Apple Music has launched three new 24/7 radio streams with Apple Música Uno, Apple Music Club, and Apple Music Chill.
Three new channels have been launched to complement the existing lineup of Apple Music 1, Apple Music Hits, and Apple Music Country, all of which remain accessible without a subscription to Apple Music. According to the Apple Vice President of Music, Sports, and Beats, Oliver Schusser, these additions reflect the company’s commitment to expanding its offerings and enhancing user experience.
Apple Music Radio is the beating heart of our service, representing the intersection of exceptional human voices and curation with cutting-edge technology that shapes and influences culture. We put a lot of time and care into making sure these new radio stations are really bespoke, highly curated, and hosted by some of the world’s best music commentators with unique programming that we know our listeners will love.”
Apple Musica Uno is dedicated to a diverse range of Latin music genres, including Musica Mexicana, reggaeton, tropical, and Latin pop. Becky G will host the station launch, and Rauw Alejandro and Grupo Frontera will host specialty shows.
Apple Music Club series will explore the diverse world of dance music and club culture. Renowned DJs Tim Sweeney and NAINA will serve as “guides,” providing context and insight around each curated mix. The series will showcase a wide range of sounds from the festival circuit to the underground all available as on-demand DJ sets on Apple Music.
Apple Music Chill is described as a sonic sanctuary where listeners can find respite throughout their day. The channel will feature tastemakers like Brian Eno, Stephan Moccio, and Zane Lowe, guiding listeners through stories of calm and well-being in their own hosted shows. Apple Music’s Sabi will serve as a station guide, accompanying listeners on this journey of relaxation and rejuvenation.
Apple Music Global Creative Director and lead anchor Zane Lowe said, “Music is crucial to our health and happiness, and what Apple Music Radio brings is a sense that your music is always there for you, always on, and waiting for you to just tap in. In a world of AI and algorithms, Apple Music Radio is live. It’s real people, it’s a shared event, and I’m so excited to be broadening that experience to listeners worldwide with three new stations.”
