What is YouTube Music Recap?

YouTube Music’s recap feature is exactly what it sounds like. It’s a recap of the music, artists and genres that you listened to over the past year. Technically, it’s just January through November. Since the recap does come out right at the beginning of December. So obviously, December is not included in the Recap. New in 2022, YouTube Music Recap is available in the YouTube Music app as well as the regular YouTube app. You can just search for “recap” on YouTube to find it. YouTube Music is also introducing some new personalized stats. These include Top Trends, Identity and Hard to Find Content. Finally, Google is also integrating Google Photos (only in the YouTube Music app). So you’ll see shareable cards highlighting your top songs from each season. You can also choose to personalize them by adding your own images from Google Photos. Otherwise, your Recap will show you how much time you spent listening to your most popular artists, genres and playlists. And even create a playlist of your most listened to songs for the year. Which is one of my favorite features.
