Apple Music's year in review. It tracks your top songs, artists, and albums, and your total listening time for the year, and it packages the year-end version into a shareable recap and a "Replay" playlist you can save.
The part people miss is that Replay is not frozen. It updates through the year as you listen. So even in the middle of summer, you already have a running Replay for the current year sitting there. You just have to know where to look. If yours looks stuck or empty, our guide to Apple Music Replay not working covers the common fixes.
Because it keeps updating, your Replay is less a frozen snapshot and more a live scoreboard for the year. The top song you see in July may not be the one that wins in December, and that is the point. Checking in more than once lets you watch your own habits shift as new records and playlists take over your rotation.
How to see your Replay right now
The fastest route is the web page Apple built for exactly this:
- Open replay.music.apple.com in any browser.
- Sign in with the Apple ID you use for Apple Music.
- Your current year's Replay loads, with top artists, top songs, and total minutes so far.
You can also find it in the app. Open Music, go to the Home or Listen Now tab, and scroll down to the Replay section. Apple keeps a "Replay [Year]" playlist in your library too, and each past year gets its own, so you can look back at previous years without any extra tools.

The catch with all-time and monthly
This is where a lot of people get stuck, so let's be clear about it.
All-time Apple Music stats do not exist as a single official number. Apple keeps Replay on a per-year basis. There is no built-in "all time" leaderboard the way some services have. What you can do is open each year's Replay playlist and read them side by side, which gets you a real picture of your all-time favorites even if Apple never adds them up for you.
Monthly Replay is not an official feature either. People search for it because they want a shorter window than a full year. The closest official signal is your heavy rotation, which Apple updates continuously based on what you have been playing lately. It is not a tidy "March recap," but it is the honest answer to "what have I been into this month."
So the workaround for both is the same in spirit. For all time, stack your yearly playlists and read the patterns across them. For the month, lean on heavy rotation instead of expecting a formal recap. Neither is a perfect number, but together they answer the questions people actually have when they go looking.

See it in one place, on demand
Bouncing between the Replay page, your library playlists, and heavy rotation is a lot of steps. That is the gap our Apple Music stats tool fills. Connect your account and it pulls your recently played and heavy rotation live, then links you straight into your Replay, so you get the recent, the current, and the year-end view without hunting through three places.
It only ever shows your own data, it uses Apple's official read only sign in, and nothing is stored. Check it in the middle of July if you feel like it. You do not have to wait for the year to end.
Tired of waiting all year for one recap? The Apple Music stats tool pulls your recently played and heavy rotation live and links straight into your Replay, so your recent, current, and year-end listening all sit on one screen. It uses Apple's official read only sign in and stores nothing.
