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.

Im stets spannenden und visionären Miteinander treffen hier die Gigant:innen des Genres auf innovative Künstler:innen aus Gegenwart und Zukunft.

Morgan Wallen Essentials

by Apple Music Country

Born in 1993 in Sneedville, Tennessee, Morgan Wallen grew up singing harmonies with his sisters in the church where their father preached. By 2014, he’d managed to get onto and eliminated from The Voice, but not before showing an innate versatility and relaxed style. His breakthrough came with 2017’s “Up Down,” a Southern-rock spring break anthem that radiated frosty-can cool with help from Florida Georgia Line. But his 2018 debut, If I Know Me, proved Wallen could ride solo on cleverly penned everyman hits like “Whiskey Glasses,” a honky-tonk heartbreak sing-along about getting over your blues with something a little stronger than beer goggles. As easy as his country goes down, Wallen stays committed to exploring interesting new directions. He converted “Cover Me Up,” the signature song of anti-bro Jason Isbell, into a hymn of support for returning veterans. And in 2020, he not only held down “Heartless,” Diplo’s EDM foray into the Wild West, but dropped “7 Summers,” a soft-focus Eagles-style ballad about a boy who lost a girl because he wouldn’t leave his East Tennessee home.

Today’s Christian

by Apple Music Christian

A great song can lift you up or get you over the hump; it can be a mirror when you’re feeling strong and a rock of support when you’re feeling weak. In other words, certain types of pop music can speak to the heart in ways that make you feel grateful just to be alive. From soaring ballads to surging dance anthems with touches of electronic and indie rock, here are the biggest tracks inspiring us today: the sound of good news. Our editors update these tracks regularly. If you hear something you like, add it to your library.

A-List Pop

by Apple Music Pop

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

R&B Throwback

by Apple Music R&B

The ’90s was a revolutionary time in R&B: Not only had the mature, quiet-storm-oriented sound evolved to its most sophisticated state, you started to really hear the influence of hip-hop—a shift that changed not only R&B, but the sound of modern pop in general. From neo-soul to new jack swing, the classic-sounding to the more cutting-edge, these are the tracks that shaped R&B in the ’90s and early 2000s. Our editors update picks regularly, so if you hear something you like, take a minute and add it to your library.

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.

Bad Bunny Essentials

by Apple Music Urbano Latino

Bad Bunny ist zu einem Symbol für den Einfluss lateinamerikanischer Kultur im globalen Mainstream geworden. Mit seinem unverwechselbaren Stil hat er den Look, den Sound und das Gefühl des modernen Pop neu geprägt – immer angetrieben von seiner eigenen Muse. Wie der Titel seines Albums „YHLQMDLG“ von 2020 schon sagt: „Yo hago lo que me da la gana“. Er macht also, was er will. 1994 als Benito Martínez Ocasio geboren, wuchs Bad Bunny im puerto-ricanischen Vega Baja auf und begeisterte sich schnell für die Klänge von Reggaeton, Merengue und Salsa. Dann entdeckte er Hip‑Hop für sich. Heute verbinden seine Tracks nicht nur Tradition und Futurismus sowie lateinamerikanische und globale Einflüsse, sondern eröffnen auch neues thematisches Terrain für lateinamerikanische Künstler:innen: Verletzlichkeit („Vete“) und selbstbestimmte Weiblichkeit („Yo Perreo Sola“). Auch seine Team‑ups machen diese Spannweite deutlich – vom melancholischen „LA NOCHE DE ANOCHE“ mit ROSALÍA über das dynamische „MÍA“ mit Drake bis hin zum lässigen „Lo Siento BB:/“ mit Julieta Venegas. Ein Jahr nach der Veröffentlichung des Albums „Un Verano Sin Ti“ (2022), das zu den Apple Music 100 Best Albums zählt, kehrte Bad Bunny mit „nadie sabe lo que va a pasar mañana“ zurück. Dieses Album erweiterte sein Repertoire um Jersey-Club-Elemente („WHERE SHE GOES“) und festigte seinen Status als einer der dynamischsten Hitmacher:innen der Welt. Schließlich kündigte die NFL den Superstar als Headliner der Apple Music Super Bowl LX Halftime Show an – mit einem kurzen Clip, in dem Bad Bunny an seinem Heimatstrand Playa Puerto Nuevo zwischen Football-Torpfosten sitzt. „Das ist das, was ich an mir, an meiner Karriere und an meinem Erfolg mag“, sagte er 2025 gegenüber Zane Lowe von Apple Music. „Ich bin immer ich selbst geblieben.“

