Michael Jackson Essentials

195290

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.

Olivia Dean Essentials

113720

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.

Taylor Swift Essentials

39500

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.

Justin Bieber Essentials

39120

by Apple Music Pop

Justin Bieber is one of the few pop stars of his generation to have truly grown up in public. The Canada-born singer arrived in 2009 at age 15, lending his baby-faced image and voice alike to collabs with rap and R&B royalty like Ludacris (“Baby”) and USHER (“Somebody to Love”). More than just catnip for pre-teens, he proved himself as a chart-topping balladeer with 2012’s “Boyfriend”, while still playing well with rappers on the same year’s Nicki Minaj-assisted “Beauty and a Beat”. But Bieber’s biggest smashes were still ahead of him, thanks to a post-teen career reset in 2015 that began with the ubiquitous Skrillex and Diplo teamup “Where Are Ü Now” and hit properly with his fourth album. Purpose yielded multiple diamond-certified singles, including the clubby mea culpa “Sorry” and the weepy farewell “Love Yourself”. Bieber didn’t slow down from there, reteaming with “Love Yourself” co-writer Ed Sheeran for the jaunty dancehall flirtations of 2019’s “I Don’t Care” and enlisting Migos leader Quavo for the feathery R&B of 2020’s “Intentions”. After cementing his adult identity as a sensitive singer who can make a meal of either comforting arrangements or edgy electronics, Bieber sounds equally at home on “STAY”—passing the torch of young talent to The Kid LAROI—and the beachy future soul of “Peaches”, both from 2021. He’s still maturing in real time in front of the whole world, and we’re still hanging on his every word.

Die Zusammenstellung wird regelmäßig aktualisiert – speichere deine neuen Favoriten also am besten sofort ab.

Bad Bunny Essentials

27720

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.“

R&B Now

26060

by Apple Music R&B

Wo R&B heute steht und wohin das Genre sich entwickelt, hörst du hier. Diese Woche steht Tyla mit „RIGHT NOW“ aus ihrem Album „A*POP“ im Rampenlicht. Die südafrikanische Sängerin hat die Spielchen in einer komplizierten Beziehung satt und sehnt sich nach Nähe im Hier und Jetzt: „I just wanna lay in the bed we made/We ain't gotta talk about yesterday“ („Ich will einfach nur in dem Bett liegen, das wir gemacht haben / Wir müssen nicht über gestern reden“), singt sie und fordert damit Klarheit statt Zögern. „R&B Now“ wird regelmäßig aktualisiert. Wenn dir also ein Song gefällt, füge ihn am besten sofort deiner Mediathek hinzu.

Luke Combs Essentials

24990

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.

Drum 'n' Bass

by Apple Music Dance

Bassmusik-Stile kommen und gehen, doch Drum 'n' Bass bleibt. Seit sich der Breakbeat-Sound mit den hohen BPM-Zahlen in den Neunzigern aus der UK-Hardcore- und Jungle-Szene entwickelte, hat vor allem Großbritannien eine aktive Szene, die aus Tradition in die Zukunft blickt.

Fleetwood Mac Essentials

23850

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.

Harry Styles Essentials

23850

by Apple Music Pop

Gravity has never held back Harry Styles, who achieved teen superstardom in One Direction and then transitioned remarkably well into solo fame just a year after the London boy band parted ways. His 2017 solo debut “Sign of the Times” was a tender piano ballad that hinted at much grander sonic ambitions, thanks in part to producer Jeff Bhasker. The same year’s self-titled album tousled his squeaky-clean image nicely with the squalling, leather-jacketed blues of “Kiwi” and Beatles-esque psych-pop of “Carolina”. His second album, 2019’s Fine Line, took his razor-sharp songwriting and casual vocal conviction to imaginative new heights, yielding the dizzying romance of “Adore You” and sensory delights of “Watermelon Sugar”. Styles felt even more comfortably himself on 2022’s quaintly titled Harry’s House, adding some wryly meta third-person lyrics about himself amid the synth-pop effervescence of “As It Was” before nailing ticklish R&B on “Late Night Talking” and channelling Prince (not for the first time) on “Music for a Sushi Restaurant”. Through it all, he cherry-picks freely from the past while still feeling refreshingly modern in his production and aesthetic choices. Yet he’s never without sincere emotion: Styles may be a reborn sonic adventurer, but he still has a pop star’s beating heart.

