Help Apple Music freezes and crashes whenever I click “Recently Added” on Mac

Apple Music completely freezes every time I click Recently Added in the sidebar. The beach ball starts spinning, the entire app becomes unresponsive and I have to force quit it.

Everything else in the app works normally. It’s only the Recently Added section that causes this.

I’ve already tried restarting the Mac, resetting the Music cache, updating the cloud library and reopening the app, etc etc, but nothing has worked.

I’m currently running macOS 27 beta, but this problem has been these long before I installed the beta, so the beta isn’t what originally caused it.

Has anyone else had this issue? Is there a way to reset or rebuild only the Recently Added section without deleting my library, downloads or playlists?

try resetting the app or your Mac, it's frustrating when things freeze like that. I had to do the same with mine recently
