Apple has wrapped up all your listening stats in a bow with its annual recap of your entire year in music streaming. This time, you can view the full Replay experience in the Apple Music app via the home, new and search tab — yes, no need to go to a microsite for your vital listening statistics. You can save a playlist of your most-played songs in 2024, though that and your stats will be cemented in January — if you’re looking to kick out a particularly embarrassing song that’s wormed its way into your head, you could spam other tracks? You can even access your Replays from previous years (something Spotify doesn’t offer with Wrapped).
More widely, the most-listened-to song on Apple Music overall this year was Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us,” his most recent Drake-diss track. Benson Boone’s “Beautiful Things,” meanwhile, was the most identified song on Shazam. Beautifully hard to identify.

Intel unveils its budget Battlemage Arc GPUs
The $249 Arc B580 is reportedly faster than NVIDIA’s RTX 4060.
Who cares if Intel doesn’t have a boss! The company’s second-generation Xe2 Arc GPUs are real, and once again, they could be compelling options for gamers looking for capable video cards under $250. Confirming leaks from the past week, Intel today unveiled the $249 Arc B580 and the slightly less capable $219 B570, both of which target 1,440p gaming. We liked Intel’s last cards, but that hasn’t stopped its overall GPU market share from falling to zero percent. The Arc B580 cards will be available on December 13 for $249, while Arc B570 models will arrive next month, on January 16, for $219.
