If you want to find your most-listened-to songs on Apple Music, Replay offers a fantastic way to review your listening data, showing your monthly and yearly top songs, artists, albums, and listening milestones. Furthermore, if you want to see exact play counts for your favorite tracks, you can find them directly in the Apple Music app or in iTunes on your Mac or Windows desktop. Here’s how to do both.

  1. Track Top Songs with Apple Music Replay
  2. Find Most Played Songs in Apple Music Library
  3. View Play Counts Within a Specific Playlist
  4. How to Keep Apple Music Top Songs after Subscription Ends

Option 1. Track Top Songs with Apple Music Replay

The Apple Music Replay playlist features your top songs of the year, up to 100. The playlist is usually released at the end of January or the beginning of February and updated weekly, while deep-dive monthly data sheets are available via the browser dashboard. It also offers your listening data from previous years.

Apple Music Replay is accessible on both mobile and desktop devices. Here’s how to find it:

  1. Go to Home in Apple Music and scroll to the very bottom to find the “Replay: Your Top Music” section.
  2. Tap the “All Time” Replay playlist or a specific year to see your top songs for that period.

  1. For monthly play counts, tap the Replay feature card (not the playlists for each year) to visit the Replay website. Log into your account if prompted.
  2. On the Replay website, select a month at the top to view your most played songs for that time span. Tap the “Top Song” section to view songs by play count.

Option 2. Find Most Played Songs in Apple Music Library

Your Apple Music Library organizes all your music, including cloud streams, local files, and purchased tracks. With the Apple Music app or iTunes on Mac and Windows computers, you can easily arrange these songs by columns such as name, artist, album, and play counts.

To ensure that all songs you’ve listened to on Apple Music appear in your Library, go to “Settings > Advanced” and enable “Add songs to Library when adding to Playlists and Favorites.” This will automatically add music to your library and make it easy to find your most-played songs of all time.

  1. Open the Apple Music app on your Mac/Windows PC or launch iTunes.
  2. Go to the Library and select “Songs” in the left-side panel.
  3. Click “View” in the top menu, then select “Show View Options.”

Option 3. View Play Counts Within a Specific Playlist

If your library is too cluttered, you can check play-count data inside a specific playlist with the Apple Music app on Mac/Windows or iTunes. Keep in mind that you need to add the playlist to Library before using this method.

  1. Go to a playlist from your Library sidebar.
  2. Select “View” > “as Songs” from the top menu.
