Discover new music from artists we think you'll like. Refreshed every Friday.

Getting together and singing is some of the most fun you can have with friends, especially when the mix is right. These tracks aren’t clinchers. Nor are they show-stoppers. Instead, think of them as kindling for the great party fire—the music that starts things off and keeps them going whenever the moment flickers. Sing is available to Apple Music subscribers using the latest version of Apple Music on the latest iPhone, iPad and Apple TV devices. Apple Music Sing is supported on iPhone 11 and later or iPhone SE (3rd generation) using iOS 16.2 or later, iPad Pro 11-inch (3rd generation and later), iPad Air (4th generation and later), iPad mini (6th generation), or iPad (9th generation and later) using iPadOS 16.2 or later and Apple TV 4K (3rd generation).

From gangsta rap’s heyday to the rise of Beyoncé, this playlist captures one of the most fertile, dynamic periods in hip-hop and R&B, not to mention the first time they truly dominated the pop charts—a shift that continues to define music today. Don’t think of it as nostalgia; these tracks sound as good now as they ever did. We update these selections every week, so if you hear something you like—whether it’s a new discovery or a forgotten favourite—add it to your library.

The votes are in. These were the most-loved songs of 2023, according to triple j listeners. Listen back to the tracks that made the countdown.

“Honouring who I am and just staying true to myself is better than any concept album or preconceived idea,” Lizzo told Apple Music’s Zane Lowe before the release of her <i>Cuz I Love You</i> follow-up <i>Special</i> in July. “I'm very good in the moment, off the cuff, being raw and honest.” Listeners agreed wholeheartedly, making Lizzo one of the key members of pop's A-list this year. “About Damn Time”, the lead single from <i>Special</i>, gave the world a much-needed boost, its glossy bounce and motivation-minded lyrics (“I'm way too fine to be this stressed,” she belts on the pre-chorus) providing fuel for people around the globe to strut their stuff proudly. Get in the mood to celebrate yourself with “About Damn Time” and other top-tier 2022 hits; if you hear something you like, save it to your library.
