100

R&B Now

by Apple Music R&B

Wo R&B heute steht und wohin das Genre sich entwickelt, hörst du hier. Diese Woche ist Jhené Aiko mit „He Belongs“ neu dabei. In dem nachdenklichen Song ringt die Musikerin mit dem Konflikt zwischen ihrem Privatleben und ihrer Karriere. Sie stellt die entscheidende Frage, wem ihre Loyalität gilt, und singt: „You Belong To Me, I Belong To Them / Who Do I Give Me To?“ („Du gehörst zu mir, ich gehöre zu ihnen / Wem gebe ich mich hin?“) „R&B Now“ wird regelmäßig aktualisiert. Wenn dir also ein Song gefällt, füge ihn am besten sofort deiner Mediathek hinzu.

Rap Life

by Apple Music Hip-Hop/Rap International

Diese Songs prägen die Hip‑Hop-Kultur von heute. Der Track „Heart of the City (Ain’t No Love)“ ist ein zentrales Puzzlestück von JAŸ-Zs Meilenstein „The Blueprint“. Darin reflektiert er über die Schattenseiten des Ruhms, während der von Kanye West produzierte Beat – basierend auf einem Sample des Soul-Klassikers „Ain’t No Love in the Heart of the City“ – eine melancholische und zugleich triumphale Atmosphäre schafft. „Rap Life“ wird regelmäßig aktualisiert.

Today’s Christian

by Apple Music Christian

A great song can lift you up or get you over the hump; it can be a mirror when you’re feeling strong and a rock of support when you’re feeling weak. In other words, certain types of pop music can speak to the heart in ways that make you feel grateful just to be alive. From soaring ballads to surging dance anthems with touches of electronic and indie rock, here are the biggest tracks inspiring us today: the sound of good news. Our editors update these tracks regularly. If you hear something you like, add it to your library.

Morgan Wallen Essentials

by Apple Music Country

Born in 1993 in Sneedville, Tennessee, Morgan Wallen grew up singing harmonies with his sisters in the church where their father preached. By 2014, he’d managed to get onto and eliminated from The Voice, but not before showing an innate versatility and relaxed style. His breakthrough came with 2017’s “Up Down,” a Southern-rock spring break anthem that radiated frosty-can cool with help from Florida Georgia Line. But his 2018 debut, If I Know Me, proved Wallen could ride solo on cleverly penned everyman hits like “Whiskey Glasses,” a honky-tonk heartbreak sing-along about getting over your blues with something a little stronger than beer goggles. As easy as his country goes down, Wallen stays committed to exploring interesting new directions. He converted “Cover Me Up,” the signature song of anti-bro Jason Isbell, into a hymn of support for returning veterans. And in 2020, he not only held down “Heartless,” Diplo’s EDM foray into the Wild West, but dropped “7 Summers,” a soft-focus Eagles-style ballad about a boy who lost a girl because he wouldn’t leave his East Tennessee home.

Louvor e adoração

by Apple Music Cristã e Gospel no Brasil

Por muito tempo, o gospel carregou o adjetivo de música para ser ouvida na igreja, mas o gênero ganhou corpo com o passar do tempo, desenvolvendo características como originalidade, individualidade e presença, ultrapassando os templos e ganhando vida em festivais de música. Aqui, uma playlist com os melhores nomes da música cristã contemporânea. As músicas desta playlist são atualizadas com frequência. Se você gosta de uma delas, adicione-a à sua biblioteca.

The Sand Bar

by Apple Music Country

Country has always been good at hitting that sweet spot between kicking back and tearing it up. It's that feeling you get when you're outside on the water—or just want to pretend you are. Here's a set of breezy tunes to frame the journey. Our editors regularly update this playlist. If you like a song, add it to your library.

Disney Hits

by Disney

All your favourite Disney songs past and present.

Back Porch Country

by Apple Music Country

Country music has always had a tight relationship with the idea of home, and that feeling of kicking back and slowing down when you get there. Mixing rootsy and crossover tunes new and old, this playlist is meant to help you unplug. Our editors regularly refresh these tracks. If you like a song, add it to your library.

Michael Jackson Essentials

by Apple Music Pop

Mit unzähligen Hits und Tanzeinlagen von einem anderen Stern hielt Michael Jackson über vier Jahrzehnte die Welt in Atem. Aus dem niedlichen Jungen, der gemeinsam mit seinen Brüdern als The Jackson Five umwerfenden Motown-Soul spielte, entwickelte sich im Laufe der Jahre der unumstrittene „King of Pop“, der nicht nur 1982 mit „Thriller“ das meistverkaufte Album aller Zeiten veröffentlichte, sondern mit seinen bahnbrechenden Musikvideos und elektrisierenden Live-Shows auch unsere heutige Vorstellung eines Popstars erst definierte. Hier findest du die besten Songs dieses einzigartigen Künstlers.