Zach Bryan Essentials

23850

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.

Feeling Happy

“Hey Siri, play the Feeling Happy playlist.”

Oasis Essentials

23830

by Apple Music Alternative

Some bands spend years chasing stardom, while others seem to will it into existence. That was certainly the case with Manchester’s Oasis, who named the first track on their debut album, Definitely Maybe, “Rock ’n’ Roll Star” as if stardom was preordained. Arriving at the peak of alt-rock, Oasis’ 1994 debut countered the introspective angst of grunge with a bird-flipping retort that combined the melodicism of The Beatles, the swagger of T. Rex, the sneer of the Sex Pistols and the danceable grooves of The Stone Roses. The result: sleazy anthems such as “Cigarettes & Alcohol” and “Supersonic” and celebratory tunes like “Live Forever”. The group’s sound—and the tension between songwriter Noel Gallagher and his brash vocalist brother, Liam—evoked the sibling drama of The Kinks. Definitely Maybe debuted at No. 1 on the UK charts, casting Oasis as the bad boys of Britpop, a role they embraced with their tabloid spats with Blur. But 1995’s follow-up, (What’s the Story) Morning Glory?, made them a global phenomenon thanks to karaoke-ready sing-alongs like “Wonderwall”, “Champagne Supernova” and “Don’t Look Back in Anger”. The Gallaghers’ ever-fraught relationship would sink Oasis in 2009, but in 2024, they announced a reunion tour for the following year, sharing on social media, “The guns have fallen silent. The stars have aligned.”

Teddy Swims Essentials

23750

by Apple Music Pop

With a voice that can soothe and soar at once, Georgia native Teddy Swims (born Jaten Dimsdale) began building up a massive following in 2019 and 2020, laying down an impressive range of covers, including a soulful rendering of Shania Twain’s “You’re Still the One” and a country-tinged twist on The Weeknd’s “Blinding Lights”. But once he began to show off his songwriting prowess, too, there was no stopping him. Swims lights up anything he touches, whether it’s an electro-powered anthem (“All That Really Matters” with ILLENIUM), rip-roaring clap-along (“Broke” feat. Thomas Rhett), or warm slice of vintage soul (“2 Moods”).

Sam Fender Essentials

23650

by Apple Music Alternative

Sam Fender wears his conscience like a shield, and his raw voice is a scream of fervent feeling that cuts across violently bruised indie-rock songs. First tipped for stardom by the BBC’s Sound of 2018 list, the North Shields singer has used his platform to release a series of intensely rowdy tunes bolstered by confrontational lyrics⁠—see the biting, tongue-in-cheek satire of “Millennial”. Fender has continued to explore his social conscience ever since, with his outspoken attitude most powerfully exemplified by the provocative despair of “White Privilege” or the boiling, seething passion of “Hypersonic Missiles”.

Céline Dion Essentials

23600

by Apple Music Pop

Céline Dion's tremulous purr is one of the most instantly recognisable voices in popular music, taking her from teen francophone fame to global superstardom. Her songs are an exquisite fusion of the redemptive power of soul music (gospel in particular), the immaculate melodic beauty of Broadway showtunes and the keening melancholy of French chanson. But the thoroughbred perfection of that voice, at its most powerful and supple in the emotive power ballads—including the Titanic soundtrack's colossal “My Heart Will Go On”—is what made her a household name.

UK Rap List

23590

by Apple Music Hip-Hop

Welcome to UK Rap List, where elite MCs represent the essence of UK rap culture. This week, that means Headie One’s “Turnt to a Target”, a Madenka and FXLICIA-produced single where the North London MC reflects on what it’s like to do so well that your success brings unwanted attention. Listen to “Turnt to a Target” on UK Rap List now, and if you hear something you like, add it to your library.

Bruno Mars Essentials

23580

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.

