Halloween Essentials

by Apple Music

Draußen ist es dunkel, nur ein paar Kürbisgesichter flackern von den Fensterbänken. Es raschelt im Laub, Kinder springen hervor, fordern Süßes oder Saures. Und im gemütlich geheizten Wohnzimmer? Steigt die große Halloween-Party. Wir haben die passende Playlist dafür zusammengestellt.

Halloween Party

by Apple Music

Hexerei und Dämonen spielen nicht nur in uralten Mythen wichtige Rollen, sie sind auch fester Bestandteil der Popkultur. Acts, die gern Angst und Schrecken verbreiten, schwören auf mysteriöse Lyrics, furchteinflößende Samples, düstere Synths oder Gänsehaut bereitende Vocals. Ob Country, Beat, Rock oder Pop: Diese Killer-Hits bescheren dir ein mordsmäßig gutes Halloween!

R&B Now

by Apple Music R&B

Wo R&B heute steht und wohin das Genre sich entwickelt, hörst du hier. Diese Woche führen Drake und Don Toliver die Playlist mit „Solar Eclipse“ an. Die beiden Musiker überraschen in dem Track aus dem Album „HABIBTI (FOMO)“ mit einer düsteren R&B-Atmosphäre, die sie zudem mit Elementen aus Country und Houston-Rap kombinieren. Das Ergebnis: ein absoluter Ohrwurm über eine verflossene Liebe. „R&B Now“ wird regelmäßig aktualisiert. Wenn dir also ein Song gefällt, füge ihn am besten sofort deiner Mediathek hinzu.

FOMO

by Apple Music

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.

Halloween After Dark

by Apple Music

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.

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.

Ella Langley Essentials

by Apple Music Country

Alabama native Ella Langley has proven to be one of contemporary country’s sharpest voices, melding a more traditional sound with radio-ready pop flair and a distinctive twang. Her first major hit was a duet with Riley Green, the sassy, conversational “you look like you love me”, which succeeded by resisting Music City trends in favour of the timeless: abundant pedal steel, fingerpicked guitar and jangling saloon-style piano. Langley had already been building buzz with the catchy “Country Boy’s Dream Girl” and the rocking Koe Wetzel duet “That’s Why We Fight” when she released her debut album hungover (whose deluxe edition included the propulsive “weren’t for the wind”), situating herself as the latest heir to the legacy of women country artists from Loretta Lynn to Miranda Lambert who make taking no guff central to their music and persona. And then the Lone Star State came a-calling. “Choosin’ Texas”—the first single off her sophomore full-length Dandelion—slow-burned to the top of the charts, earning Langley smash crossover success with its angsty, drawling tale of love-triangle woe. “Be Her” from the same album followed in its path—another jealousy-fuelled ballad that thrived among audiences. “I’m in the back half of my twenties and still figuring it out, but I feel like I do it with a little more confidence,” Langley told Apple Music. “That’s why a lot of these songs represent that. They represent that feeling of, like, you know, you’re still figuring it out, but you’re trying to do it a little bit better each time.”

’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.

Rock-Klassiker

by Apple Music Classic Rock

Headbanging, Luftgitarren, herrliche Heiserkeit: All das ist hier Pflichtprogramm. Mit unvergesslichen Riffs und Refrains wurden diese Songs aus den 1960er-, 1970er- und 1980er-Jahren zu zeitlosen Klassikern. Diese Playlist wird regelmäßig neu für dich zusammengestellt – speichere deine persönlichen Favoriten also am besten sofort.

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.

80er Hits Essentials

by Apple Music 1980er-Jahre

Einige der größten Popsongs und Rock-Hymnen aller Zeiten stammen aus den Achtzigern. Diese Playlist bringt jene turbulenten Jahre zurück, in denen Dance-Pop, New Wave, Heavy Metal und Glam Rock ihre Blütezeit erlebten. Sie wird regelmäßig neu für dich zusammengestellt – speichere deine persönlichen Favoriten also am besten sofort.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Lo-Fi Chill

by Apple Music Chillen

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.

The Sand Bar

by Apple Music Country

Country has always been good at hitting that sweet spot between kicking back and tearing it up. It's that feeling you get when you're outside on the water—or just want to pretend you are. Here's a set of breezy tunes to frame the journey. Our editors regularly update this playlist. If you like a song, add it to your library.