Ella Langley Essentials

by Apple Music Country

Alabama native Ella Langley has proven to be one of contemporary country’s sharpest voices, melding a more traditional sound with radio-ready pop flair and a distinctive twang. Her first major hit was a duet with Riley Green, the sassy, conversational “you look like you love me”, which succeeded by resisting Music City trends in favour of the timeless: abundant pedal steel, fingerpicked guitar and jangling saloon-style piano. Langley had already been building buzz with the catchy “Country Boy’s Dream Girl” and the rocking Koe Wetzel duet “That’s Why We Fight” when she released her debut album hungover (whose deluxe edition included the propulsive “weren’t for the wind”), situating herself as the latest heir to the legacy of women country artists from Loretta Lynn to Miranda Lambert who make taking no guff central to their music and persona. And then the Lone Star State came a-calling. “Choosin’ Texas”—the first single off her sophomore full-length Dandelion—slow-burned to the top of the charts, earning Langley smash crossover success with its angsty, drawling tale of love-triangle woe. “Be Her” from the same album followed in its path—another jealousy-fuelled ballad that thrived among audiences. “I’m in the back half of my twenties and still figuring it out, but I feel like I do it with a little more confidence,” Langley told Apple Music. “That’s why a lot of these songs represent that. They represent that feeling of, like, you know, you’re still figuring it out, but you’re trying to do it a little bit better each time.”

A-List Pop

by Apple Music Pop

Was in der Popwelt gerade angesagt ist, hörst du hier. An der Spitze der Playlist steht diese Woche ADÉLA. Mit ihrem Hit „Ain’t In LA“ vom Debütalbum „PRIMA“ schaffte es die Slowakin als erste Künstlerin ihres Landes in die US Billboard Hot 100. Damit verkörpert sie die Message des Songs perfekt: „It’s All A Lie, The Baddest Bitches Ain’t In L.A.“ („Alles gelogen, die krassesten Frauen sind nicht in L.A.“) Diese Playlist wird regelmäßig neu für dich zusammengestellt. Speichere deine Favoriten also am besten sofort ab.

¡Dale Play!

by Apple Music Latinoamérica

80er Hits Essentials

by Apple Music 1980er-Jahre

Einige der größten Popsongs und Rock-Hymnen aller Zeiten stammen aus den Achtzigern. Diese Playlist bringt jene turbulenten Jahre zurück, in denen Dance-Pop, New Wave, Heavy Metal und Glam Rock ihre Blütezeit erlebten. Sie wird regelmäßig neu für dich zusammengestellt – speichere deine persönlichen Favoriten also am besten sofort.

Dolly Parton Essentials

by Apple Music Country

Es sei ihr egal, wenn jemand glaube, sie sei blond und blöd – „denn ich bin nicht blond und ich bin nicht blöd“, sagte die Sängerin einmal, die auch jenseits der 70 selbstbewusst mit ihrem Sexikonen-Image spielte. Und tatsächlich: Dolly Parton engagierte sich für den Tierschutz, war im Kampf gegen Analphabetismus aktiv, trug die Ehrendoktorwürde und war eine erfolgreiche Unternehmerin. Und von den rund 3.000 Songs, die sie schrieb – der bekannteste sicherlich „I Will Always Love You“, gecovert von Whitney Houston – war bisher noch gar keine Rede. Einige ihrer größten Hits bietet diese Playlist.

Rock-Klassiker

by Apple Music Classic Rock

Headbanging, Luftgitarren, herrliche Heiserkeit: All das ist hier Pflichtprogramm. Mit unvergesslichen Riffs und Refrains wurden diese Songs aus den 1960er-, 1970er- und 1980er-Jahren zu zeitlosen Klassikern. Diese Playlist wird regelmäßig neu für dich zusammengestellt – speichere deine persönlichen Favoriten also am besten sofort.

’90s R&B Essentials

by Apple Music ’90s

A hand-picked mix of iconic hits by the stars that shaped '90s R&B. Our editors regularly update this playlist—if you hear something you like, add it to your library.

R&B Hits

by Apple Music R&B

Like its stylistic cousin hip-hop, R&B has some major overlap with modern pop—at times, the charts are virtually indistinguishable from one another. Put another way, the biggest R&B songs are often the biggest songs in any genre, period. Whether you call it crossover R&B, pop&B, or something else entirely, this is where you’ll find its hugest new chart smashes, updated every week. We always keep this playlist refreshed with the latest tunes. If you like something, add it to your library.

Taylor Swift Essentials

by Apple Music Pop

Der 1989 in Pennsylvania geborene Jungstar Taylor Swift hat das typische Country-Gewand längst gegen eine kommerzielle Pophülle getauscht. Die Veröffentlichung ihres Debütalbums 2006 war nur der Startschuss einer radikal erfolgreichen Karriere, denn mit jedem Folgealbum kam die junge Taylor Swift dem Thron des Pop-Olymps immer ein Stück näher, bis sie auf diesem 2010 als bereits etablierte Künstlerin endlich Platz nahm. Seitdem avancierten Swifts Songs zur festen Nummer-Eins-Ingredienz der Charts. Ihre Songs mit ihren großen Songwriter-Qualitäten brennen sich mit dieser Playlist garantiert fest in dein Gedächtnis.

It's Lit!

by Apple Music Hip-Hop

This is turn-up music that will put you in the club before you’re even on your way. Mostly hip-hop, a little R&B, all bang, all day. Our editors update these picks regularly. If you like a track, add it to your library. Enough talk? Okay. Let’s go.

’90s Country Essentials

by Apple Music ’90s

Country music exploded in the ’90s. Early in the decade, stars like Brooks & Dunn and Shania Twain had people line-dancing to their crisp, tight beats. By the end of it, they—alongside a new generation of stars—were selling out stadiums and topping the pop charts—feats almost unheard of even a decade earlier. Of course, the sound of country music grew alongside its audience. With female stars often in the lead, artists energized their records with the flashy guitar sounds and big production tricks of classic rock and metal without ever losing their signature twang.

