Punjabi bhangra, pop and hip-hop makes the world go around. The music resonates far beyond India’s borders, with Canada, UK, Australia and other diasporic communities fuelling its popularity. With a buoyant sonic aesthetic at their core, these songs encompass pride, love and life’s peaks and valleys, fitting any mood. This week, “Hostel” by Pradeep Sran leads the way in Punjabi Hits. This playlist is updated regularly so if you hear something you like, add it to your library.

Like India itself, Bollywood is a feast for the senses—and its music is the richest part of the spread. When listening to Bollywood music in Spatial Audio with Dolby Atmos, it’s like you’re there with all of your favourite acting and singing stars—feeling every soaring note, chorus and nuance of emotion expressed on screen and in song. On this playlist curated by our editors, you can experience it all in pristine, immersive sound.

The Weeknd’s music is about as dark as pop or R&B gets before it becomes something else entirely. But it also has a sense of fearlessness and extremity that makes him a surprisingly good workout companion. “He always has something to get you ready to hammer out a workout,” Fitness+ Strength trainer Kyle Ardill tells Apple Music. “His upbeat tracks help drive you through the intensity, while his slower, darker tracks are great for getting focused to draw out your grit.” So hit play, dig in, and if you hear something that gives you that jolt, add it to your library.