’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.

Piano Chill

by Apple Music Classical

Klaviermusik kann aufrütteln, aber auch innere Ruhe erzeugen. Diese Playlist versammelt atmosphärische Stücke zum Chillen: Sanft perlende Kompositionen entführen in eine kontemplative Klangwelt, in der die Seele frei schweben kann und so neue Kräfte freigesetzt werden. Diese Playlist wird fortlaufend aktualisiert – speichere deine Favoriten also gleich ab.

HEAD TRIP

by HEAD TRIP

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.

Bad Bunny Essentials

by Apple Music Urbano latino

Bad Bunny se ha convertido en un ícono en la migración de la cultura latina a la corriente global, remodelando el aspecto, el sonido y la sensación del pop moderno con solo seguir su propia musa idiosincrásica. Es como dice en el título de su álbum de 2020 YHLQMDLG: "Yo hago lo que me da la gana". Cuando era niño y crecía en Vega Baja, Puerto Rico, a mediados de los 90, Bad Bunny (nacido Benito Martínez Ocasio en 1994) se enamoró de un amplio espectro musical latinoamericano (reggaetón, merengue, salsa) antes de descubrir el hip-hop. Sus mejores canciones no solo mezclan tradición y futurismo, lo latinoamericano y lo global, sino que también establecen un nuevo territorio temático para los artistas latinos masculinos, incluida la vulnerabilidad personal ("Vete") y el empoderamiento de las mujeres ("Yo Perreo Sola"). Sus colaboraciones (la abatida "LA NOCHE DE ANOCHE" con ROSALÍA, el mejor emparejamiento de poder "MÍA" con Drake, la aireada y relajada "Lo Siento BB:/" con Julieta Venegas) no hacen más que resaltar aún más su rango. Después de lanzar el enorme Un Verano Sin Ti de 2022 (nombrado uno de LOS 100 MEJORES ÁLBUMES de Apple Music), regresó al año siguiente con nadie sabe lo que va a pasar mañana, un Álbum que agregó fragmentos de Jersey club a su arsenal ("WHERE SHE GOES") y reforzó su categoría como el posible creador de éxitos más dinámico del mundo. Cuando la NFL lo anunció como el artista principal del Apple Music Super Bowl LX Halftime Show, lo hicieron con un breve clip de él sentado en silencio entre los postes de la portería en la playa de su infancia, Playa Puerto Nuevo. "Eso es lo que me gusta de mí, de mi carrera, de mi éxito", le dijo a Zane Lowe de Apple Music en 2025. "Siempre he sido yo".

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.

Rock dos anos 80: essenciais

by Apple Music: anos 80

Período de ouro para o rock, foi nos anos 80 que alguns hits antológicos, como "Welcome to the Jungle", do Guns N' Roses, e "Should I Stay or Should I Go", do The Clash, foram lançados. Das raízes blues, R&B e country de 1950, período de nascimento do ritmo, o rock da década ganhou peso, shows mais demorados, com pirotecnia e jogos de som. O heavy metal também revolucionou a cena com seus riffs intermináveis e incrivelmente complexos. Soft rock, glam metal, thrash metal e muitas outras vertentes do gênero também despontaram na época.

Zach Bryan’s With Heaven on Top Tour Set List

by Apple Music Country

Listen to the songs from the tour, all on one playlist.

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.

Me and Bae

by Apple Music R&B

Here's one for the lovers. New-school R&B mingles with hip-hop's more sensitive side on this set tailored to collapse the distance between you and that somebody. We regularly update these selections, so if you hear something you like, add it to your library. Then slide over and get cozy.

Country Hits: 2025

by Apple Music Country

The hits and only the hits—this collection brings together great songs from the top of the charts.

Worship Essentials

by Apple Music Christian

As Christian worship music evolved from the traditional choir-and-organ-backed hymnals to a modern, rock-led sound, the faith behind the sonic changes never wavered. Praiseful lyrics form the bedrock, still, but soaring choruses, guitars, drums, and synths add to the moment. Here, the towering giants of contemporary Christian—Hillsong UNITED, Chris Tomlin, Phil Wickham, and Elevation Worship among them—offer up faithful odes and devotional anthems that allow for a practice of reverent adoration.