Bad Bunny Essentials

by Apple Music Urbano Latino

Bad Bunny ist zu einem Symbol für den Einfluss lateinamerikanischer Kultur im globalen Mainstream geworden. Mit seinem unverwechselbaren Stil hat er den Look, den Sound und das Gefühl des modernen Pop neu geprägt – immer angetrieben von seiner eigenen Muse. Wie der Titel seines Albums „YHLQMDLG“ von 2020 schon sagt: „Yo hago lo que me da la gana“. Er macht also, was er will. 1994 als Benito Martínez Ocasio geboren, wuchs Bad Bunny im puerto-ricanischen Vega Baja auf und begeisterte sich schnell für die Klänge von Reggaeton, Merengue und Salsa. Dann entdeckte er Hip‑Hop für sich. Heute verbinden seine Tracks nicht nur Tradition und Futurismus sowie lateinamerikanische und globale Einflüsse, sondern eröffnen auch neues thematisches Terrain für lateinamerikanische Künstler:innen: Verletzlichkeit („Vete“) und selbstbestimmte Weiblichkeit („Yo Perreo Sola“). Auch seine Team‑ups machen diese Spannweite deutlich – vom melancholischen „LA NOCHE DE ANOCHE“ mit ROSALÍA über das dynamische „MÍA“ mit Drake bis hin zum lässigen „Lo Siento BB:/“ mit Julieta Venegas. Ein Jahr nach der Veröffentlichung des Albums „Un Verano Sin Ti“ (2022), das zu den Apple Music 100 Best Albums zählt, kehrte Bad Bunny mit „nadie sabe lo que va a pasar mañana“ zurück. Dieses Album erweiterte sein Repertoire um Jersey-Club-Elemente („WHERE SHE GOES“) und festigte seinen Status als einer der dynamischsten Hitmacher:innen der Welt. Schließlich kündigte die NFL den Superstar als Headliner der Apple Music Super Bowl LX Halftime Show an – mit einem kurzen Clip, in dem Bad Bunny an seinem Heimatstrand Playa Puerto Nuevo zwischen Football-Torpfosten sitzt. „Das ist das, was ich an mir, an meiner Karriere und an meinem Erfolg mag“, sagte er 2025 gegenüber Zane Lowe von Apple Music. „Ich bin immer ich selbst geblieben.“

Yacht Rock Essentials

by Apple Music Classic Rock

In 2005, the actor/screenwriter J.D. Ryznar wrote, directed, and produced a TV series for the Los Angeles short-film festival Channel 101 called Yacht Rock. The idea was to tell comically overblown backstories about the creation of a strain of ultra-smooth music from the late ’70s and early ’80s. Christopher Cross, Michael McDonald, Kenny Loggins—to paraphrase Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart’s 1964 description of obscenity, you know it when you hear it. As entertainingly corny as some of the tracks here are, they also represent some of the era’s more serious songwriting efforts, exploring themes of longing and regret with a muted tension not even the slickest production could fully smooth over—a sense of contrast and depth the music doesn’t always get due credit for. Interestingly, as mainstream as these tracks were, their richest second life came in the form of 2010s electronic subgenres like vaporwave, which took the soft-focus quality of the music to surreal extremes. For now, though, lock in, settle down, and surrender to the breeze.

Noah Kahan Essentials

by Apple Music Alternative

Noah Kahan, born in 1997, captured the imagination of rural and urban folksters alike with his unique brand of acoustic-driven pop ballads. The Strafford, Vermont-born singer-songwriter first emerged in 2017 with a number of strong tracks, showcasing an undeniable talent. His voice, confident yet vulnerable, leads the way while his aggressively strummed guitar parts infuse his work with an almost percussive gallop. More recent singles like 2022’s “Stick Season” and the Post Malone-featuring “Dial Drunk” have introduced Kahan to a wider audience, allowing him to transcend his folk roots while remaining loyal to the acoustic sounds he first broke out with.

Lo-Fi Chill

by Apple Music Chill

In the late 1910s, the French composer Erik Satie came up with a concept he called “furniture music”—sounds designed more for passive listening than active engagement. It’s a useful idea in thinking about the history of ambient music in general, but it feels especially applicable to the wave of lo-fi/chill-hop that has washed over the digital world 100 years later: soundtracks for studying, reading, resting, cooking, or whatever; more a sonic companion than a point of focus. With that, here’s a playlist of low-key, hip-hop-influenced beats to keep you company, whatever the errand—the furniture music for the 2020s. Our editors update picks here regularly, so if you hear something you like, add it to your library.

90er Hits Essentials

by Apple Music 1990er-Jahre

In den Neunzigern war alles möglich: von fetten Technobeats über protzigen Gangsta-Rap, von Pop-Diven über Grunge-Helden bis zu bunt zusammengewürfelten Girl- und Boybands. Diese Playlist ist eine Reise in posterbehangene Kinderzimmer und sorglose Schaumpartyzeiten, als eine begeisternde Genrevielfalt die Charts bestimmte.

