Bollywood Chill

by Apple Music Bollywood

Karan Aujla Essentials

by Apple Music Punjabi

After years steadily building a reputation as the go-to lyricist for Punjabi mainstays like Jazzy B, Bohemia and Jassie Gill, Karan Aujla stepped into his own in 2018. Teaming up with singer Gurlej Akhtar, he broke through with “Don’t Worry”—they would later reunite for hits like “Red Eyes” and “Haan Haige Aa”—and it established rousing conviction as his calling card across a raft of party anthems and forthright cuts. Whether it’s with buoyant, shimmering hip-hop (“Na Na Na”) or icy trap (“Black Money”), Aujla holds forth on the importance of perseverance in his booming croon.

Harris Jayaraj Essentials (Tamil)

by Apple Music Tamil

Harris Jayaraj pushed himself to accomplish at the highest levels from an early age. His father—a guitarist and composer—began his Carnatic training when Jayaraj was just six.

Rahman and Mani Sharma came knocking.

Kishore Kumar Essentials

by Apple Music Bollywood

Singer, actor, composer, lyricist, director, script writer, comedian—there were very few things that Kishore Kumar couldn’t do. Kumar was one of the greatest playback singers of the Indian film industry and was the first Hindi playback singer to yodel, as well as being one of the few singers who took risks and experimented with different styles of music.

Listen to our collection of timeless songs sung by this legendary singer of the Indian music industry.

Anirudh Ravichander Essentials

by Apple Music Tamil

Anirudh Ravichander found fame with the quirky, viral single “Why This Kolaveri Di?” and received critical acclaim for his work on David and Maan Karate. His film scores and viral sensations mash up traditional South Indian instruments and melodies with danceable rhythms, hip-hop swagger, big bass drops and metal-inspired attitude. Ravichander’s songs are the sound of modern Tamil cinema: bursting with colour, melodrama and escapism, respectful of the vibrant heritage but unafraid to shake up the status quo.

These instant classics of the 20th and 21st centuries bolster traditional Sufi devotionals and bhangra dance breaks with Western instrumentals and classical flourishes. Alongside these powerful fusions are songs influenced by international pop and hip-hop, befitting India's ties with both its own medley of cultures and its diaspora.

2000s Bollywood Essentials

by Apple Music Bollywood

It was perhaps inevitable that Hindi film soundtracks would attain a worldwide audience in the 2000s. As Bollywood broke out of India and collaborations became commonplace, film soundtracks reflected this global exposure with added R&B, rock and dance elements. Here's Bollywood in its most modern avatar.

Arijit Singh: Love Songs

by Apple Music Bollywood

’90s Bollywood Essentials

by Apple Music Bollywood

Romantic themes grew ever stronger through the '90s in Bollywood, and music fans were offered a wealth of soundtracks for lovers—witness the enduring appeal of songs from Hum Apke Hain Kaun, Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, Bombay and Rangeela. With prolific singers Alka Yagnik, Kumar Sanu and Udit Narayan at the helm, this was an era dedicated wholly and swooningly to pure romance.

Ultimate Bollywood

Bollywood produces thousands of films each year, and with only a fraction of these breaking big in India and abroad, there's a wealth of music beyond the hits. Unheralded cuts by household names, hip-hop and dance pop from new upstarts and more are waiting to be discovered. This playlist is updated regularly, so if you like a song, add it to your library.

Arijit Singh Essentials

by Apple Music Bollywood

One of the most distinctive male voices of contemporary Bollywood, Arijit Singh brings an intimate, husky timbre to breezy acoustic-driven pop and swelling, cinematic numbers marked by romantic strings and ethereal synths. While the playback singer's wheelhouse is the soul-stirring love ballad that marks many a heartfelt movie moment, Singh is a versatile performer who's as adept at poetic paeans as he is club thumpers, boisterous bhangra tracks, Punjabi folk and Arabic pop flavoured with his memorable vibrato.

’80s Tamil Essentials

by Apple Music Tamil

Legendary composer Ilaiyaraaja is inseparable from ’80s Tamil music. Hailed as a genius, many of his film songs from the era found acclaim, aided by powerhouse singers such as S. Janaki, K. J. Yesudas and S. P. Balasubrahmanyam. Romantic, patriotic and influenced by music of the West, these songs—and those inspired by them—soon became an unforgettable soundtrack to life in Tamil Nadu.

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.

2010s Telugu Essentials

by Apple Music Telugu

In the 2010s, Telugu film composers continued the tradition of inviting vocalists from across India to add a distinct, language-transcending touch—from singer-composer Anirudh Ravichander (more known for his work on Tamil soundtracks) to pop heartthrob Armaan Malik and playback star Amit Mishra. The likes of Devi Sri Prasad and Thaman S. floated rock, club-friendly electronic music and modern pop arrangements. And breaking talent included Sid Sriram, who climbed to the top with his Carnatic-trained harmonising that fuelled several indelible cross-genre hits.

2010s Tamil Essentials

by Apple Music Tamil

The ’10s saw a series of viral Tamil hits win legions of fans across India. Chennai’s greatest asset, filmi powerhouse A. R. Rahman, reached new romantic highs with the swooning, ’90s-laced soundtrack to Kaatru Veliyidai (2017), earning him a National Film Award for Best Music Direction. But the decade was also marked by young film composer Anirudh Ravichander’s meteoric rise. He debuted with a bang—the soundtrack to 3 (2011) included the folk-fuelled Tanglish smash “Why This Kolaveri Di”—and he followed up with a barrage of rap, rock and koothu-powered bangers featuring the likes of Dhanush.

