This data holds exciting discoveries – so when does 2022‘s Replay become obtainable?

Replay Roll-Out and Listening Thresholds

Apple Music Replay lands from late October through December 2022. Replay compiles your full listening year – January 1st to December 31st.

During the roll-out period, Apple seems to prioritize releasing Replays for more active listeners first. But all eligible subscribers eventually gain access.

There doesn‘t appear to be an official threshold for required listening to generate your Replay. Based on community reports, you‘ll likely need at least 5-10 hours logged. The more active listening time, the sooner your Replay becomes accessible.

Until December 31st closes out the tracking period, Apple continues updating your Replay statistics. So heavy year-end streaming of current faves can possibly boost them higher in your final tallies!
