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

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

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 <i>Messy</i> 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 <i>The Art of Loving</i>.
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.

Mit ihrem Hit „Ain’t In LA“ vom Debütalbum „PRIMA“ schaffte es die Slowakin als erste Künstlerin ihres Landes in die US Billboard Hot 100. Damit verkörpert sie die Message des Songs perfekt: „It’s All A Lie, The Baddest Bitches Ain’t In L.A.“ („Alles gelogen, die krassesten Frauen sind nicht in L.A.“) Diese Playlist wird regelmäßig neu für dich zusammengestellt.

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.

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.

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 <I>Abbey Road</I> track “Sun King”).<br>
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 <I>Rumours</I>, 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.<br>
But the band were eager to play against pop-star type—1979’s double-album colossus <I>Tusk</I> 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 <I>Mirage</I> and <I>Tango in the Night</I> 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.

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.

Melodic, gritty and anxious, Fontaines D.C. give off a DIY vibe that reaches back to the birth of post-punk. The guitars slash like razor wire, the drums pound like pistons and singer Grian Chatten is as nihilistic and monotone as he is clever and poetic. The band hail from Dublin, and that’s central to their sound and evolution. Crank just about any tune in their catalogue, whether it’s their 2018 debut single “Liberty Belle” or the wiry breakout hit “A Hero’s Death”, and the mind can’t help but form romantic images of dingy Irish pubs packed with disaffected youth all manically nodding their heads to Fontaines D.C.’s odes to alienation.

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 <i>hungover</i> (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 <i>Dandelion</i>—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.”

Everything about Bon Jovi is huge—the choruses, the sales numbers, the riffs, the arenas—and they earned their place in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame with explosive tunes that command singalongs. But when Jon Bon Jovi formed the band with guitarist Richie Sambora, bassist Alec Such and drummer Tico Torres in New Jersey in 1983, the biggest thing about them was their hair. They were a glammy pop-metal outfit who found themselves going from their local clubs to touring alongside Scorpions and Kiss on the strength of both their heartthrob looks and the 1984 Top 40 hit “Runaway” and its relentlessly catchy, New Wave keyboard line. With 1986’s <I>Slippery When Wet<I>, which broadened their arsenal with twangy power ballads (“Wanted Dead or Alive”) and working-class rock anthems in the Springsteen mould (“Livin’ On a Prayer”), they became MTV staples and global icons. As they aged ever-gracefully, Jon dabbled in acting—he had a recurring part on television’s <I>Ally McBeal</I>, among other roles—and the band continued reaching younger fans with 2000’s Max Martin-assisted “It’s My Life”, while later taking a stab at country on 2007’s <I>Lost Highway</I>, which featured guest spots from Leann Rimes and Big & Rich. But it’s the enduring lyrics of struggle and heartache and the eminently shoutable hooks that keep the fans coming in droves, whether or not they were alive for the days of spandex.

Als im Sommer 1994 mit „Definitely Maybe“ das Debütalbum von Oasis erschien, war die Band um Gitarrist und Songwriter Noel Gallagher und seinen Bruder und Sänger Liam längst eine Sensation in UK. Eine Reihe herausragender Singles und ihr auf Krawall gebürstetes Auftreten hatten die Jungs aus Manchester zu Lieblingen von Fans und Regenbogenpresse gemacht. Mit dem Nachfolger „(What's The Story) Morning Glory?“ und einem famosen Kleinkrieg mit den Kollegen von Blur wurden Oasis endgültig zu Superstars – ein Status, dem sie bis zur Auflösung der Band im Jahr 2009 nachlaufen sollten.

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.

