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.

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.

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.

Acoustic Hits

by Apple Music Pop

Ein guter Song braucht keine extravagante Produktion, um bestehen zu können.

Ihre Songs scheinen in einem gedimmten Licht und zeigen so ganz neue Qualitäten. Diese Playlist wird ständig für dich aktualisiert – speichere deine Favoriten also am besten sofort ab!

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.

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.

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.

R&B Now

by Apple Music R&B

Spätestens zu Beginn der Neunziger trat der moderne R&B seinen Siegeszug als verbindendes Element zwischen Mainstream und Underground an: Klassische R&B-Rhythmen prägten einen schillernden Style mit Anleihen aus Rap, Electronica, Neo-Soul und Pop. Im stets spannenden und visionären Miteinander treffen hier die Gigant:innen des Genres auf innovative Künstler:innen aus Gegenwart und Zukunft.

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.

Drum 'n' Bass

by Apple Music Dance

Bassmusik-Stile kommen und gehen, doch Drum 'n' Bass bleibt.

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.

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.

Oasis Essentials

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.”

Sam Fender Essentials

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”.

Coldplay Essentials

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.

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.

UK Rap List

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.

Afrobeats Hits

by Apple Music Afrobeats

Vertreter aus verschiedensten Ländern Afrikas und aus der weltweiten afrikanischen Diaspora widmen sich hier pulsierenden Percussions, lyrischen Highlife-Motiven sowie Funk und Jazz werden dabei auch hier um Trap und Dancehall ergänzt.

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.

Baby Sleep

by Apple Music Kids

Teddy Swims Essentials

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”).

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.

Sabrina Carpenter Essentials

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.

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.

Céline Dion Essentials

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.

Alex Warren Essentials

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.

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.

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.

Pop Throwback

by Apple Music Pop

Here’s a time capsule of pop classics that sound as good now as the day they dropped. Whether you’re taking a trip down memory lane or visiting for the first time, let this mix be your guide. Our editors update these selections regularly, so if you hear something you like (whether it’s a forgotten favourite or a new discovery), add it to your library.

’60s Hits Essentials

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.

Harry Styles Essentials

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.

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.

Gute Laune

by Apple Music Pop

„Hey Siri, spiel die ‚Gute Laune‘-Playlist.“

Pure Chill

by Apple Music Chill

From mesmerising electronica to gently shimmering indie-rock via soothing acoustic pop, this diverse collection is your escape route from the stresses and strains of the daily grind. Our editors regularly update this playlist—if you hear something you like, add it to your library.

Ibiza Essentials

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.

Adele Essentials

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.

Pure Party

by Apple Music Party

100% unfiltered good times. Soak it in.

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. Our editors do move things around now and then, so if you hear something you like, add it to your library. Then turn off, relax and float downstream.

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.

Elvis Presley Essentials

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.

Dua Lipa Essentials

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.

’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.

Bedtime Beats

by Apple Music Einschlafen

Der Mond steht hoch am Himmel, es ist spät, die Welt schläft. Ja, es war ein langer Tag. Hier ist ein Mix aus entspanntem Hip-Hop ohne Worte zum Abschalten und Einschlafen. Unsere Redaktion aktualisiert die Auswahl regelmäßig, also such dir etwas aus, was dir gefällt. Mit anderen Worten: etwas, womit du sanft ins Reich der Träume entgleitest. Du musst dich morgen früh nur daran erinnern können, um es deiner Mediathek hinzuzufügen.

The Prodigy Essentials

by Apple Music Electronic

The Prodigy are electronic punks, and their untamed fusion of rock, rave and rap is both thrillingly antisocial and downright snotty. This attitude started in the illicit glee of their early breakbeat techno creations, such as “Out of Space”, and intensified as Liam Howlett incorporated other sounds: chugging metal guitars in “Breathe”; colossal and dirty hip-hop beats in “Poison”; and industrial screeches across everything else. The late, great Keith Flint completes the unsettling effect, with a sneering lead vocal on “Firestarter” that gave the band its trademark sound.

LINKIN PARK Essentials

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.

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.

Phil Collins Essentials

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.

The Agenda

by Apple Music Hip-Hop

24/7, 365, we deliver you the tracks and artists setting The Agenda. This week, that means an Avengers-like lineup of JAE5, Skepta, Lojay and Skillibeng, who’ve all come together for JAE5’s “MINK SB”. Hear it on The Agenda now, alongside everything else making noise across the Black music diaspora, and if you hear something you like, add it to your library.

Lewis Capaldi Essentials

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.

Jazz Chill

by Apple Music Jazz

Relax and reflect with selections from the quieter side of jazz. Our editors regularly update this playlist—if you hear something you like, add it to your library.

Fred again.. Essentials

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.

Pure Motivation

by Apple Music Pop

Manchmal reicht schon der richtige Beat, um endlich von der Couch hochzukommen und aktiv zu werden. Vertrackte Elektro-Rhythmen, tiefe Hip-Hop-Bassdrums und peitschende Drumcomputer-Bits sorgen dafür, dass deine To-do-Liste etwas übersichtlicher wird. Diese Playlist wird regelmäßig neu zusammengestellt – speichere deine persönlichen Favoriten also am besten sofort.

UB40 Essentials

by Apple Music Reggae

Only the '80s could have produced a multi-ethnic British reggae band that used dulcet keys and ska-style guitar to turn classics like "I Got You Babe" and "Red Red Wine" completely upside down. Led by Ali Campbell, a singer with a trembling, melancholic voice, UB40 made almost every tune they touched sound lilting and sweet—including those they wrote themselves. With the appropriately named "Sing Our Own Song", for instance, they penned a tribute to the anti-apartheid rebels in South Africa, bigging-up self-determination over a long groove that bounces synth melodies off a buoyant bassline.

Good Vibes Only

Naija Hits

by Apple Music African

From Afrobeats and Afropop chartbusters to funk-inflected hip-hop beats straight out of the Lagos underground, this playlist has it all. The who's who of Nigeria's song-writing elite and the savvy, experimental young voices on the rise come together to serve up this genre-crossing blend of the most magnetic Naija hits. This playlist is updated regularly—if you like a song, add it to your library.

RAYE Essentials

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.