Dolly Parton Essentials

by Apple Music Country

Calling Dolly Parton the Queen of Country is both fitting and wholly insufficient for an artist whose career defined American music—and culture—over the course of nearly 70 years. Her life story—rising from Appalachian poverty (as immortalised in her 1971 song “Coat of Many Colors”) to something as close to sainthood as we will ever see—is the American dream, and her life’s work across 49 studio albums is its soundtrack. The best of that work, all in one place, is a collection of genre-defining and genre-flaunting hits spanning decades, yes, but together the songs tell a story in their own right. Her first charting single, 1966’s “Dumb Blonde”, introduced her as a fun-loving but independent woman confident enough to flout stereotypes and command her own destiny. In the late ’60s, Parton enjoyed huge success as a regular on Porter Wagoner’s weekly TV show and through a long string of collaborative hits like “The Last Thing On My Mind”. But she became even more popular as a solo artist, bolstering her reputation as a master storyteller with a pair of 1974 hits that became her signature songs. The aching “I Will Always Love You” was about needing to strike out on her own without Wagoner, while the timeless, minor-key “Jolene” assumed the vulnerable vantage point of a woman confronting a romantic rival. (She had long mused that she may have written them on the same day, before walking that back later in her life.) In 1981, Parton landed her first pop No. 1 hit, the Oscar-nominated blue-collar anthem “9 to 5”, and co-starred in the comedy film of the same name. She then had the biggest smash of her career in 1983 with “Islands in the Stream”, an easy-going romantic duet with Kenny Rogers. Further collaborations—like her albums with Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris, plus cameos on songs by Beyoncé, Sabrina Carpenter and Miley Cyrus (her goddaughter)—expanded Parton’s legacy through the end of the 20th century and well into the 21st. Parton passed away in August 2026 at age 80.

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.

’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.

KAROL G Essentials

by Apple Music Urbano latino

Y llámame como tú quieras / Lo que tú digas me resbala / Yo sólo vivo a mi manera”, declara KAROL G en “Ahora Me Llama”, junto a Bad Bunny, la canción con la que irrumpió en las grandes ligas del reggaetón en 2017. Desde entonces, la autoexpresión sin filtros, el empoderamiento femenino y la libertad de espíritu han sido los pilares sobre los que la artista de Medellín ha construido una trayectoria coherente en transformación continua. Hoy es una de las voces más influyentes del reggaetón, rostro definitivo del pop internacional, emblema del orgullo latino y figura clave en la exploración folclórica del género urbano. Con éxitos como “Tusa”, el álbum KG0516 (2021) la catapultó como estrella mundial, más allá de géneros e idiomas. Además, le otorgó una nueva identidad pues, más allá de su popularidad, “BICHOTA” es el símbolo de toda su fuerza. Como afirmó desde el inicio: ella manda, ningún hombre puede con su “pum pum”. Dos años más tarde, cantó desde la herida en MAÑANA SERÁ BONITO (2023). En ese material, su vulnerabilidad se transformó en potencia, permitiendo a su público sufrir con ella del mismo modo en que antes celebró cada triunfo. Este disco debutó en el primer lugar de la Billboard 200 y se convirtió en el primer álbum en español de una mujer en formar parte de esa lista. Además, su gira homónima rompió récords de asistencia en América y Europa. En 2025, la “Bichota” cedió el paso a la Tropicoqueta, que reivindica la cultura latina como una gran fuente de inspiración. Este álbum transita entre cumbia villera, bachata, vallenato y regional mexicano, géneros que KAROL G acoge para ondear su bandera con orgullo. A pesar de que algunas canciones, como “Si Antes Te Hubiera Conocido” o “LATINA FOREVA”, retoman las temáticas habituales de fiesta desbordada, relaciones amorosas y poder femenino, Tropicoqueta desplaza el marco de referencia para dialogar con el legado de algunas leyendas latinas como Selena. Sin importar el apodo por el cual sea conocida, KAROL G vive y crea música a su manera.

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.

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.

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.