Louvor e adoração

by Apple Music Cristã e Gospel no Brasil

Por muito tempo, o gospel carregou o adjetivo de música para ser ouvida na igreja, mas o gênero ganhou corpo com o passar do tempo, desenvolvendo características como originalidade, individualidade e presença, ultrapassando os templos e ganhando vida em festivais de música. Aqui, uma playlist com os melhores nomes da música cristã contemporânea. As músicas desta playlist são atualizadas com frequência. Se você gosta de uma delas, adicione-a à sua biblioteca.

Back Porch Country

by Apple Music Country

Country music has always had a tight relationship with the idea of home, and that feeling of kicking back and slowing down when you get there. Mixing rootsy and crossover tunes new and old, this playlist is meant to help you unplug. Our editors regularly refresh these tracks. If you like a song, add it to your library.

Rock clássico: essenciais

by Apple Music: rock clássico

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.

Diese Playlist wird fortlaufend aktualisiert – speichere deine Favoriten also gleich ab.

Lo-Fi Chill

by Apple Music Chill

In the late 1910s, the French composer Erik Satie came up with a concept he called “furniture music”—sounds designed more for passive listening than active engagement. It’s a useful idea in thinking about the history of ambient music in general, but it feels especially applicable to the wave of lo-fi/chill-hop that has washed over the digital world 100 years later: soundtracks for studying, reading, resting, cooking or whatever; more a sonic companion than a point of focus. With that, here’s a playlist of low-key, hip-hop-influenced beats to keep you company, whatever the errand—the furniture music for the 2020s. Our editors update picks here regularly, so if you hear something you like, add it to your library.

80er Hits Essentials

by Apple Music 1980er-Jahre

’90s Country Essentials

by Apple Music ’90s

Country music exploded in the ’90s. Early in the decade, stars like Brooks & Dunn and Shania Twain had people line-dancing to their crisp, tight beats. By the end of it, they—alongside a new generation of stars—were selling out stadiums and topping the pop charts—feats almost unheard of even a decade earlier. Of course, the sound of country music grew alongside its audience. With female stars often in the lead, artists energized their records with the flashy guitar sounds and big production tricks of classic rock and metal without ever losing their signature twang.

’90s R&B Essentials

A hand-picked mix of hits and album cuts 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.

Yacht Rock Essentials

by Apple Music Classic Rock

In 2005, the actor/screenwriter J.D. Ryznar wrote, directed, and produced a TV series for the Los Angeles short-film festival Channel 101 called Yacht Rock. The idea was to tell comically overblown backstories about the creation of a strain of ultra-smooth music from the late ’70s and early ’80s. Christopher Cross, Michael McDonald, Kenny Loggins—to paraphrase Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart’s 1964 description of obscenity, you know it when you hear it. As entertainingly corny as some of the tracks here are, they also represent some of the era’s more serious songwriting efforts, exploring themes of longing and regret with a muted tension not even the slickest production could fully smooth over—a sense of contrast and depth the music doesn’t always get due credit for. Interestingly, as mainstream as these tracks were, their richest second life came in the form of 2010s electronic subgenres like vaporwave, which took the soft-focus quality of the music to surreal extremes. For now, though, lock in, settle down, and surrender to the breeze.

Songs of the Summer

by Apple Music Sommer

Die Sonne knallt, das Eis schmilzt, die Sonnenbrille sitzt: Hier ist der Sound für die schönste Zeit des Jahres. Latin-Beats so heiß wie die Temperaturen, frische R&B- und Pop-Tunes, die so gut tun wie ein eisgekühltes Getränk. Egal wo du bist und was du machst: Mit diesem Mix gehört der Sommer dir.

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.

R&B Hits

by Apple Music R&B

Like its stylistic cousin hip-hop, R&B has some major overlap with modern pop—at times, the charts are virtually indistinguishable from one another. Put another way, the biggest R&B songs are often the biggest songs in any genre, period. Whether you call it crossover R&B, pop&B, or something else entirely, this is where you’ll find its hugest new chart smashes, updated every week. We always keep this playlist refreshed with the latest tunes. If you like something, add it to your library.