Worship Essentials

by Apple Music Christian

As Christian worship music evolved from the traditional choir-and-organ-backed hymnals to a modern, rock-led sound, the faith behind the sonic changes never wavered. Praiseful lyrics form the bedrock, still, but soaring choruses, guitars, drums, and synths add to the moment. Here, the towering giants of contemporary Christian—Hillsong UNITED, Chris Tomlin, Phil Wickham, and Elevation Worship among them—offer up faithful odes and devotional anthems that allow for a practice of reverent adoration.

’80s Rock Essentials

by Apple Music ’80s

Memes don’t lie: Hair really was that big in the ’80s. And so was the rock. Dive into the decade’s classic tunes, and you’ll find yourself lost in an ocean of soaring choruses, in-your-face production values, humongous drums, and epic synthesizers. Just about every A-lister—Bruce Springsteen, Van Halen, Tom Petty, Journey, Guns N’ Roses, U2, you name it—conquered the charts and MTV with larger-than-life anthems. But it wasn’t just size that mattered; in contrast to the earthy introspection that dominated the ’70s, the ’80s were all about fun. Joan Jett raised her fists to rock ’n’ roll, while heartland icon John Mellencamp howled about sucking down chili dogs. Even R.E.M., the toast of the college-rock scene at the time, were having a blast proclaiming the end of the world. Of course, the world didn’t end, and the ’80s gave way to the much more angsty ’90s, but not before leaving behind some of rock’s most colorful and energetic jams.

R&B Throwback

by Apple Music R&B

The ’90s was a revolutionary time in R&B: Not only had the mature, quiet-storm-oriented sound evolved to its most sophisticated state, you started to really hear the influence of hip-hop—a shift that changed not only R&B, but the sound of modern pop in general. From neo-soul to new jack swing, the classic-sounding to the more cutting-edge, these are the tracks that shaped R&B in the ’90s and early 2000s. Our editors update picks regularly, so if you hear something you like, take a minute and add it to your library.

danceXL

by Apple Music Dance

Hier trifft Club-Atmosphäre auf Mainstream-Appeal. Der britische Producer Cloonee liefert mit „Get Up And Dance“ eine unwiderstehliche Aufforderung zum Tanzen. Für die zweite Auskopplung aus seinem Debütalbum „Are You Still You?“ hat er den Klassiker „Now That We Found Love“ von The O’Jays aus dem Jahr 1973 gesampelt und in ein modernes Tech-House-Gewand gekleidet.

00er Hits Essentials

by Apple Music 2000er-Jahre

In den Nullerjahren waren die Charts von einem coolen Crossover aus futuristischem R&B, innovativem Hip-Hop, lebenslustigem Pop und einer erneut aufblühenden Indie-Szene geprägt. Auf die Hits dieser Zeit kann sich daher eine ganze Generation einigen. Diese Playlist wird regelmäßig neu für dich zusammengestellt – speichere deine persönlichen Favoriten also am besten sofort.

Drake Essentials

by Apple Music Hip-Hop

Drake officially became the voice of a generation with 2011’s sumptuous Take Care, a career-defining magnum opus that earned a prized slot in Apple Music’s 100 Best Albums list. Was he an R&B singer who rapped or a rapper who sang? Was he really that sad, or just exploiting a cultural preference for male vulnerability? Adding to the slipperiness of it all, any given Drake project might incorporate dreamy house and club music into his comfort zone of rap, pop and R&B with equal conviction. Even after cementing his prowess as an MC many times over, Drake still retains the capacity to surprise. His 2015 earworm “Hotline Bling” radiated universal cool without breaking a sweat, while 2024’s “Push Ups” arrived during his fleeting beef with Kendrick Lamar yet applies lasting heat to its minimalistic prowl. Drake is now such a part of the firmament that his slightest move can trigger aftershocks far beyond his immediate reach.

#OnRepeat

by Apple Music Hip-Hop

Country Hits: 2025

by Apple Music Country

The hits and only the hits—this collection brings together great songs from the top of the charts.

Bruno Mars Essentials

by Apple Music Pop

Gliding between styles with a grin, Bruno Mars is a true triple threat. He's a singer with the sweetness and swagger of his '60s and '70 idols. The one-that-got-away intensity of a soulful ballad like “When I Was Your Man” will leave you in tears, and then this smooth operator will seduce you with the sly boasts of a dance floor-destroying anthem like “Uptown Funk”. As a songwriter, Mars is a human jukebox loaded with decades of hooks, racking up retro hits like the pulse-pounding New Wave rocker “Locked Out of Heaven” and adding bumping hip-hop breaks to the intensely sweet love song “Just the Way You Are”. But while Mars may have learned his behind-the-boards chops by studying the past—whether that means the time-tested Motown playbook or the electro-shocked pulse of post-disco R&B—even his delectable throwback jams like “24K Magic” have a luscious sheen that's pure 21st century pop.

Halloween Essentials

by Apple Music

Zach Bryan Essentials

by Apple Music Country

Unstinting honesty and stripped-down simplicity are at the core of Oklahoma troubadour Zach Bryan’s country-folk-inflected approach. When you cut your debut album (2019’s DeAnn) while on leave from the Navy, you don’t have time to muck around. He’s a storyteller with a poetic flair, and on unadorned acoustic tracks like “Oklahoma City” and the hushed, gentle “Rest, Rose”, you can see the local colour and feel Bryan’s plaintive voice vibrating the air. When he brings a few friends in on “Crooked Teeth”, the stomping-and-clapping vibe gives all the earthy intimacy of a campfire sing-along.

