Streaming Stats: Your Year in Music

Every year, music streaming services turn listener stats into a global event. Spotify Wrapped might steal the spotlight (and have some odd design choices like last year), but it’s far from the only player in the game. Apple Music Replay, YouTube Music Recap, and My Deezer Year all bring their own flavor to the end-of-year stats craze. And then there’s TIDAL—taking a quieter, more understated approach with its "My Most" playlists.

Not sure where to start? Here’s a quick cheat sheet:

• Spotify Wrapped: The ultimate in listener stats and quirky designs to boot!
• Apple Replay: Feels more simple and less playful that Spotify. Sleek and shareable, though!
• YouTube Music Recap: Packed with stats and visuals - super fun.
• My Deezer Year: You'll find this on the EXPLORE page.

And for those disappointed that Qobuz skips it—don’t worry. Free Your Music has your back, offering a way to track stats for any streaming service, including TIDAL.

Let’s break down how to find your TIDAL recap for 2024. Here’s everything you need to know.

TIDAL Music 2024 Stats: What to Expect

TIDAL takes a slightly different approach to yearly recaps. While services like Spotify Wrapped dominate headlines in early December, TIDAL has traditionally played it cool—sometimes dropping its yearly summary as late as January to capture those December listening stats.

That said, in previous years, recaps have shown up earlier, so the release timing for 2024 is anyone’s guess.

If you’re using the TIDAL app, here’s where to find your recap:

1. Tap the Home button (bottom left—it’s the one shaped like a house).
2. Scroll down until you see Your History.
3. Look for playlists like:
   • My Most Listened (a general overview).
   • My Most Listened 2024 (or the current year’s recap).
   • My Most Listened [Month] (a monthly breakdown).

Your yearly recap lives under the My Most Listened 2024 playlist. It’s TIDAL’s version of a Wrapped playlist, showing your top tracks and artists for the year.

Here is how you find it:

Sharing Your TIDAL Recap

Once you’ve found your yearly recap playlist, sharing it with friends (or flexing on social media) is easy. TIDAL offers built-in sharing tools that make it easy to post your stats wherever you like.

Here’s how to do it:

1. Tap the Share icon in your recap playlist.
2. Choose from sharing options like Instagram Stories or copying the link.
3. For more choices, hit the More button to see additional platforms.

TIDAL may not make as much noise about its recaps as Spotify Wrapped, but it still gives you the tools to show off your most-played tracks, top artists, and even favorite genres.

Want to keep it low-key? You can always save your recap playlist and revisit it whenever you’re in the mood for a little nostalgia.

Spotify came up with a cool feature called "Playlist in a Bottle", which leans into the nostalgia element. You can make a short playlist for your future self to enjoy. A nice way to look back on what you were listening to at that time.

Why do people love Wrapped, Recap, Replay, and Music Stats?

Although there are a set of people who prefer an all-music-no-metric approach and are happy to be on a music streaming service like TIDAL music that doesn’t seem to make a big deal about their round-up like Spotify - there are millions more who love to see their numbers.

Often, the music stats can reveal things you didn’t really notice. Maybe you listen to heavy metal a lot, but you see that some cheesy 70s music is high up on your top-played tracks. Or you clock less or more hours listening to music than you thought.

Another thing that makes end-of-year music stats so much fun is that they are shareable and comparable. You can check out people's tastes, find new music, try new genres, and discuss music in a new way.

Yearly listening stats for music streaming services encourage music discovery

Every music platform likes to push music discovery, and Deezer is one of them, leading the charge in this respect with specific features for discovery - like Flow.

But the wrapped, recap, and replay, when it is shared, can also do a few positive things when it comes to music discovery:

• The social media shares will list tracks, albums, artists, and genres.
• A playlist with the tracks is created which you can save and make public - sharing the music with new people.
• When people don’t love their music stats, they make an effort to listen to new things - so they actively seek out new music.

All are great for music discovery, encouraging people to explore their music tastes and preferences further. What’s more, is that for real music lovers, you can set your own challenges for the year.

New genres added to your music tastes, collaborative playlists and Blends, and specifically with TIDAL making use of their TIDAL Rising and Cross-Genre options in the Explore tab.

The ‘My Most’ playlists that TIDAL shares are only half of your music-listening story; you can access more listener information with Free Your Music Listening Stats.