Afrobeats Hits

23530

by Apple Music Alternative

Kaum eine andere Band lässt sich so sehr mit dem neuen Millennium verbinden wie Coldplay. 2000 traten die Briten um Sänger Chris Martin mit ihrem Debütalbum „Parachutes“ und dessen Singles eine Welle los, die das Quartett rasch zu einem der erfolgreichsten Acts der vergangenen Jahre machte und es in die Sphären von Vorbildern wie Radiohead und U2 hob. In der folgenden Zeit eilte die Band von Erfolg zu Erfolg, erweiterte ihren ruhigen Sound um kleine Electronic-Komponenten, wurde zur erfolgreichsten Stadionband des frühen 21. Jahrhunderts und beeinflusst damit zahlreiche andere Musiker.

Dua Lipa Essentials

23450

by Apple Music Pop

Even when the mood dips, you can expect Dua Lipa’s euphoric pop to land back on the bright side eventually. After her 2017 self-titled debut established her as an outspoken, effortlessly cool face of pop’s future on airy tracks like “New Rules”, 2020’s Future Nostalgia and its funky calling card “Don’t Start Now” provided a uniting force of positivity at the dawn of global lockdowns. Her nonchalant confidence has made her a versatile collaborator with everyone from DJ superstar Calvin Harris (2018’s “One Kiss”) to reggaetón royalty J Balvin (2021’s “UN DIA [ONE DAY]”), and 2023’s Barbie-inspired hit “Dance the Night” built naturally upon her savvy disco revisionism. By the time of 2024’s Radical Optimism, Lipa had her absolute pick of creative partners—and she chose Tame Impala’s Kevin Parker. While their team-up retains the glide and snap of classic dance pop on “Houdini” and “Illusion”, the lyrics probe deeper into her personal experience, bringing an unmistakable glint of honesty to diva-level pop radiance.

2010s Hits Essentials

23370

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.

Ed Sheeran Essentials

23250

by Apple Music Pop

Born in 1991 in Halifax, England, Ed Sheeran started out gigging on the UK pub circuit before releasing his first studio album, +, in 2011. Sheeran kept up the mathematical theme on subsequent album titles as he became one of the most unstoppable singer-songwriters in music, forging a light, polished blend of folk, pop and hip-hop that feels bittersweet and redemptive, intimate yet universal. Whether on his own songs (“Sing”, “The A Team”, “Shape of You”, “Perfect”) or in collaboration with artists such as Taylor Swift, Chance the Rapper and Beyoncé, Sheeran strikes a chord that feels good-natured and genuine: He’s the hopeless romantic who isn’t afraid to be vulnerable and show you his heart. Perhaps even more important, Sheeran isn’t afraid to take chances. His 2021 smash “Bad Habits” dabbled in modern dance-pop, while in 2023, he released two albums: −, a vulnerable album about grief and depression, and Autumn Variations, featuring collaborations with Aaron Dessner of The National.

Elvis Presley Essentials

23250

by Apple Music Oldies

There’s a good reason why the King of Rock ’n’ Roll couldn't stop swivelling his hips: his music swings with soul. His ‘50s hits “That’s All Right” and the haunted “Mystery Train” are grooving rockabilly showcasing his brash musicianship. In the ‘60s, this stylistic chameleon adopted a big, absurdly romantic baritone and excelled at lush, dramatic ballads like “It’s Now or Never”. Toward the decade’s end, Presley re-embraced pure rock with “Suspicious Minds”—a galloping, desperation-stained masterpiece reflective of his late-career love for Southern soul.

LINKIN PARK Essentials

23080

by Apple Music Hard Rock

Es sind die Gegensätze, die LINKIN PARK ausmachen. Da treffen messerscharfe Gitarrenriffs auf groß angelegte Refrains und Electronica-Einflüsse. Da stehen die Raps von Mike Shinoda neben dem hochemotionalen Gesang von Chester Bennington. Die Kalifornier wendeten diese Erfolgsformel erstmals auf ihrem 2000 erschienenen Debüt „Hybrid Theory“ an – bis zu Chester Benningtons Tod 2017 perfektionierten sie sie auf sechs weiteren Alben. Diese Playlist ist Spiegelbild des immensen musikalischen Einflusses einer der größten Bands überhaupt, insbesondere auf Nu Metal und Alternative Rock.