Forrest Frank Essentials

by Apple Music Christian

Forrest Frank specializes in a mellow brand of inspirational pop that would make a perfect soundtrack for poolside Bible study. While his secular project Surfaces blew up in the late 2010s, the Houston-born musician quietly released solo records under both his own name and the moniker Forrest. until the single “No Longer Bound,” featuring Hulvey, became a CCM favorite in 2023. The song offers a casual, lo-fi spin on praising God that sounds like little else climbing the genre’s charts. Spiritual themes notwithstanding, Frank’s solo music plants its feet in the same warm sands as Surfaces; both blend hip-hop with chillwave and ’70s yacht rock. Even when Frank tackles gospel standards on his second full-length, 2023’s New Hymns, he suffuses the production with the pastel hues of a Caribbean sunset.

Country Caffeine

Our editors add new tracks each week, so if you hear something you like, add it to your library. Now let’s get after it.

Olivia Dean Essentials

by Apple Music Pop

Love has always been the ultimate muse for Olivia Dean. A “classic Olivia Dean song”, as the Londoner told Apple Music in 2023, is about how “I will fall in love with you, but not quite.” That sentiment propelled early-career songs such as Messy track “Danger” or 2021’s sublime “Slowly”, a heart-stopping exploration of just wanting to take it slow. Still, Dean also can’t resist going all in (“Dive”) or calling it off altogether; see “Be My Own Boyfriend”, which features her reliably sharp, conversational lyricism, or “Baby Steps” from 2025 album The Art of Loving. The singer-songwriter has always traded in warm, timeless soul- and jazz-inflected pop with lyrics that feel a bit like a conversation with old friend. And by 2025, everyone wanted in. “Come be the man I need,” Dean demanded on her endlessly replayable global smash “Man I Need”, with which she dominated much of 2025 and 2026 alongside “Nice to Each Other” and “Rein Me In” with Sam Fender. And as she moved from breakout name to pop superstar, Dean made it look exactly as her music has always sounded: effortless and full of love for what she does. Explore more sounds from a special, singular talent here.

Me and Bae

by Apple Music R&B

Here's one for the lovers. New-school R&B mingles with hip-hop's more sensitive side on this set tailored to collapse the distance between you and that somebody. We regularly update these selections, so if you hear something you like, add it to your library. Then slide over and get cozy.

Rock dos anos 90: essenciais

by Apple Music: rock

O colorido new wave oitentista precisava ser superado e o rock dos anos 90 conseguiu isso com louvor. Fosse na melancolia crua do grunge ou no apuro grandioso do heavy metal, a nova década garantiu o surgimento de estilos que louvaram os grandes das guitarras ao mesmo tempo em que distorceram expectativas. Do infante britpop à incorporação do hip-hop nas melodias, passando pela heterogeneidade do rock alternativo, essas bandas conseguiram reinventar um estilo clássico nos sucessos imprescindíveis desta playlist.

Gospel Essentials

by Apple Music Gospel

It was in the 1920s and ’30s that Chicago composer Thomas A. Dorsey—widely considered the Father of Gospel Music—invented a new style of Christian music that combined the good news of the New Testament with the intensity of the blues. Not only did Dorsey’s sound spread to Black churches across the U.S., it also spawned a truly diverse tradition full of jubilee-style ensembles, vocal quartets, mass choirs, and, since the late ’70s, contemporary artists dropping God-praising jams as smooth as anything on R&B radio. Uniting these styles are several core qualities. Ecstatic emotion is essential, as are themes of uplift and liberation. Then there’s the centrality of the human voice and its ability to communicate the power of the Holy Spirit. Gospel has produced some of the most inspired singing in the history of American music, maybe none more so than its lineage of bigger-than-life female leads. Legends like Shirley Caesar, Mahalia Jackson, Aretha Franklin, and Mavis Staples all have roots in the church, and the fact that they're revered far beyond the gospel community serves as a testament to the universal impact of this music.

KAROL G Essentials

by Apple Music Urbano latino

Y llámame como tú quieras / Lo que tú digas me resbala / Yo sólo vivo a mi manera”, declara KAROL G en “Ahora Me Llama”, junto a Bad Bunny, la canción con la que irrumpió en las grandes ligas del reggaetón en 2017. Desde entonces, la autoexpresión sin filtros, el empoderamiento femenino y la libertad de espíritu han sido los pilares sobre los que la artista de Medellín ha construido una trayectoria coherente en transformación continua. Hoy es una de las voces más influyentes del reggaetón, rostro definitivo del pop internacional, emblema del orgullo latino y figura clave en la exploración folclórica del género urbano. Con éxitos como “Tusa”, el álbum KG0516 (2021) la catapultó como estrella mundial, más allá de géneros e idiomas. Además, le otorgó una nueva identidad pues, más allá de su popularidad, “BICHOTA” es el símbolo de toda su fuerza. Como afirmó desde el inicio: ella manda, ningún hombre puede con su “pum pum”. Dos años más tarde, cantó desde la herida en MAÑANA SERÁ BONITO (2023). En ese material, su vulnerabilidad se transformó en potencia, permitiendo a su público sufrir con ella del mismo modo en que antes celebró cada triunfo. Este disco debutó en el primer lugar de la Billboard 200 y se convirtió en el primer álbum en español de una mujer en formar parte de esa lista. Además, su gira homónima rompió récords de asistencia en América y Europa. En 2025, la “Bichota” cedió el paso a la Tropicoqueta, que reivindica la cultura latina como una gran fuente de inspiración. Este álbum transita entre cumbia villera, bachata, vallenato y regional mexicano, géneros que KAROL G acoge para ondear su bandera con orgullo. A pesar de que algunas canciones, como “Si Antes Te Hubiera Conocido” o “LATINA FOREVA”, retoman las temáticas habituales de fiesta desbordada, relaciones amorosas y poder femenino, Tropicoqueta desplaza el marco de referencia para dialogar con el legado de algunas leyendas latinas como Selena. Sin importar el apodo por el cual sea conocida, KAROL G vive y crea música a su manera.

