Why is my YouTube Music 2024 Recap not showing up?
Your YouTube Music 2024 Recap is not showing up because you didn’t listen to enough music from January 1st to November 10th.
Otherwise, you don’t have the latest version of YouTube or the YouTube Music app.
Here are the requirements to see your YouTube Music 2024 Recap:
- At least 4 hours of music listening time across YouTube platforms per season.
- At least 10 hours of music listening time from January 1st to November 10th.
- You must have the auto-delete setting disabled and watch history enabled.
- Either the YouTube app or the YouTube Music app installed on your device.
- The YouTube app needs to be version 18.43 or newer and the YouTube Music app needs to be version version 5.32 or newer, and iOS 14 or newer.

If you didn’t meet one or more of the requirements above, you won’t be able to see your recap.
Most users are unable to see it because they haven’t listened to 10 hours of music in the last 10 and a half months.
If that’s the case, you can listen to YouTube Music more often to generate your recap next year instead.