Adele Essentials

22820

by Apple Music Pop

The singer born Adele Adkins honed her now legendary voice as a kid in her South London bedroom, listening to Etta James every night for an hour. But as soon as she made her television debut at age 19 in 2007, all potential comparisons evaporated: This girl with whopping hoop earrings and a pub landlady’s brashness had something unique. Heartbreak, indignation and regret all found a natural home in her regal mezzo-soprano, the instrument that powered her 2008 debut album, 19 (which featured the brassy “Chasing Pavements”), and 2011’s 21 (the fiery “Rolling in the Deep”, the heart-wrenching "Someone Like You"). It took just one word to reintroduce her in 2015: “Hello,” she sang during an X Factor ad break, unveiling her third album, 25, in the process. Songs like the swirling “Send My Love (To Your New Lover)” and the pensive “Water Under the Bridge” helped it become yet another global chart-topper. In 2021, Adele released 30, which grappled with motherhood, the aftermath of her divorce and—perhaps most surprisingly—happiness amid life’s upheavals.

’60s Hits Essentials

22460

by Apple Music Oldies

A musical revolution happened during the ‘60s. Distinctions between musical styles stopped mattering as fans began to get behind any song they liked, regardless of genre. The radio could have played an R&B song right after a surfer tune, as long as they were both popular. This was the birth of pop as we know it, and it saw the rise of acts like The Monkees, Dusty Springfield and Neil Diamond.

Eminem Essentials

22270

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.

Everyday Hits

by Apple Music Hits

From uplifting anthems to heart-rending ballads, here’s a playlist capturing the best of contemporary pop: bright, clean, fun and familiar. Because it just feels good. We regularly update these tunes, so if you like something you hear, add it to your library.

Lewis Capaldi Essentials

21280

by Apple Music Acoustic

Amidst the hyper-paced world of late-2010s pop, an unassuming Scottish singer-songwriter introduced a voice imbued with soulful grit and heartache on his 2017 breakup ballad “Bruises” and 2018’s equally tear-jerking “Someone You Loved”. Confirming that those singles were no fluke, Lewis Capaldi’s 2019 debut album, Divinely Uninspired to a Hellish Extent, fleshed out his sound with lush orchestration and gospel gravitas but retained his fearless flair for emotional dredging. Capaldi proved no less forthcoming on 2023’s Broken by Desire to Be Heavenly Sent, counterbalancing all his success with self-deprecating turns like “The Ancient Art of Always F*****g Up”. Though he declined to tour behind the album in order to improve his mental and physical health, that decisive step felt just as authentic as the doubt and passion he airs in his songs. On striking tracks such as “Love the Hell Out of You”, Capaldi provides a pure, unvarnished representation of pain and longing.

Phil Collins Essentials

20700

by Apple Music Pop

Phil Collins may have begun his career as a prog rocker, but his solo work is marked by a passion for pure pop. The Genesis drummer/vocalist played a key role in defining '80s music, thanks to his novel fusion of vintage soul, New Wave synth work, and dance-pop drum machine beats. The sublimely vaporous “In the Air Tonight” captures his vision at its darkest, whilst "Sussudio” is a relentlessly punchy expression of high-octane R&B. In the '90s and beyond, Collins expanded his style to include guitar-driven pop-rockers and the occasional lush, Broadway ballad.

This playlist is updated regularly—if you like a song, add it to your library.

Ella Langley Essentials

18920

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.”

Noah Kahan Essentials

18260

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.

Sabrina Carpenter Essentials

18230

by Apple Music Pop

Whip-smart lyricism, endlessly catchy hooks, endorsements from some of pop’s biggest names and a support slot for Taylor Swift on the biggest tour in history: Sabrina Carpenter had it all when she unleashed “Espresso”, the moreish hit that would dominate summer 2024 and propel her to pop’s top table. Then came the just as witty, Jack Antonoff-produced “Please, Please, Please”, which turned out to be that summer’s second biggest hit. It was Carpenter’s breakout moment, but it hardly came out of nowhere. Balancing her on-screen career as a Disney star with her slow-burn journey to pop stardom, the Pennsylvania singer-songwriter and actor explored dance-pop styles on 2015’s Eyes Wide Open and 2016’s EVOLution, trap and house on 2018 singles “Almost Love” the cheeky kiss off “Sue Me”, and a more reflective style on 2022 album emails I can’t send. It housed tracks including “Nonsense”, “Feather” and the headline-grabbing “because I liked a boy”. The record also featured a prophetic claim: “Woke up this morning, thought I’d write a pop hit.” Needless to say she did, with hits including “Taste” and “Bad Chem” following “Espresso”’s moment in the sun. Listen to all the songs—and every line of witty lyricism—that have made Carpenter a superstar here.