Super Simple Songs Essentials

by Apple Music Kids

When Devon Thagard and Troy McDonald—two English as a second language teachers in Japan—wanted to use music to help their students learn, they created their own, simplified arrangements of classic children’s tracks, as well as original compositions, for ease in their educational venture. Super Simple Songs, founded in 2006, eventually turned into a juggernaut YouTube channel, with plenty of tunes—and spinoff characters like Noodle & Pals and Finny The Shark—to aid in instruction that leans into a child’s imagination. Whether paying a visit to “Old MacDonald” and his farm, warning the “Five Little Monkeys” to stop jumping on the bed, playing a little “Pat-A-Cake,” or clapping along to “If You’re Happy and You Know It,” these timeless lullabies and nursery staples are perfect for growing minds.

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”).

La Oficial

by Apple Music Música mexicana

De generación en generación, tanto entre quienes la escuchan como entre quienes la hacen, la música mexicana se mantiene como una fuerza creativa poderosa y vibrante.

Actualizamos esta playlist con frecuencia, así que si escuchas algo que te gusta, agrégalo a tu biblioteca.

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.

Afrobeats Hits

by Apple Music Afrobeats

Born in Nigeria and Ghana, Afrobeats has become one of the most eclectic—and exportable—sounds in contemporary music, often incorporating everything from rap and dancehall to R&B and house. At the top of the playlist this week is “IKEBE 3000”, a high-octane Asake collaboration from Blaqbonez’s highly anticipated NOMADINHO: 4TH PRIME. Listen to it on Afrobeats Hits, alongside the rest of the infectious if indefinable sound of 21st-century Africa, and if you hear something you like, add it to your library.

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.

’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.

Metallica Essentials

by Apple Music Metal

Surveying Metallica's career is like looking at one of those evolution-of-man illustrations: You see how they became what they are. It's not that the band went from dragging their knuckles to walking upright so much as they continually expanded and diversified their sound. From the thrash of Ride the Lightning to the baroque song-suites of … And Justice for All, from the blockbuster ballads of Metallica to the hard-rock revival of Load, they've synthesized their past while pushing into the future. More than just help invent metal, the band grew with it, exploring just about every variable of playing fast and 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.

Little Bit Country

by Apple Music Country

So you like country. But you also like pop. And rap’s pretty good too. And rock, and even a little electronic. Come to think of it, who put all these boundaries up in the first place? Here’s a batch of hits from across the spectrum—yep, it's a little bit country, but the rest of the selections are wide open. Our editors are updating tracks all the time, so if you hear something you like, add it to your library.

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.

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.

New Music Daily

Riley Green Essentials

by Apple Music Country

Country singer-songwriter Riley Green, born in 1988, has shown that there’s still room for gritty, old-school-leaning sounds in modern country. The public first got a glimpse of the Jacksonville, AL, native in 2016 during his stint on Redneck Island, a CMT reality series. Two years later, he came on strong with his debut single, “There Was This Girl,” mixing ’90s country vibes with a dash of rock ’n’ roll and earning a huge hit his first time out. He stood his stylistic ground on his 2019 debut album, Different ’Round Here, which bore a second big single, the tenderhearted ballad “I Wish Grandpas Never Died.” In 2022, Green teamed up with Thomas Rhett for the chart-topping tune “Half Of Me,” where his shout-out to Alan Jackson showed where his heart lay.

Slow Jams Essentials

by Apple Music R&B

Feelings of sincerity, tenderness, and sensuality are what listeners seek from great slow jams—and that's exactly what they get from the leaders of the form. While the term itself is elastic enough to include R&B ballads of many eras, the slow jam is epitomized by a more contemporary variety of love song whose rich, deep texture bears a hip-hop influence yet still boasts the sultry feel and slower tempo that allows for a full expression of emotion. For divas like Mariah Carey and Beyoncé, the key to making slow jams that connect is about balancing subtle inflections with more impassioned moments. Smooth crooners such as Marvin Gaye and Maxwell know what a falsetto can do to turn listeners into objects of desire. No matter what means these singers use, their straightforwardness and use of buttery grooves make for slow jams that go straight to the heart of the matter.

Dale reggaetón

El reggaetón nos sigue deslumbrando y continúa expandiendo su influencia más allá de las fronteras.

Esta playlist muestra el dinamismo de este estilo que surgió a principios de los años 90 en Puerto Rico y que, en la actualidad, se reinventa para seguir mostrando su imparable poder de seducción.

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.

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.

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.

Teteo

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.
