    How is it that I have 23.5k hours of music listened and it also says my top played song was played 18 times…

    How do you play your top played songs?

    I am tapping on them, and it’s just zooming in on the webpage page.

    What sort of imbecile designed this? It’s called Replay, and you can’t Replay the music?

    They should rename it to Apple Music Can’t Replay.

    I’ve taken a screenshot, and then copied and pasted the text out of Photos and then pasted that into the search bar in music, so I can listen to my songs.

    Have I missed something here? Am I stupid or is it really that bad?

      you can turn your homepods to be an “alternative” account and not yours so it doesn’t count against your personal plays

          In the home app, go into the HomePod settings and check out “Primary User” in that sub menu, there’s an option to choose “HomePod Account”.

          Though I just read this:

          This account will only be used on this HomePod and will be allowed to control accessories in this home. This HomePod account will be used when it does not recognise the voice making a music or podcasts request.

          Which means that when it recognizes who is using it, it will use that user, otherwise it will use the default, so it’s not exactly what I thought.

    lol, my replay 23 is the same as last year. I almost always put on my yearly replay because it has the best songs and this year it was just a repeat of last.

    I listen to new stuff, but when I’m driving I like to listen something familiar

    Another year of Apple Music Replay another year feeling like it isn’t correct.

    There must be some weirdly strict rules about what constitutes a ‘play’ and what doesn’t, or a problem syncing plays between devices on icloud - I don’t know.

    Every year I get my Replay back and there are visually obvious things to me that are wrong. An example would be an album I am certain I have listened to several times only showing 50 minutes total playtime this year. Weird.

    Maybe I’m the only one who has this problem but I have never had the feeling that this data was as accurate as spotify wrapped and I am disappointed every single year.

      another year feeling like it isn’t correct

      It’s totally, comically wrong. My “top” song is by Men Without Hats, with 36 plays, and I can’t stand that group.

        my “top” song has 105 plays but I don’t think I’ve ever consciously listened to it and my second highest has like 50 plays and I play that all the time.

      I only know one of the top songs on my top 15 lol. It says I listen to a playlist I’ve never heard and I just checked to see if my Apple Music was logged in to somewhere, and it wasn’t.

      An album play only counts when you listen to the song from the album itself, not when playing the song from a playlist etc.

      Mine is always wrong. There’s a song I’ve listened to like 3 times but it’s high on my list. I don’t know how they count this.

      Yeah… I don’t think I’ve listened to an album 223 plays… unless it’s specifically any song from the album? But even then the total song plays down the bottom don’t add up to 223

      This happens to me too. What it thinks is my top album might have been last year but definitely is not this year. Unless it counts any single song played off the album towards “most listened to album” there’s zero chance I’ve listened to my “top” album 294 times this year. Frankly going by full album listens, Reputation (TS 🫣) should be my number one album of the year

      Yeah it’s definitely wrong. It says my most played song was 17 times and my most played album was 51 times. The song wasn’t on that album. So shouldn’t my most played song be any song from that album?

        51 plays is the sum of the songs on that album. The individual songs have less than 17. So it’s actually right.

    It’s really weird how this isn’t a native feature/playlist in Apple Music, but through their website instead. Like is it really that hard to just implement Apple Music Replay within the app?

      Yes exactly. For the last 4 years my stats are overtly biased towards my March-June listening. While the songs and albums feel somewhat correct no way the numbers are accurate.

      I presume it isn’t counting plays across devices. And has some rule about what counts as a play.

    Uhhh I feel like this is missing a bunch of plays. My top song has 13 plays, that’s far too few.

      Same. My top played song shows 12 plays. I listened to that song probably 12 times in a single day and I still don’t think it’s my most played song. It’s a joke.

      Mine is 23 and for a song I know I didn’t play more than a few times (it’s an obscure classical track) but I know I played a lot in 2021/2022. It seems to be skewed by older data for me.

      same. granted my plays were split between Apple Music and Spotify. But I know I listened to my top song more than 20 times in both apps.

      If you have owned music and don’t just stream subscription stuff, I believe it will not count iTunes Match music. Of course it might only be matched songs that aren’t in their catalogue which would make sense.

      Also doesn’t count anything I play on Sonos (using their integration). I know because I always play some ambient/chill music and that would be at the top of everything.

      Hmmm mine was pretty accurate. Well into the hundreds of plays with artist play on the thousands. Are you sure you’re only using Apple Music?

    I’m supposedly one of Richard Thompson’s Top 100 listeners. Feels like I should get a postcard or a sticker or something.