Fred again.. Essentials

18011

by Apple Music Electronic

Fred Gibson, aka Fred again.., is one of the best-connected house DJs in the game. Ambient royalty Brian Eno took him under his wing as a teenager, and the London producer has since worked with some of the biggest names around. Gibson’s songs consistently offer diary-like snapshots of a specific time and place, with his Actual Life album series even listing the exact date ranges of creation in their titles. On 2021’s pulsing 2-step track “Marea (We’ve Lost Dancing)”, The Blessed Madonna mourns for the fun halted by COVID-19, while 2022’s “Delilah (pull me out of this)” samples Delilah Montagu for similarly poignant results. “I’ve become really obsessed with…taking very fleeting moments and exposing as much beauty as is in them,” he told Apple Music’s Zane Lowe in 2022. He has very much continued to do that ever since, whether spotlighting Nigerian singer Obongjayar on 2023’s delicate valentine “adore u” or swinging in the opposite direction with the in-your-face swagger of 2025’s “Victory Lap”, a track that has earned multiple joyful permutations. Both a chameleonic creator and a consummate collaborator, Gibson zeroes in on little epiphanies that underscore the community-building inherent to dance music.

Ibiza Essentials

15640

by Apple Music Dance

The Spanish island of Ibiza has long been a haven for seekers of all sorts. As far back as the ’30s, Spaniards threatened by Francisco Franco's regime had been going there in search of political and sexual freedom. In the ’60s, hippies flocked to the White Isle to tap its supposed mystical powers (the island's sunsets are truly epic and elicit both tears and cheers at any outdoor gathering). And in the late ’80s, when British DJs such as Danny Rampling and Paul Oakenfold brought acid house back from clubs like Amnesia and Pacha, they kicked off a long-standing tradition of European partiers heading to the Med for a hedonistic holiday. While the Balearic sound—more a vibe than an actual genre, loosely threading together folk, New Age, soul, disco, psychedelia and dance music of all types—has become the island’s unofficial soundtrack, today, Ibiza's dance floors tend to favour the steady thump of deep house and melodic techno. But if you stay up late enough, you’ll still catch vestiges of that anything-goes Second Summer of Love—when 808 State mixed into Sade and Enya and no one batted an eye.

Alex Warren Essentials

15117

by Apple Music Acoustic

Shifting from internet prankster to sensitive singer isn’t the first thing on most people’s transformation bingo card, but when Alex Warren left the Hype House behind and turned to music, success followed. The California-born balladeer draws heavily on his own experiences in these tracks which touch on the pain of losing his parents and the joy of falling in love with his wife, Kouvr Annon. But he hasn’t left the online world behind completely: “Burning Down” went viral on TikTok before the wider world discovered and fell in love with it. Blockbuster hits “Ordinary” and “Carry You Home” were written for his wife and have resonated with romantics all over the world. “Yard Sale” sees him reminiscing after a breakup, while “Heaven Without You” is the ultimate pledge of eternal love. Shapeshifting from comedy content to heartfelt pop has proved a hit for Warren.

Drake Essentials

14640

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.

Calvin Harris’ Summer ’26 Playlist

14290

by Apple Music Summertime Sounds

“Here’s a playlist I put together full of feel-good tunes to soundtrack your summer,” Calvin Harris tells Apple Music. The Scottish DJ’s exclusive playlist features classic songs like Tuff Jam’s “Need Good Love” and Florence + the Machine’s “Spectrum”, plus a few tracks from Calvin himself.

Lo-Fi Chill

14150

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.

Ambient Sleep

14141

by Apple Music Sleep

Asked about the inspiration behind his eight-and-a-half-hour 2015 album Sleep, the composer and ambient musician Max Richter said it was pretty simple: Sleep is really important, and he really likes doing it. In that spirit, here’s a mix of contemporary and classic ambient music we feel is perfectly calibrated to smooth the passage between the stresses and noise of waking life and the quiet mystery of dreams. Tap in. Lie down. Tune out. Our editors switch up selections regularly here, so if you hear something you like—or, more pointedly, if you don’t hear it—then add it to your library.

