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.

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.

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.

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.

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.“

Louvor e adoração

by Apple Music Cristã e Gospel no Brasil

Diese Playlist wird regelmäßig neu für dich zusammengestellt – speichere deine persönlichen Favoriten also am besten sofort.

Ella Langley Essentials

by Apple Music Country

The Alabama native has already proven to be one of contemporary country’s sharpest voices, melding a more traditional sound than many of her peers with radio-ready pop flair and a distinctive twang. Her first major hit was a duet with fellow burgeoning talent 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 rocking Koe Wetzel duet “That’s Why We Fight”, but with the release of her debut album hungover, the singer-songwriter situated 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. Her first solo radio hit, the propulsive “weren’t for the wind”, is all about seeking one’s own path without settling down—something that, early in her career, she’s already known for.

¡Dale Play!

by Apple Music Latinoamérica

Jay Wheeler abre “De Lejitos” aceptando que en esa relación fallida faltó un elemento esencial: el timing, la sincronización que hace que dos vidas encajen. Y el timing, como sabemos, es uno de los ingredientes principales del amor. Es por eso que en el resto de la canción el puertorriqueño lamenta la distancia que lo separa de la mujer que desea. “Tás de lejito', tiene' otro gato / No me has escrito ni pa' pasar el rato”, canta sobre un reggaetón que alterna entre percusiones clásicas y otras más contemporáneas. Sin embargo, la lejanía no disuade a Jay Wheeler, que en el video oficial es un caballero en un castillo, la persistencia y el temple hechos persona. “Me dejaste de seguir, pero yo soy un bellaco y todavía te sigo”, insiste. Acaba la canción y sabemos que no se va a dar por vencido. Escúchala ya y guarda esta playlist en tu biblioteca para seguir de cerca las nuevas tendencias de la música latina.

Lullaby Essentials

by Apple Music Kids

As anyone who's tried to soothe a restless soul to sleep knows, finding the perfect lullaby can be an elusive quest. A balance is needed between hypnotic repetition and dreamy inspiration, between murmured lyrics and reassuring melodies, offset by a beautifully soft instrumental backdrop. The tracks here range from cinematic orchestrations to hushed nursery rhymes, classical reveries to classic folk ditties, pop singers' delicate originals to acoustic versions of familiar ballads. What they have in common is an essential sweetness and the magical ability to be played over and over without getting old.

Justin Bieber Essentials

by Apple Music Pop

Justin Bieber gehört zu den kontroversen Stars der jüngeren Popgeschichte. Vor allem Teenager können sich mit seiner Musik und seinem Image identifizieren. Der kanadische Pop- und R&B-Sänger hatte zunächst Cover auf Youtube gestellt, bevor er 2009 im Alter von 15 Jahren mit „One Time“ und dem darauffolgenden Album „My World 2.0“ seinen internationalen Durchbruch feierte. In den eingängigen Songs geht es vor allem um jugendliche Liebe und Erotik. Sein 2012 erschienenes Album „Believe“ etablierte ihn als erwachsenen Künstler, der das Teenie-Star-Image abgelegt hat.

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.

Setlist: Justin Biebers „Coachella 2026“

by Apple Music Pop

Justin Bieber brachte nicht nur jede Menge „SWAG“, sondern auch zahlreiche Hits auf die Coachella-Hauptbühne. Diese Playlist bringt dir alle Tracks, die der Sänger in der Wüste performte.

Infinite Rain

by Apple Music Sleep

There’s nothing quite like the sound of a gentle rain. It’s comforting, safe. It gives you the feeling that things are quieting down outside, but also that life—the trees, the grass, the plants and flowers—continues to grow. Never mind that it just sounds good. Soft, bristly, like a little massage for your consciousness. Whether you’re trying to focus, fall asleep, or just relax and key into a different atmosphere, here’s a playlist of rain recordings we think should do the trick. We update things here regularly, so if you hear something you like, add it to your library.

’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.

’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.

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.

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.

Piano Chill

A-List Pop

by Apple Music Pop

Musik ist Spiegel und Seismograf der Gesellschaft in einer Art, wie es keiner anderen Disziplin der Popkultur gelingt. In dieser Playlist findest du die Songs der Stunde, die die Welt momentan bewegen – wobei „Pop“ hier mehr für ein Statement als für einen Sound steht. Die Zusammenstellung wird regelmäßig aktualisiert – speichere deine neuen Favoriten also am besten sofort ab.

Caso os afazeres não tenham terminado ainda, estas faixas darão o empurrãozinho necessário para você manter o foco.

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.

Piano Sleep

by Apple Music Classical

Pocos sonidos capturan la tranquilidad de conciliar el sueño como el piano solo. Imagina las notas como estrellas y las pausas como el cielo oscuro entre ellas o, simplemente, dale un respiro a tu mente y déjate llevar por la música. Esta selección de repertorio clásico te ayudará a relajarte y dormir con profundidad. Nuestro equipo editorial actualiza esta lista con regularidad, así que si escuchas algo que te gusta, recuerda agregarlo a tu biblioteca la mañana siguiente.

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.

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.

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.

Country Risers

by Apple Music Country

Our editors are always rotating new stuff in, so if you hear something you like, add it to your library.

It's Lit!

Listen to the songs from the tour, all on one playlist.

’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.

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.

