Ever wish you could get that feeling of hearing your favourite song for the first time all over again? No problem. Thanks to Spatial Audio with Dolby Atmos, now on Apple Music, you can be fully immersed in the songs you love, as if you’ve stepped inside of them. The vocals you harmonise with, the beats you move to: All of it can feel real enough to touch, like you’re at the centre of it all. It’s a three-dimensional listening experience where sound comes from around and above you. Handmade by our editors, this playlist showcases some of music’s biggest and brightest songs as you’ve never heard them before. There’s no turning back from here.

Today’s Hits is home to the biggest songs in pop, hip-hop, R&B and more. Man of the moment Ed Sheeran tops this week’s playlist with “Camera”, a classic love song perfect for a stadium sway-along. The track is the latest from his new album, <i>Play</i>, which mixes influences from different cultures. “I think that <i>Play</i> will be one of the last pop hurrahs that I’ll get away with,” he tells Apple Music’s Zane Lowe. Sheeran’s pop snapshot is joined by fresh tracks from Lewis Capaldi and RAYE. Remember, our editors are constantly searching for new music and updating this playlist—so if you hear a song you like, add it to your library to keep listening to Today’s Hits tomorrow.

Underneath her hard exterior, Rihanna’s just a soft romantic like the rest of us. And sure we all love her pop bangers and hip-hop cuts but her slower songs and ballads creep up on you, becoming fast favourites. Revisit her softer side in this collection featuring production from Stargate, Ne-Yo, Mikky Ekko and Justin Timberlake.

Rihanna isn’t just a magnetic personality, she’s got a great voice—a quality not always apparent in her brasher music, but one that comes out immediately in her ballads. And while the tracks here highlight her vocal range, they also explore a tenderness and vulnerability that make her as much an artist you can turn to for comfort and inspiration as one you can take to the club. We’ve all got that side, of course—but not everyone can bring it out.
