NBC broadcast the 2023 Globes after the 2022 show was not televised. The ceremony was engulfed in turmoil after a 2021 Los Angeles Times report revealed the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, the organization responsible for the Golden Globes, had no Black members, prompting stars and studios to boycott the show in 2022
This is the time of year for figures! Music fans everywhere are using their preferred streaming app as 2023 comes to an end to find out the figures behind their favorite songs, albums, and artists.
While a lot of people are looking forward to seeing their personalized Spotify Wrapped reveal, which will highlight the songs and podcasts they have listened to the most in the past year, some people are using Apple Music Replay to share their 2023 story.
Since 2019, Apple Music has compiled recap playlists at the end of the year to give listeners information about their listening habits.
But in 2022, the platform unveiled additional features like a personalized highlight reel of the most popular artists, songs, albums, genres, and total minutes listened, which made the data discovered more shareable and enjoyable to utilize.
Furthermore, superfans who rank among the top 100 listeners of a certain artist or genre may now view how they stack up against other listeners.
Oliver Schusser, Apple’s vice president of Beats and Apple Music, gave the following explanation last year: “We really wanted to develop the experience further and make it even more special, personal, and unique for subscribers. When we first launched Replay, the feature became an instant fan favorite on Apple Music.”
The music we listen to all year long creates something of a soundtrack, and it’s a lot of fun to be able to go back and repeat those special and poignant times.