Punjabi Hits: Best of 2025

by Apple Music Punjabi

Every year, Punjabi music grows stronger on a global scale. Take Punjabi-Canadian star AP Dhillon, whose pop and hip-hop output—not to mention collabs—led the way in 2025. From “Afsos” with Anuv Jain to “Thodi Si Daaru” with Shreya Ghoshal, Dhillon channelled both angst and calm in his singles, cementing his status as apex hitmaker.

’90s Telugu Essentials

by Apple Music Telugu

With more cross-genre experiments than ever before, Telugu music in the 1990s surged with refreshing energy.

A.R. Rahman Tamil Essentials

by Apple Music Tamil

Since bursting onto the scene for his sweeping, romantic soundtrack to Roja in 1992, A.R. Rahman has dominated the Indian film music industry. Some of the Chennai native’s most memorable works—and awards—have come from his Tamil film soundtracks such as Minsara Kanavu and Maryan, while perhaps the biggest highlight of his Tamil career was Bombay and its unforgettable single “Kannaalaney”, which sold 12 million copies worldwide. Only Rahman’s very best Tamil work has made it to our playlist.

The Weeknd Essentials

by Apple Music R&B

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.

Anuv Jain Essentials

by Apple Music Pop

Ilaiyaraaja Essentials

by Apple Music Tamil

One of the most influential musicians in Indian film history, Ilaiyaraaja is the only artist to have scored over 1,000 films. The multitalented musician won four Indian National Film Awards by fusing traditional Indian instruments with full symphony orchestration. The result is an unmatched level of artistry, particularly for background scoring, though he branched out into other genres after the turn of the century. His most iconic work features in our collection of his career highlights.

Bollywood Hits: Best of 2024

Telugu Romance

by Apple Music Telugu

Romantic balladry and folksy love anthems are a staple of Telugu film music. The revered S. P. Balasubrahmanyam is the silvery voice behind a few decades' worth of hits, but his mantle has now deservedly passed to modern troubadours such as Nikhil D'Souza, Sagar and Rahul Nambiar. This playlist is updated regularly, so if you like a song, add it to your library.

Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan Essentials

by Apple Music

Continuing the 600-year-old qawwali tradition in his family, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan has been widely credited with introducing Sufi music to an international audience.

His hypnotic and powerful voice has inspired a new generation of qawwali lovers who still swear by his name, despite his death in 1997. We relive Khan's legacy with this collection of his best work.

Kumar Sanu Essentials

by Apple Music Bollywood

The son of renowned classical singer Pashupati Bhattacharya, Kedernath Bhattacharya, a.k.a. Kumar Sanu, followed in the footsteps of his father at a very young age. Eventually Sanu became fascinated with Bollywood music and Kishore Kumar and decided to explore his fortunes as a playback singer.

Diljit Dosanjh Essentials

by Apple Music Punjabi

The face and voice of Punjabi regional cinema since 2003, singer/composer/actor Diljit Dosanjh was born into a Sikh family whose musical heritage is often reflected in the two-sided mrdanga or pakhawaj drums that drive his music. He's a Punjabi everyman with a voice that can be devotionally strident (check out the heavy "Gobind De Lal”), but also possesses pop star fervour on club tracks like "Happy Birthday", a rollicking blend of Auto-Tuned vocals and sinuous keyboards.

Dhanda Nyoliwala Essentials

by Apple Music Hip-Hop/Rap

Haryana-born, Australia-raised rapper Dhanda Nyoliwala carries his hometown of Nyoli with him in his name and in his music, often invoking Haryanvi culture like he’s never too far from home.

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.

Sidhu Moose Wala Essentials

But the artist also possessed beautifully expressive vocals, propelling romantic tracks like “Aj kal Ve” from 2020 smash Snitches Get Stitches. Singing a heartfelt tribute to his mother, venturing into Punjabi soundtracks, or featuring in powerhouse collabs such as single “Bambiha Bole” with singer/actor Amrit Maan, Moose Wala had countless musical tricks up his sleeve.

Hindi Pop Hits

by Apple Music Indian Independent

Hindi pop has really come into its own in recent years. Assembling brand-new hits and highlights from the past year, this compilation bounces between local dance bangers and sweeping romantic ballads—shining a light on trends while rolling out the red carpet for the next big names in Hindi pop. This week, this playlist is led by “MR. FAARIGH” by Ankur Tewari and Neel Adhikari. Handpicked by our editors, the tracks on this playlist are refreshed regularly, so if you hear something you like, add it to your library.

Phonk

by Apple Music

A massive hit with online gym and drift videos, phonk thrives on a highly bassy and warped, chiptune- and cowbell-driven smorgasbord of sounds that sometimes barely echoes the genre’s lineage in ’90s southern hip-hop and trap. These new and recent essentials shine a light on the producers driving digital phonk—and variants like aggressive, drift, house phonk and beyond. They alternate high-octane, electronics-heavy mixtures and moody, low-lit atmospheres strewn with choppy vocals and distorted rhymes. This is the perfect soundtrack to an ingenuously synthesised, thrill-seeking ride.

Mit luftigen Beats und starken Melodien schlagen sie die Brücke zwischen Clubfloor und Couch und liefern den idealen Sound für die Afterhour.

Udit Narayan Essentials

by Apple Music Bollywood

Press play and relive the fabulous days from films such as Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak, Dil and Raja Hindustani.

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.