Fleetwood Mac Essentials

by Apple Music Classic Rock

Tension can be a great motivator for a band, and no group has put that maxim to the test quite like Fleetwood Mac, a ’60s British blues-rock outfit that—through a series of lineup changes, stylistic shifts and rocky internal romances—became the paragons of ‘70s Californian pop. Since the band’s formation in London in 1967, drummer Mick Fleetwood and bassist John McVie have served as both the rhythmic and spiritual anchors for a group that has hosted a revolving-door procession of outsized personalities, starting with Peter Green, the budding guitar god responsible for early hits like “Black Magic Woman” (famously covered by Santana) and the tranquil instrumental “Albatross” (which The Beatles admittedly aped on their Abbey Road track “Sun King”). After Green quit in 1970, the band cycled through different frontmen—Danny Kirwan and Bob Welch among them—while their keyboardist, McVie’s wife Christine, emerged as a female vocal foil. After a relocation to L.A., they welcomed singer/songwriter Lindsey Buckingham and his musical/romantic partner Stevie Nicks into the fold, heralding Fleetwood Mac’s transition into soft-rock hitmakers on their 1975 self-titled effort. But Nicks’ star turns on “Rhiannon” and “Landslide” revealed a darker mystique at the core of their easygoing sound and, as sudden success caused the long-term relationships within the band to disintegrate, their next release effectively invented a new genre: rock album as couples therapy. On 1977’s Rumours, Fleetwood Mac dressed up the bitterest break-up songs in the smoothest, sultriest arrangements to the tune of over 40 million copies sold; the album’s appeal is so universal that it’s been both cited by Courtney Love as an influence and used to soundtrack Bill Clinton’s presidential campaign. But the band were eager to play against pop-star type—1979’s double-album colossus Tusk betrayed Buckingham’s affinity for post-punk, and though it was deemed a commercial disappointment at the time, it has since been embraced as a cult classic by discerning indie rockers. And even as more streamlined ‘80s efforts like Mirage and Tango in the Night reasserted their pop panache, Fleetwood Mac have remained a cauldron of drama and intra-band acrimony, the principal members seemingly coming and going without warning. In the wake of Buckingham’s departure in 2018, the group enlisted Crowded House singer Neil Finn and Tom Petty sideman Mike Campbell. Christine McVie, who wrote some of the band’s biggest songs, including “Don’t Stop”, “You Make Lovin' Fun” and “Over My Head”, died in November 2022 at the age of 79.

Elevation Worship Essentials

by Apple Music Christian

Elevation Worship belongs to a generation of Christian singers and musicians who have ushered in a sea change in worship music. The 2011 song “Exalted One” lays out the North Carolina band's bold vision, couching the genre's praise of the Lord's beneficence in distorted alt-rock guitars and surging harmonies reminiscent of U2's inspirational anthems. But the group's ambitions don't stop there: Persistently searching for contemporary ways to deliver the Gospel's messages, they also incorporate the fragile beauty of piano pop (“O Come to the Altar”) and the ethereal richness of electronic music (“Here as in Heaven”).

Bob Marley & The Wailers: essenciais

by Apple Music: reggae

A primeira formação do The Wailers aconteceu na capital da Jamaica, Kingston, em 1963, contando com três nomes hoje lendários: Bob Marley, Peter Tosh e Bunny Wailer. Embora não tenha inventado o reggae, feito atribuído ao mítico produtor Lee Perry, nenhuma banda soube explorar melhor o estilo do que o The Wailers. Depois que Tosh e Bunny Wailer partiram para a carreira solo, Marley recrutou os irmãos Aston “Family Man” (baixo) e Carlton Barrett (bateria), solidificando o caminho para o dub. Adeptos do rastafarianismo, as letras do the Wailers falavam sobre problemas sociais, amor e liberdade, entre outros temas.

Super Simple Songs Essentials

by Apple Music Kids

When Devon Thagard and Troy McDonald—two English as a second language teachers in Japan—wanted to use music to help their students learn, they created their own, simplified arrangements of classic children’s tracks, as well as original compositions, for ease in their educational venture. Super Simple Songs, founded in 2006, eventually turned into a juggernaut YouTube channel, with plenty of tunes—and spinoff characters like Noodle & Pals and Finny The Shark—to aid in instruction that leans into a child’s imagination. Whether paying a visit to “Old MacDonald” and his farm, warning the “Five Little Monkeys” to stop jumping on the bed, playing a little “Pat-A-Cake,” or clapping along to “If You’re Happy and You Know It,” these timeless lullabies and nursery staples are perfect for growing minds.

