Not To Be Outdone By Spotify, Apple Music Releases 2022 Replay Roundup

If you’re an avid Apple Music user but are feeling a pinch of FOMO seeing your friends’ Spotify Wrapped highlights all over social media, you no longer have to feel left out. Making the festive season merrier, Apple Music has also released its year-end roundup called Replay for 2022, giving access to users to a feature reel based on their listening habits.

Eagerly waiting for an insight into one’s streaming habits and top songs of the year has become quite the tradition among music lovers owing to Spotify Wrapped. The music platform has charmed its listeners with flashy decor, personalised highlight reels and top song playlists over the years. And now, its competitor Apple Music has joined the bandwagon.

Apple Replay was first launched in 2019 with a custom-made playlist, however, it didn’t win many hearts. This is the first time the feature got a major update and music aficionados are impressed.
