The festival season is here again this year. The algorithmic elves living inside our favorite music streaming apps are all starting to churn out personalized “best of” lists in the vein of Spotify Wrapped and Apple Music Replay. But there are new kids on the block this year. Amazon Music has released its own version of its annual roundup.
It’s called Amazon Music Delivered, but is this a play on the fact that the company actually delivers a lot of packages? In any case, the year roundup includes some of our favorites from the year. See all your songs, artists, and podcasts. The tool also displays “Most Requests Made to Alexa.” Oh, oh. I asked Alexa to sing that horribly catchy cat song for the 25th time this year.

Simply visit your library’s page and tap the banner that says “2024 Delivered.” Nostalgic You can access your playlist by asking Alexa for the top songs of 2024.

Like other streamers, Amazon Music has announced the most popular artists and songs of the year. Taylor Swift was named top artist, and Benson Boone’s “Beautiful Things” won top song.
Like most of the company’s digital products, Amazon Music’s various tiers can be a little confusing. Prime members automatically get something called Amazon Music Prime, which gives them access to a catalog of 100 million songs and podcasts. This tier has no ads, but members are associated with playlists and shuffles, similar to how Spotify’s free tier works.
Amazon Music Unlimited removes all restrictions, but costs $10 per month for Prime members and $11 for non-members. Finally, there’s Amazon Music with ads. This is an ad-filled version of the standard Prime base tier. It costs nothing and is available to everyone, even those who aren’t interested in free expedited shipping.
