Fresh new stats
We know you love discovering unique stats about your listening habits, so we’ve added three new stats this year to highlight more of what made 2024 uniquely yours.
- Listening description: Whether you were “ampled” or “mellow,” Music Recap now features a personalized summary that encapsulates the essence of your listening habits over the year, describing your tastes in a way you’ve never seen before.
- Listening timeline: Trace your musical journey throughout 2024 with a timeline that highlights key moments from the year—whether it was the month you most listened to your top track to when you took some new risks and had your most adventurous listening month.
- Your music movie character: Based on your listening habits, we’ll introduce a character inspired by your top tracks and artists—think of it as your musical alter-ego! Are you more of “The Hometown Hero” or “The Hopeless Romantic?” Maybe you're someone else? You’ll just have to find out in the app!
Higher-quality photos in your musical album
For fans who link their Google Photos to YouTube Music, we’ve improved the quality of the photos in your Music Recap. We’re able to pull better-curated images that capture moments relevant to your music year, making your musical photo album feel more meaningful and vibrant than ever.
Podcast highlights
In 2024, we’re excited to add a new element to Music Recap for music lovers who also enjoy podcasts. Your Music Recap will now include up to two new cards dedicated to your podcast listening.
