Apple Music has named Not Like Us by Kendrick Lamar the most streamed song of 2024 as part of its Replay 2024 event. 

Replay is Apple's answer to Spotify Wrapped, and the company says Lamar's song was his biggest hit on Apple Music to date. Other songs to crack the top 5 include Sabrina Carpenter's Espresso and Taylor Swift's Cruel Summer.

Replay -- like the forthcoming Wrapped--enables users to look back at their listening habits of the past 12 months. Replay includes a 2024 mix available on the web and via the Android and iOS app.

New features of the 2024 Replay edition include:

  • Top Artist Streak and Top 100, 500, 1000 Listeners: Users can see if they've made it to the top 1000 listeners of a particular artist or genre.
  • Listening Streaks: number of days they've played from Apple Music.
  • Replay by Month and Date of First Play: With this feature, you can relive your year through the months, with your No. 1 songs, artists and albums from each month of 2024.

Apple Music is a music streaming service with over 100 million tracks available and also includes songs mixed in spatial audio. It is available for $11 a month.