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.

Entspannende Klassik

Ella Langley’s Dandelion Summer

by Apple Music Summertime Sounds

Singer-songwriter and country star Ella Langley is hitting the road this summer for her Dandelion Tour. In collaboration with Apple Music, Ella has curated a special summer playlist, featuring music from her latest album, Dandelion, as well as songs from Fleetwood Mac, Bee Gees, and Eric Church—all of which inspired her album and are part of her pre-show playlist to get fans ready for the concert.

’80s Rock Essentials

by Apple Music ’80s

Memes don’t lie: Hair really was that big in the ’80s. And so was the rock. Dive into the decade’s classic tunes, and you’ll find yourself lost in an ocean of soaring choruses, in-your-face production values, humongous drums, and epic synthesizers. Just about every A-lister—Bruce Springsteen, Van Halen, Tom Petty, Journey, Guns N’ Roses, U2, you name it—conquered the charts and MTV with larger-than-life anthems. But it wasn’t just size that mattered; in contrast to the earthy introspection that dominated the ’70s, the ’80s were all about fun. Joan Jett raised her fists to rock ’n’ roll, while heartland icon John Mellencamp howled about sucking down chili dogs. Even R.E.M., the toast of the college-rock scene at the time, were having a blast proclaiming the end of the world. Of course, the world didn’t end, and the ’80s gave way to the much more angsty ’90s, but not before leaving behind some of rock’s most colorful and energetic jams.

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.

90er Hits Essentials

Diese Playlist ist eine Reise in posterbehangene Kinderzimmer und sorglose Schaumpartyzeiten, als eine begeisternde Genrevielfalt die Charts bestimmte.

Super Simple Songs Essentials

by Apple Music Kids

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.

Forrest Frank Essentials

by Apple Music Christian

Forrest Frank specializes in a mellow brand of inspirational pop that would make a perfect soundtrack for poolside Bible study. While his secular project Surfaces blew up in the late 2010s, the Houston-born musician quietly released solo records under both his own name and the moniker Forrest. until the single “No Longer Bound,” featuring Hulvey, became a CCM favorite in 2023. The song offers a casual, lo-fi spin on praising God that sounds like little else climbing the genre’s charts. Spiritual themes notwithstanding, Frank’s solo music plants its feet in the same warm sands as Surfaces; both blend hip-hop with chillwave and ’70s yacht rock. Even when Frank tackles gospel standards on his second full-length, 2023’s New Hymns, he suffuses the production with the pastel hues of a Caribbean sunset.

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.

’90s Rock Essentials

by Apple Music Rock

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

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.

Bob Marley & The Wailers: essenciais

by Apple Music: reggae

A primeira formação do The Wailers aconteceu na capital da Jamaica, Kingston, em 1963, contando com três nomes hoje lendários: Bob Marley, Peter Tosh e Bunny Wailer. Embora não tenha inventado o reggae, feito atribuído ao mítico produtor Lee Perry, nenhuma banda soube explorar melhor o estilo do que o The Wailers. Depois que Tosh e Bunny Wailer partiram para a carreira solo, Marley recrutou os irmãos Aston “Family Man” (baixo) e Carlton Barrett (bateria), solidificando o caminho para o dub. Adeptos do rastafarianismo, as letras do the Wailers falavam sobre problemas sociais, amor e liberdade, entre outros temas.

