Amazon Music has unveiled its latest feature, 2024 Delivered, a personalized yearly music recap that provides listeners with insights into their favorite tracks, artists, and podcasts. Designed to compete with similar features offered by other streaming platforms like Spotify Wrapped and Apple Music Replay, Amazon Music Delivered 2024 offers a detailed summary of individual listening habits while leveraging the company's ecosystem to create a unique user experience.

Amazon Music Delivered 2024 compiles user-specific statistics, including the most-listened-to songs, top artists, and favorite podcasts of the year. The feature also highlights unique data points such as the most frequently requested songs on Alexa, integrating Amazon’s voice assistant into the experience. Accessible through the Amazon Music app, this recap allows listeners to reflect on the music and podcasts that defined their year.

Users can find their 2024 Delivered summary by navigating to the Library section of the app and selecting the "2024 Delivered" banner. In addition to viewing their personal stats, listeners can access their "Top Songs 2024" playlist, which curates the songs they enjoyed most throughout the year. The playlist is also accessible via Alexa-enabled devices by saying, “Alexa, play My Top Songs 2024.”

One aspect that sets Amazon Music Delivered apart from its competitors is its use of Alexa. Selected users with Alexa-enabled devices may receive a personalized audio message from their most-listened-to artist of the year. 

While the criteria for selection have not been disclosed, this feature highlights Amazon’s ability to integrate its streaming platform with its smart home ecosystem, offering an interactive twist on the standard year-end recap.

For those who qualify, Alexa devices will signal a new message with a flashing yellow light. This integration shows how Amazon leverages its voice assistant to enhance user engagement.

Amazon Music Delivered also goes beyond individual recaps, sharing global listening trends for 2024. A dedicated webpage showcases the year’s most-streamed artists, albums, and podcasts, broken down both globally and for specific regions. Among the notable global statistics for this year is the continued dominance of Taylor Swift, who topped numerous charts worldwide.

In addition, Amazon Music has curated "Best of Year" playlists across various genres, such as Indie, Hip-Hop, Rock, and Kids, allowing listeners to explore popular tracks beyond their personal favorites.

Much like its counterparts, Amazon Music Delivered 2024 enables users to generate shareable content. Animated cards display key listening statistics and can be posted on social media platforms, making it easy for users to showcase their music preferences to friends and followers.

This new feature is Amazon’s most comprehensive attempt yet to offer a personalized retrospective. Previously, the platform provided a limited “My Year in Review” playlist that lacked detailed statistics and the visual appeal of shareable content.

With 2024 Delivered, Amazon Music is taking steps to align itself with more established offerings like Spotify Wrapped and Apple Music Replay, both of which have been staples for users seeking end-of-year summaries.

While Amazon’s feature arrives in tandem with similar launches from competitors, such as YouTube Music’s 2024 Recap and Apple Music Replay, its inclusion of Alexa and potential artist messages provides a distinct element of personalization.

Amazon Music Delivered 2024 is available to all qualifying Amazon Music customers across major global markets. This includes users of all subscription tiers:

• Amazon Music Free: A basic, ad-supported option with shuffle-only playback.
• Amazon Music Prime: Available to Prime members with an expanded library of 100 million tracks and download options.
• Amazon Music Unlimited: The premium tier, offering lossless HD and Ultra HD quality for millions of tracks, now bundled with Audible.

To access the feature, users simply need to ensure they have the latest version of the Amazon Music app installed on their device.