Reggaetón: imprescindibles

by Apple Music Urbano latino

Ese beat que ha hipnotizado caderas en todos los rincones del mundo es producto de una compleja evolución del rap y el sabor musical latino. Desde sus orígenes, pioneros urbanos como Vico C, Daddy Yankee y Don Omar sentaron las bases de una exaltación hispanoparlante con baterías secas y bajos profundos, que han reverberado desde los años 2000 hacia nuevos ídolos de la escena como Luis Fonsi, Maluma, J Balvin, Calle 13 y Wisin & Yandel. Al compás de un agresivo perreo, la imaginación de cada artista integra letras pegadizas a este representativo beat latinoamericano nutrido de electrónica.

2000s Hip-Hop Essentials

by Apple Music 2000s

The 2000s began with New York’s lyrical titans—JAŸ-Z, Nas, Cam’ron, Jadakiss, newcomer 50 Cent—battling for supremacy, commercial and otherwise. However, New York’s grip on the hip-hop narrative would loosen. Atlanta rappers like Outkast, Ludacris, T.I., Lil Jon, and Young Jeezy would spin hip-hop into crunk and trap; a young, ambitious Chicago producer named Kanye West would open up new vistas of personal and emotional hitmaking; and New Orleans spitter Lil Wayne’s constant flood of mixtapes would change the economics of rapping forever. The internet would help spread regional sounds like the UK’s minimalist grime, Houston’s slow-moving chopped-and-screwed music, the Bay Area’s hyperactive hyphy, and Atlanta’s short-lived snap. By decade’s end, the gurgle of Auto-Tune and the freewheeling phrasing of Drake had begun to scramble the circuits, setting up hip-hop for its most melodic decade yet.

Chris Stapleton Essentials

by Apple Music Country

Chris Stapleton was already an established songwriter for Kenny Chesney, George Strait, and other greats when he released his 2015 debut, Traveller. Next to the era's charged-up tunes about bikinis and tailgating, Stapleton seemed like he was from a different time: in his mid-thirties, with a rawhide Kentucky voice, and unfashionably long hair beard. His mixture of Southern rock, classic country, and blues didn’t sound like anything else on the radio, and the songs were dark explorations of hard times ("Nobody to Blame") and boozy unhappiness (“Whiskey and You”). He's only gained more fans—from both sides of the mainstream/alt-country divide—as he's continued to hone his songwriting: Hear the focused reflection on "Broken Halos" (from 2017's From A Room: Vol. 1), the gorgeously tender title track on 2020's Starting Over, and the particularly soulful rocker "White Horse" (from 2023's Higher). But while his sound treasures the past, he's refreshingly undogmatic for a traditionalist: The fact that he's also recorded with Justin Timberlake ("Say Something") and with P!nk ("Love Me Anyway") just further underscores his appeal.

2000s Country Essentials

by Apple Music 2000s

Country music has always been grounded in the lived experience, but in the 2000s the genre paid especially close attention to the little moments in our days: not just the joys of drinking and falling in love but also the pleasures as simple as heating a bowl of rice in the microwave. This natural development was a way to take stock of American life in the turbulent time after 9/11 and during the U.S. invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan. Some responded with hard-rocking patriotism, while others took out the fiddles and tried a different approach.

’90s Hip-Hop Essentials

by Apple Music ’90s

Hip-hop in the ’90s went from the voice of the streets to the sound of America, taking over the charts, film, fashion and more. Dr. Dre’s 1992 solo debut The Chronic changed rap’s pulse: blaring drum loops were exchanged for lush low-rider funk; gangsta rap was now indistinguishable from pop. Though the spotlight moved to Los Angeles, New York rappers like Wu-Tang Clan, Mobb Deep, and Nas made a grimy strain of “boom bap” that was gritty, vividly bleak, and lyrically intricate. Regional sounds slowly infiltrated the airwaves, including E-40’s slick “mobb music” (the Bay Area), the rapid-fire “chop” of Bone Thugs (the Midwest), the boom of 8Ball & MJG (Memphis), the crawl of UGK (Houston), and, most notably, the left-field rap of Atlanta’s Outkast. By decade’s end, Puff Daddy’s Bad Boy empire monopolized the charts and New Orleans labels No Limit and Cash Money turned DIY hustle into uncompromising sensations.

Kanye West Essentials

by Apple Music Hip-Hop

Kanye West started out as the first backpacker with a Benz, a genius producer with a deep throwback streak, lacing hardcore rappers and R&B players with soulful Golden Age beats. Grabbing the mic from his heroes, Yeezy immediately unlocked his inner swag, blurring the lines between audacious pop superstar, musical visionary, and intensely intimate MC. While he drops more outrageous boasts-per-minute than just about anyone, Kanye's rhymes mix deadly seriousness with over-the-top silliness, injecting even his most political and personal bars with razor-sharp punchlines. His sound is just as kaleidoscopic, tracking a restless creative mind as he flips dusty jazz loops, soaring EDM riffs, angelic gospel harmonies, furious rock drumming, and so much more. He'll rip up your heart on haunting slow jams like “Love Lockdown,” pump your adrenaline with ferocious bangers like “Black Skinhead,” and have you going rhyme for rhyme on all-time anthems like “Gold Digger.”