Brooklyn’s Shawn “JAŸ-Z” Carter had already been a well-charting rapper for a few years when he levelled up with his 1998 breakthrough, the <i>Annie</i>-sampling “Hard Knock Life (Ghetto Anthem)”. But that sizeable hit allowed the former drug dealer to fully graduate “from grams to Grammys”—as he later rapped—and make a convincing case for being the world’s greatest MC. While early hits like 2000’s “Big Pimpin’” leaned hard into that street cred, by the following year he had perfected his self-mythologised image as an unbeatable rapper turned cigar-puffing mogul with “Izzo (H.O.V.A.)” and its culture-shifting source album <i>The Blueprint</i>. Carter’s dream combination of lyrical dexterity, commercial polish, unshakeable swagger and artistic risk-taking came through in repeat collabs with rising producers like Kanye West and Just Blaze, not to mention such industry mainstays as Timbaland on “Dirt off Your Shoulder” and Rick Rubin on “99 Problems”, both from 2004.
With 2009’s Alicia Keys teamup “Empire State of Mind”, Carter proved that he could command a pop smash while retaining his hip-hop bona fides and shrugging off multiple would-be retirements. He continued to work with West even after the latter had become a rapper and household name in his own right, leading to multiple hits like 2011’s “Ni**as in Paris” and “Otis”. Even once Carter slowed down in the years since 2013’s Justin Timberlake collab “Holy Grail”, he has remained a very visible public supporter of his wife Beyoncé and a permanent fixture on rap’s Mount Rushmore.

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.

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'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.

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”).

Nach seinen Anfängen in der Crew D12 produzierte Eminem unter dem Alter Ego Slim Shady seine erste gleichnamige EP. Wie es das Schicksal so wollte, bekam Dr. Dre das Tape in die Hände und nahm den Rapper aus Detroit sofort unter Vertrag. 1999 gelang Eminem mit einem raffinierten, völlig neuen Rap-Stil und Tabuthemen als Lyrics der Durchbruch. Nach musikalischer Pause meldete sich Slim Shady 2018 unangekündigt mit dem Album „Kamikaze“ zurück, gefolgt von „Music To Be Murdered By“ zwei Jahre später. Damit trat er dem exklusiven Club von Künstlern wie den Beatles und Elvis Presley bei, die mindestens zehn Nummer-eins-Alben vorweisen können – auf kontroverse Lyrics verzichtete der Rapper dabei auch dieses Mal nicht.

Armed with a mesmerising soprano, Ariana Grande began her career as a child star on Broadway and Nickelodeon before evolving into a pop and R&B powerhouse. Across albums and hit singles—starting with 2013’s R&B jam “The Way” (featuring Mac Miller) and expanding into EDM with Zedd’s “Break Free”, retro-soul on “Dangerous Woman” and diva trap-pop like “7 Rings”—she has consistently commanded the spotlight while using her stardom for activism.
Grande’s pop journey has grown inward, using music as a therapeutic tool for spiritual growth. The Max Martin-produced “no tears left to cry”, which followed a deadly attack at one of her 2017 concerts, offered hope and healing. And after the loss of her ex-boyfriend Mac Miller in 2018, <i>thank u, next</i> transformed heartbreak into catharsis with tracks like the graceful title hit. On 2020’s <i>Positions</i>, she blends sensuality (“34+35”) with self-assurance. And on 2024's <i>eternal sunshine</i>, she gives a quick wave to critics over the pulsing house groove of “yes, and?”.

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 <I>DeAnn</I>) 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, 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.

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.

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, <i>19</i> (which featured the brassy “Chasing Pavements”), and 2011’s <i>21</i> (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 <i>X Factor</i> ad break, unveiling her third album, <i>25</i>, 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 <i>30</i>, which grappled with motherhood, the aftermath of her divorce and—perhaps most surprisingly—happiness amid life’s upheavals.

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.

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.

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 <i>Fine Line</i>, 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 <i>Harry’s House</i>, 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.

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 <i>Future Nostalgia</i> 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 <i>Barbie</i>-inspired hit “Dance the Night” built naturally upon her savvy disco revisionism. By the time of 2024’s <i>Radical Optimism</i>, 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.

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 Voice was Whitney Houston's nickname, a faculty recast as a superlative because the pop-R&B powerhouse was in possession of her generation's most quintessential one. With a three-octave span inherited from her gospel-performer mother, she had a voice that rang with a bell's clarity and a pearl's elegance. But it was also forceful. Houston didn't wield it so much as pilot it—on “Saving All My Love For You” like a hot-air balloon; on “I Will Always Love You” like a 747.