La Oficial

by Apple Music Música mexicana

Si tuviéramos que definir las características principales de Grupo Frontera, el amor, la ternura y un horizonte sentimental que se expande con cada verso que gritan al cielo se incluirían en la lista. “Ojitos lindos”, producida por Edgar Barrera y que forma parte de su próximo EP, también pertenece a esta tradición. Luego del álbum LO QUE ME FALTA POR LLORAR (2025), el grupo de McAllen, Texas, vuelve con una nueva colección de temas amorosos, nostálgicos y, aun así, divertidos, historias que se vuelven las nuestras cuando las cantamos con el mismo entusiasmo. Escúchala ya y guarda esta playlist en tu biblioteca para estar siempre al tanto de las nuevas tendencias de la música mexicana.

#OnRepeat

by Apple Music Hip-Hop

This week, headlining #OnRepeat—a playlist chock-full of the hottest new songs we can’t seem to stop playing—is Kehlani’s “Lights On,” a Big Sean collab that appears on the Bay Area-hailing singer’s recently released self-titled fifth album. Hear it on the #OnRepeat playlist now, and if you hear something you like, add it to your library.

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.

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.

Thunderstorms

by Apple Music

The clouds are gray, the sky is still. Then, in the distance, you hear it. Like its frequent companion rain, thunderstorms are as much an auditory experience as a physical one—after all, there isn’t much to hear on a sunny day. So sink in and take comfort: Here’s a set of thunderstorm recordings you can enjoy without getting wet. Our editors change things around regularly, so if you hear something you like, add it to your library.

Hip-Hop/R&B Throwback

by Apple Music Hip-Hop/Rap International

Die 90er und die ersten Jahre des neuen Jahrtausends waren eine Blütezeit von Hip-Hop- und R&B-Sounds, die Dance und Grunge allmählich von der Spitze der Charts verdrängten. Höre hier, was damals angesagt war. Diese Playlist wird regelmäßig neu für dich zusammengestellt – speichere deine persönlichen Favoriten also am besten sofort.

2000s Hits Essentials

by Apple Music 2000s

As the calendar flipped to Y2K, teen pop ruled music’s roost, with megastars like Britney Spears and *NSYNC dominating the charts. But over the course of the 2000s, a varied pop landscape would emerge, with streetwise hip-hop, emotionally fraught rock, swooning R&B, hook-studded emo and big-tent pop all getting their moments in the sun—and even coming together in DJ-crafted mash-ups and high-profile collaborations. Pop in the 21st century’s first decade reflected the emergent digital-music era, with the “on shuffle” ideal resulting in radio playlists where Kanye rubbed elbows with The Killers and Kelly Clarkson, or where a hard-hitting Eminem track was bracketed by offerings from Beyoncé and Mariah Carey. That mix of genres and outsize personalities made for an exciting decade that put the party back in pop.

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.

Bob Marley Essentials

by Apple Music Reggae

Given the image of him as a smiling, joint-smoking peacenik that has proliferated since his death in 1981, it’s easy to forget just how angry Bob Marley was. His music spoke to colonialism (“War”), poverty (“Concrete Jungle”), the necessity of achieving political agency (“Get Up, Stand Up”) and the challenge of exercising it (“Burnin’ and Lootin’”) with a righteousness and frustration that made him as much a figurehead to punk rock as to the reggae he helped export to the world. Marley formed The Wailers with Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer in his late teens, thickening from cheerful R&B-based ska to the more rhythmically substantive sound of reggae. His music had a dialogic relationship with a variety of Black styles beyond reggae, including funk (“I Shot the Sheriff"), soul (“No Woman, No Cry”, “Redemption Song”) and even disco (“Could You Be Loved”, “Exodus”). Even as he settled into smoother, pop-oriented sounds, he retained an urgency and sense of struggle that inspired generations of artists to recognise that music, while great for entertainment, can also be the delivery system for something bigger.

Little Bit Country

by Apple Music Country

So you like country. But you also like pop. And rap’s pretty good too. And rock, and even a little electronic. Come to think of it, who put all these boundaries up in the first place? Here’s a batch of hits from across the spectrum—yep, it's a little bit country, but the rest of the selections are wide open. Our editors are updating tracks all the time, so if you hear something you like, add it to your library.

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.

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.

Sleep Waves

by Apple Music Sleep

In the late '60s, a freeform San Francisco radio station played one of the first albums of ocean sounds (Environments 1) for two straight weeks during a strike. Rolling waves, trickling streams, the steady lifeblood of Mother Earth—nothing soothes quite like water. Whether you’re in a big city, landlocked or just want to bring the sound a little closer to your ear, here’s a playlist of water recordings designed to help calm you down and drift off to sleep.

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.

’90s Rock Essentials

by Apple Music Rock

The line between alternative and mainstream rock was especially blurry in the ’90s. Chalk that up first to Nirvana: The Seattle trio shook commercial rock out of its doldrums and brought underground punk into the spotlight with their gleefully noisy 1991 major-label debut, Nevermind. However, it’s clearer today how much the ’90s modern-rock explosion owed to traditional classic rock. Grunge-associated artists such as Pearl Jam, Alice In Chains, and Soundgarden took cues from Led Zeppelin’s blues-oriented heft; mischievous punks Green Day loved more melodic British Invasion fare such as The Beatles and The Kinks. In hindsight, it's also no wonder so many veteran bands connected with a younger generation of fans. Seventies rockers Aerosmith and Tom Petty embraced big-budget MTV videos and vibey, laidback folk-rock, respectively, while ’80s-era bands favored reinvention: Metallica polished their trademark thrash into menacing hard rock on their blockbuster 1991 self-titled album, and both R.E.M. and U2 toyed with new sounds and slippery identities.

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.

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.

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.

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”).

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.
