Lost Apple Music play counts after accidentally removing an album - can they be restored?

Hi everyone,


I have a question regarding Apple Music.


I've had one of my favorite albums in my library since 2017 and have been listening to it non-stop. Today, a new Dolby Atmos version was released and I accidentally removed the album from my library instead of just deleting the downloaded songs and re-downloading them. After re-adding it, I noticed that all my play counts and “last played” data are now gone. One of the songs had over 1,900 plays, so I’m hoping there’s a way to restore those stats. Is there any way I could retrieve them?


Thank you in advance for your response!