Drum 'n' bass is alive and well in the hands of Chase & Status. Formed in 2003, Saul Milton (Chase) and Will Kennard (Status) invaded the dance charts in the mid-'00s with aggressive early singles like "Pieces" and "Sell Me Your Soul". Folding elements of hip-hop and pop into their sound, Chase & Status have gone onto collaborate with such stars as Cee Lo Green and Rihanna. Their second studio album, No More Idols, features everything from pounding dubstep to soaring breakbeats, plus the occasional acoustic guitar.

Born in 1991 in Halifax, England, Ed Sheeran started out gigging on the UK pub circuit before releasing his first studio album, <i>+</i>, 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: <i>−</i>, a vulnerable album about grief and depression, and <i>Autumn Variations</i>, featuring collaborations with Aaron Dessner of The National.

Drake officially became the voice of a generation with 2011’s sumptuous <i>Take Care</i>, 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.

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, <i>Divinely Uninspired to a Hellish Extent</i>, 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 <i>Broken by Desire to Be Heavenly Sent</i>, 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.

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 <i>Back in Black</i>, a slab of brutal crunch and hip-shaking smut that turned them into permanent arena titans.

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.

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 <i>Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not</i> 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 <i>Humbug</i> they sought riff-thickening advice from Queens of the Stone Age leader Josh Homme—see the brooding menace of “Crying Lightning"—while 2013’s <i>AM</i> 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.

London-born singer-songwriter SIENNA SPIRO first started building a fandom on TikTok, sharing covers and original songs on the platform when she was a teenager. Separating her from the rest of the pack is a soulful, smoky voice and the type of songwriting that feels decades beyond her age. Over the course of 2024, she dropped singles like breakout hit “MAYBE.” that helped transform her viral fame into something bigger. Those singles turned into her debut EP, 2025’s <i>SINK NOW, SWIM LATER</i>, a minimalist, stripped-back collection that traverses the complicated emotions that follow a life-changing heartbreak. But Spiro still has more to say. Her standalone singles “You Stole the Show” and “Die on This Hill” would follow the EP, further cementing her status as a rising star.

For Queen, rock was merely a jumping-off point. Formed in London in 1970, singer Freddie Mercury, guitarist Brian May, drummer Roger Taylor and bassist John Deacon built high-octane pop songs out of parts boosted from classical music, dance music, doo-wop, New Wave, metal and opera, forging one of the most distinctive and distinguished catalogues in modern music history. They wrote complex songs but always winked at their own penchant for excess, best captured on 1975’s audacious <i>A Night at the Opera</i>, which featured “Bohemian Rhapsody”, a six-minute mini-opera and an unlikely hit.
As their career progressed and their popularity soared, they perfected less complex styles, scoring their biggest hit with the indelible groove of 1980’s “Another One Bites the Dust”. (“We Are the Champions” and “We Will Rock You”, from 1977, will be around as long as sporting arenas of any kind exist.) Their success continued through the ’80s, even as Mercury was quietly living with AIDS. After his death in 1991, Queen carried on in various forms, with Paul Rodgers and Adam Lambert taking turns in front for tours and new recordings.