Olivia Dean Essentials

by Apple Music Pop

Olivia Dean mag sich selbst als Perfektionistin bezeichnen, doch im Sound der Singer-Songwriterin aus Nordlondon liegt etwas Unfertiges, Offenes. Geprägt von Jazz, Soul, R&B, Pop und dem zeitlosen Geist einer alten Seele, klingt ihre Musik oft so, als wäre sie an einem warmen Nachmittag entstanden – und genau für solche Nachmittage gemacht. Man stellt sich Olivia Dean dabei vor, wie sie in ihrer Stadt sitzt und den Menschen beim Vorübergehen zusieht. Einen „typischen Olivia Dean-Song“ beschrieb sie gegenüber Apple Music so: „Ich werde mich in dich verlieben – aber nicht ganz.“ Dieses Gefühl zieht sich durch Stücke wie „Danger“, „UFO“ und das hinreißende „Slowly“ aus dem Jahr 2021 – ihre intensivste Auseinandersetzung mit der Angst, sich zu sehr zu öffnen und dabei verletzt zu werden. Doch es gibt auch andere klassische Dean-Momente: Manchmal wirft sie jede Vorsicht über Bord und stürzt sich kopfüber ins Abenteuer („Dive“). Und manchmal entscheidet sie sich bewusst fürs Alleinsein: etwa in „Be My Own Boyfriend“, das sich durch ihre gewohnt pointierten, fast dialoghaften Texte auszeichnet, oder „The Hardest Part“, eine kluge Betrachtung über das Auseinanderwachsen zweier Menschen. In besonders eindrucksvollen Momenten malt die Singer-Songwriterin Songs so lebendig, dass man meint, sie direkt auf einer Leinwand sehen zu können. In „I Could Be A Florist“ wirft sie einen Blick auf ihren Plan B, in Peckham einen Blumenladen zu eröffnen. Im überschwänglichen „Carmen“ zollt sie ihrer Großmutter Tribut, die in den 1960ern im Rahmen der Windrush-Generation nach Großbritannien kam. Entdecke in dieser Playlist weitere Klänge eines besonderen, einzigartigen Talents.

Peabo Bryson Essentials

by Apple Music R&B

Since '76, Peabo Bryson's been making listeners swoon with his tender and sultry approach to softly-sung ballads. Though the Greenville, South Carolina, native also recorded a solid share of upbeat R&B material, his string of quiet storm smashes throughout the '80s and '90s is virtually unparalleled. In addition to solo material, superstar duet partners include Roberta Flack, Natalie Cole, Celine Dion, and Regina Belle, while key soundtrack slots for Disney's Beauty and the Beast and Aladdin made the singer/songwriter just as much a star of the silver screen as the radio.

Reggaetón: imprescindibles

by Apple Music Urbano latino

Ese beat que ha hipnotizado caderas en todos los rincones del mundo es producto de una compleja evolución del rap y el sabor musical latino. Desde sus orígenes, pioneros urbanos como Vico C, Daddy Yankee y Don Omar sentaron las bases de una exaltación hispanoparlante con baterías secas y bajos profundos, que han reverberado desde los años 2000 hacia nuevos ídolos de la escena como Luis Fonsi, Maluma, J Balvin, Calle 13 y Wisin & Yandel. Al compás de un agresivo perreo, la imaginación de cada artista integra letras pegadizas a este representativo beat latinoamericano nutrido de electrónica.

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.

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.

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.

Elevation Worship Essentials

by Apple Music Christian

Elevation Worship belongs to a generation of Christian singers and musicians who have ushered in a sea change in worship music. The 2011 song “Exalted One” lays out the North Carolina band's bold vision, couching the genre's praise of the Lord's beneficence in distorted alt-rock guitars and surging harmonies reminiscent of U2's inspirational anthems. But the group's ambitions don't stop there: Persistently searching for contemporary ways to deliver the Gospel's messages, they also incorporate the fragile beauty of piano pop (“O Come to the Altar”) and the ethereal richness of electronic music (“Here as in Heaven”).

2000s Country Essentials

by Apple Music 2000s

Country music has always been grounded in the lived experience, but in the 2000s the genre paid especially close attention to the little moments in our days: not just the joys of drinking and falling in love but also the pleasures as simple as heating a bowl of rice in the microwave. This natural development was a way to take stock of American life in the turbulent time after 9/11 and during the U.S. invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan. Some responded with hard-rocking patriotism, while others took out the fiddles and tried a different approach.

BEATstrumentals

Chris Stapleton Essentials

by Apple Music Country

Chris Stapleton was already an established songwriter for Kenny Chesney, George Strait, and other greats when he released his 2015 debut, Traveller. Next to the era's charged-up tunes about bikinis and tailgating, Stapleton seemed like he was from a different time: in his mid-thirties, with a rawhide Kentucky voice, and unfashionably long hair beard. His mixture of Southern rock, classic country, and blues didn’t sound like anything else on the radio, and the songs were dark explorations of hard times ("Nobody to Blame") and boozy unhappiness (“Whiskey and You”). He's only gained more fans—from both sides of the mainstream/alt-country divide—as he's continued to hone his songwriting: Hear the focused reflection on "Broken Halos" (from 2017's From A Room: Vol. 1), the gorgeously tender title track on 2020's Starting Over, and the particularly soulful rocker "White Horse" (from 2023's Higher). But while his sound treasures the past, he's refreshingly undogmatic for a traditionalist: The fact that he's also recorded with Justin Timberlake ("Say Something") and with P!nk ("Love Me Anyway") just further underscores his appeal.