2010s Hits Essentials

by Apple Music 2010s

The only rule for pop in the ‘10s? Trusting your instincts can do wonders for your star power. Take Lady Gaga, who shape-shifted from hard-edged diva to big-voiced balladeer multiple times during the decade, or Ariana Grande, who kept fans guessing with surprise drops and coded lyrics. The 2010s were a wild time on the charts, with pop divas, hip-hop stars and guitar-strumming crooners all making their own way to the top. Adele belted her way through heartbreak and triumph; Drake got in his feelings over street-sourced beats; Taylor Swift shared her innermost thoughts with millions; and Shawn Mendes made the leap from viral-video star to world-conquering pop icon. Groups hit it big, too, whether they were singing in sweet harmony like the boy banders of One Direction or revamping themselves alongside the times like the soul-poppers in Maroon 5.

Teteo

by Apple Music Urbano Latino

Dembow is easily one of the biggest waves to hit Dominican music in a while. Mix it up with more local styles like bajo mundo and bachata and you get a sound that captures the uniqueness of Dominican culture while also reflecting a broader pan-Latin dance sound that has helped reshape pop worldwide. Listen up. Our editors update picks each week. If you hear something you like, add it to your library.

Lil Durk Essentials

by Apple Music Hip-Hop

Back in the early 2010s, Durk Banks was just another rapper making his way in Chicago drill, a bleak, diamond-hard variant on trap that channeled the city’s culture of violence into unlikely anthems. Durk would evolve beyond drill, becoming one of the rare rappers to make the leap from regional fame to the mainstream without diluting his street appeal. Painful, raw, but eerily pretty, Durk’s music can turn death threats into nursery rhymes (“Die Slow”) and coax shades of suffering from Auto-Tune that make even the slickest productions breathe with vulnerability (“How I Know”). Born in Chicago in 1992, Durk started rapping in his teens. He proved a versatile MC who could slip between dead-eyed rawness and Auto-Tuned melodicism, and handle a love song (“India”) without making it sound like it was a mandate from the label. He left Def Jam in 2018, and joined Geffen Records with 2020’s Just Cause Y’all Waited 2. In 2022, he released 7220, which featured some of his catalog’s hardest tracks up to that point (“Burglars & Murderers,” “Computer Murderers”). Durk followed that with Almost Healed, a frank exploration of tragedy and loss that pointed in the direction of 2024’s introspective Deep Thoughts.

Luke Combs Essentials

by Apple Music Country

While new artists usually get a cold reception from country radio, Luke Combs (born in 1990 and raised in North Carolina) barged right through any obstacles. His 2016 debut single, “Hurricane”, went to No. 1. The following year, his second single, “When It Rains It Pours”, went to No. 1. By 2019, Combs was the first country artist in history whose first seven singles went to No. 1—a streak he extended to a lucky 13—and he was soon headlining arenas. But Combs’ success didn’t happen overnight. He moulded his sound—a bold, yearning tenor, Southern rock guitars—and released three independent EPs before signing to a major. It doesn’t hurt that he has an everyman appeal; he’s said that he looks not like a star but like a typical country fan. He’s also a diverse songwriter who covers a lot of ground: rowdy and loose (“Cold as You”), sweet and devoted (“The Kind of Love We Make”), funny and sentimental (“Beer Never Broke My Heart”). Case in point is the faithful and impassioned 2023 rendition of Tracy Chapman’s classic 1988 track, “Fast Car”—Combs’ self-proclaimed favourite song—which he performed with Chapman at the 2024 Grammys.

Frank Sinatra was one of the world's great singers, with a voice that moved generations and defined an era.

Experience the singular thrill of Ol' Blue Eyes with this career retrospective.

’70s Rock Essentials

by Apple Music ’70s

For the rockers who swaggered and strutted through the ’70s, bigger nearly always meant better. Songs that were built to have maximum impact in stadiums and arenas somehow sounded even larger on home hi-fis thanks to multitrack recording technology and other studio advances that made the drums of Led Zeppelin’s John Bonham and The Who’s Keith Moon sound like cannon fire. Even the mellower, headphone-ready sounds of Fleetwood Mac, Pink Floyd, and the Eagles boasted unprecedented breadth and richness. Yet the decade’s sound was defined just as much by leaner, meaner takes on rock fundamentals, courtesy of artists such as AC/DC and Alice Cooper.

100

Eminem Essentials

by Apple Music Hip-Hop

On 1999’s “My Name Is”, Eminem entered the public imagination with a mandate: “God sent me to piss the world off.” And true to his word, he held a mirror to the American psyche—and his own—with uncommon incisiveness. Raised in working-class Detroit, the artist born Marshall Mathers got his start as a battle rapper, reaching the ears of future mentor Dr. Dre before they teamed up on career-making smashes like “My Name Is”, 2000’s “The Real Slim Shady” and the Dido-featuring “Stan”. Dark, funny and frequently violent, those breakthroughs established him as pop culture’s premier bogeyman, a bleached-blonde devil traumatised by circumstance. Yet as he has matured—fame, stability, sobriety, an Oscar for 2002’s “Lose Yourself”—he’s retained his edge, taking shots at politics and society with a frustration that’s bordered on relentless. After delving into his own journey through addiction on 2009’s Relapse and 2010’s Recovery, he took square aim at his original alter ego on 2024’s The Death of Slim Shady (Coup De Grâce). As always, Em reserves his harshest words for himself, refracting his insecurities into verses that only make him seem more human.