Olivia Rodrigo’s star began its ascent long before <i>SOUR</i>’s release in 2021: She grew up in Temecula, California, taking piano and voice lessons, and she drew on both her acting and musical chops in her first big gigs, the Disney Channel’s series <i>Bizaardvark</i> and then the leading role in Disney+’s <i>High School Musical: The Musical: The Series</i>. Behind the scenes of her budding small-screen career, she wrote, wrote, and wrote some more—in her journals and at the piano, too.</br>
“I guess I’d been writing songs forever, like since I could talk, before I could actually write them down on paper,” she tells Apple Music. “But I learned how to play piano when I was nine, and so I started writing songs on piano then. That kind of made it like a real song, I suppose. I think songwriting’s always been my first love, and that’s the thing that I identify the most with and take the most seriously in my life.”</br>
By the time she went through a terrible breakup at 17, her notebook and piano were waiting for her. “drivers license”, her debut single, arrived 8 January 2021, and listeners immediately found themselves rapt in the passenger seat of her post-heartbreak journey. “drivers license” managed to telegraph exactly how Rodrigo felt while tapping into something bigger than her own hurt. When she sings of driving through familiar neighbourhoods and reminisces about the plans for the future she made with her ex before he moved on to the next girl, we feel the blinking signals and turns on our own familiar rides home, the accelerations past the memories too raw to revisit. And devastating though it may be, “drivers license” broke hearts and the charts at the same time: It was an immediate No. 1, and soon the world was sobbing along to Rodrigo’s not-so-inner monologue far from the familiar streets of her past.</br>
From “drivers license” to pop-punk kiss-off anthem “good 4 u” and the folk-tinged closer, “hope ur ok”, each track on <i>SOUR</i> touched on a different memory or emotion as she stitched her heart back together, verse by verse, earning her 2021 Apple Music Awards for Top Album, Top Song and Breakthrough Artist. Considering how trauma, grief, loss, fear, anger and uncertainty weighed heavily on the minds of, well, everyone in 2020 and 2021, it’s no wonder that Rodrigo’s words tapped into something universal and raw that resonated beyond her age group at exactly the right time. It didn’t matter if you were old enough to teach driver’s ed instead of taking it: Everyone could picture themselves sobbing in the car, screaming into a hairbrush in front of a mirror, or releasing the tension of a love gone bad with <i>SOUR</i> blasting through the speakers, and the catharsis that came from that was one she was eager to share.</br>
“Even going throughout my daily life, I’ll get a coffee, and some girl’s like, ‘I’m going through a breakup and your records are really, really helping me!’ That means, like, so much more than any number on a screen could ever mean.”

São mais de 60 anos de história: o rock 'n' roll surgiu para revolucionar a música e a sociedade e esse continua sendo seu grande trunfo. Essa trajetória precisou, em especial, dos rebeldes que estão nesta playlist: eles puderam definir o que as gerações seguintes entenderiam do gênero. Assim, esses pioneiros se tornaram clássicos: em suas músicas, eles demarcaram de que forma as guitarras são tocadas, como as baterias incendeiam o público e como outros estilos, como blues, pop, new wave e soul, puderam ser incorporados de forma a se tornarem parceiros de um verdadeiro sucesso roqueiro.

Ein Klavier, behutsam angeschlagen. Einige Gitarrenakkorde. Manchmal auch ein paar sanfte Bläser. Dazu ein dezenter Beat irgendwo zwischen Chillout-Sounds, Hip-Hop und Jazz. Elemente wie diese werden in Lo-Fi-Tracks so kombiniert, als käme die Musik aus einer anderen Welt. So entsteht ein musikalischer Hintergrund, der beides kann: Er hilft dabei, sich zu konzentrieren, etwa bei der Arbeit oder beim Lernen. Aber auch, wer nach einem harten Tag Entspannung sucht, liegt bei den Tracks dieser Playlist genau richtig.

Nobody makes feeling bad sound as good as The Weeknd. Even the singer’s sunniest tracks (“Can’t Feel My Face”, “Starboy”) feel anchored by darkness—the sense that pleasure is pain and beauty decays and you can’t have the night without the morning after. The brainchild of Toronto singer Abel Tesfaye, the project took off in 2011 with a string of mixtapes that forged cavernous, falsetto-driven R&B with narratives drenched in drugs, sex and other regrettable decisions—a sound both sensuous and detached, feather-light and dead heavy.
His music has become a symbol of hedonism pushed to bleak excess, with songs—“The Hills”, “Often”, “Earned It (Fifty Shades of Grey)”, “After Hours”—whose narrators can’t seem to say no even if they’ll hate themselves for it later. And though the sound has gotten a little brighter over time (“In Your Eyes”, “Take My Breath”), the prevailing mood remains heavy, even unsettling—the ride you want more of even when you’ve had too much.

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.

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.