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.

Justin Bieber Essentials

by Apple Music Pop

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

’90s Hip-Hop Essentials

by Apple Music ’90s

Hip-hop in the ’90s went from the voice of the streets to the sound of America, taking over the charts, film, fashion and more. Dr. Dre’s 1992 solo debut The Chronic changed rap’s pulse: blaring drum loops were exchanged for lush low-rider funk; gangsta rap was now indistinguishable from pop. Though the spotlight moved to Los Angeles, New York rappers like Wu-Tang Clan, Mobb Deep, and Nas made a grimy strain of “boom bap” that was gritty, vividly bleak, and lyrically intricate. Regional sounds slowly infiltrated the airwaves, including E-40’s slick “mobb music” (the Bay Area), the rapid-fire “chop” of Bone Thugs (the Midwest), the boom of 8Ball & MJG (Memphis), the crawl of UGK (Houston), and, most notably, the left-field rap of Atlanta’s Outkast. By decade’s end, Puff Daddy’s Bad Boy empire monopolized the charts and New Orleans labels No Limit and Cash Money turned DIY hustle into uncompromising sensations.

Smooth jazz: imprescindibles

by Apple Music Jazz

En el smooth jazz se reúnen el pop, el funk y el rock, adornados con ritmos sincopados. Sus íconos son solistas como Kenny G y Herb Alpert, aunque músicos como Sade también recurren a él para agregarle sofisticación a sus temas. El resultado es un momento sonoro para exhalar. Las canciones en esta lista se actualizan constantemente, así que si te gusta alguna, agrégala a tu biblioteca.

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.

’70s Rock Essentials

by Apple Music ’70s

For the rockers who swaggered and strutted through the ’70s, bigger nearly always meant better. Songs that were built to have maximum impact in stadiums and arenas somehow sounded even larger on home hi-fis thanks to multitrack recording technology and other studio advances that made the drums of Led Zeppelin’s John Bonham and The Who’s Keith Moon sound like cannon fire. Even the mellower, headphone-ready sounds of Fleetwood Mac, Pink Floyd, and the Eagles boasted unprecedented breadth and richness. Yet the decade’s sound was defined just as much by leaner, meaner takes on rock fundamentals, courtesy of artists such as AC/DC and Alice Cooper.

2000s Rock Essentials

by Apple Music 2000s

Just as the rise of alternative and grunge helped rejuvenate rock through the last years of the previous century, new ideas and new blood kept the old beast roaring through the first decade of the 21st, too. Indeed, as different as buzzy new bands like The White Stripes, The Strokes, and The Killers may have sounded thanks to their soon-to-be influential takes on blues, post-punk, and ‘80s arena-rock respectively, they all demonstrated the same vitality. And though more mainstream acts such as Nickelback and Incubus had greater respect for the playbook, they too made songs with force, immediacy, and hooks galore. Meanwhile, ‘90s alt-rock faves like Green Day, Foo Fighters, and Weezer found ways to raise their own stakes, and in doing so completed their transitions from snarky youngsters to tried-and-true rock veterans who still liked it loud.

2000s Hip-Hop Essentials

by Apple Music 2000s

The 2000s began with New York’s lyrical titans—JAŸ-Z, Nas, Cam’ron, Jadakiss, newcomer 50 Cent—battling for supremacy, commercial and otherwise. However, New York’s grip on the hip-hop narrative would loosen. Atlanta rappers like Outkast, Ludacris, T.I., Lil Jon, and Young Jeezy would spin hip-hop into crunk and trap; a young, ambitious Chicago producer named Kanye West would open up new vistas of personal and emotional hitmaking; and New Orleans spitter Lil Wayne’s constant flood of mixtapes would change the economics of rapping forever. The internet would help spread regional sounds like the UK’s minimalist grime, Houston’s slow-moving chopped-and-screwed music, the Bay Area’s hyperactive hyphy, and Atlanta’s short-lived snap. By decade’s end, the gurgle of Auto-Tune and the freewheeling phrasing of Drake had begun to scramble the circuits, setting up hip-hop for its most melodic decade yet.