Lullaby Essentials

14051

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.

Pure Meditation

14041

by Apple Music Wellbeing

Some moments require a soundtrack that lies lightly in the background without calling attention to itself. These calming tracks encompass gentle ambient music, acoustic new age, Tibetan prayer bowls and the occasional sounds of ocean waves and rainfall—a mix specifically designed to help you clear your mind. We regularly update this playlist. If you like a piece, add it to your library.

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

AC/DC Essentials

13610

by Apple Music Hard Rock

Storming out of Australia’s gritty pub scene in the mid ’70s, AC/DC are the undisputed champions of high-decibel boogie minimalism. Their mechanised swing, first anchored by the Young brothers’ razor-sharp riff dialogues, is so elemental that it essentially serves as the root DNA of the unholy trinity: heavy metal, hard rock and punk. Even when the quartet lost lewd and crude screamer Bon Scott in 1980, they didn’t miss a beat. Bringing in the raspy-throated Brian Johnson, they unleashed Back in Black, a slab of brutal crunch and hip-shaking smut that turned them into permanent arena titans.

RAYE Essentials

13404

by Apple Music R&B/Soul

Independent, chart-topping, award-winning: RAYE is all these things and more. Following her high-profile departure from her record label in 2021, her already well-established career has exploded with success (she won six BRIT Awards in 2024 alone), and the London-born singer-songwriter shows no signs of stopping. Having penned hits for acts such as Beyoncé, Little Mix and Anitta, RAYE’s versatility should come as no surprise. Highlights in her catalogue include the confessional breakout single, “Escapism.”—a trip-hop-influenced, starmaking collaboration with 070 Shake—and her rap-leaning turn on “Prada”, cassö’s bass-heavy dance flip of D-Block Europe’s “Ferrari Horses”. There’s also been a string of floor-fillers, from the snappy, Jax Jones-produced “You Don’t Know Me” to the flirtatious Joel Corry and David Guetta feature, “BED”, as well as “Genesis.”—a three-act trip through spoken word, hip-hop and jazz.

Ludovico Einaudi Essentials

13315

by Apple Music Classical

Einaudi stammt aus einer einflussreichen Familie und genoss bereits von Kindesbeinen an eine umfangreiche musikalische Ausbildung. Sein musisches Talent und Können konnte er so sorgfältig kultivieren und feierte seine ersten Erfolge mit Filmkompositionen, bevor er sich in den 1990ern dem Solo-Klavier widmete und die Möglichkeiten des modernen Pianos zwischen Minimalismus und Neuer Musik erkundete. Auch Einflüsse aus der Popmusik hört man in seinen subtil-epischen Klavierstücken, die Ludovico Einaudi mit einem romantischen Gestus im Stil von Philip Glass zu wundervoll magischen Stücken verschmilzt.

Bester Beweis dafür ist diese Playlist aus frisch veredelten Pop-, Hip-Hop-, Dance- und Rock-Tracks. Wenn du also etwas hörst, das dir gefällt, füge es deiner Mediathek hinzu.

Arctic Monkeys Essentials

11645

by Apple Music Alternative

Only 16 when he founded Sheffield, England’s Arctic Monkeys, Alex Turner swiftly established himself as a songwriter of uncommon wisdom and wit. That one-two punch helped make 2006’s Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not the fastest-selling debut album in UK history, armed with a scuffed earworm single in “I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor”. On 2009’s Humbug they sought riff-thickening advice from Queens of the Stone Age leader Josh Homme—see the brooding menace of “Crying Lightning"—while 2013’s AM cracked the US Top 10 (and later Apple Music’s 100 Best Albums list) with sing-along stompers naturally suited to festivals. Once they became one of the world’s biggest rock bands, the Monkeys proved they could also be among its most adventurous, with Turner crooning over darkly funky licks and intentionally drowsy arrangements on tracks like 2018’s “Four Out of Five” and 2022’s “There’d Better Be a Mirrorball”. Whatever the backdrop, Turner’s pen proves no less pointed as he settles confidently into middle age.

About All-Time Rankings

All-time rankings are calculated based on a playlist's chart performance history, including days in the top 100, top 10, top 3, and at #1. The score also considers peak rank achieved, streak bonuses for consecutive days charting, and recency.
