Here are the tracks on everyone’s mind and in everyone’s ears.

New Music Daily is the playlist that never sleeps, updated regularly with new music you can’t miss. Today’s cover star is LA-born sister trio HAIM with their latest single “Down to be wrong.” Have a listen and add this playlist to your library to stay up on the latest must-hear new songs.

Headlining Rap Life, the playlist at the forefront of hip-hop culture today, is “1000 Times”, a Lil Durk and Lil Baby collaboration from Lil Durk’s long-anticipated <i>Deep Thoughts</i> album. Durk and Baby have long had a productive relationship, one that even gave us a full length album in 2021’s <i>The Voice of the Heroes</i>. Much has changed in the lives of both since then, but “1000 Times” proves that their chemistry is fully intact. Listen to it on Rap Life and check back often, as our editors update this playlist regularly. If you hear something you like, add it to your library.

R&B is one of the most dynamic, adventurous sounds in modern music, a place where art both personal and provocative meets the mainstream. From the alt vanguard to modern vets, straightforward to left-field, these tracks capture where R&B is now and point the way to where it’s going. This week, Leon Thomas and Halle’s “RATHER BE ALONE” is at the top of the playlist. The sombre acoustic track finds the duo on opposing sides of their relationship, with Thomas willing to give up on it, while Halle wants to fight for it. We update this playlist regularly. If you like a track, add it to your library.

A-List Pop is your weekly guide to what’s on top in pop music. Leading this week’s playlist is Alex Warren with his hit song “Ordinary”. The California-born singer-songwriter has come a long way since his days of filming pranks on social media and now specialises in big, emotional ballads. “Ordinary” is his tender love song to his wife Kouvr Annon, and with lyrics like “The angels up in the clouds are jealous knowing we found/Something so out of the ordinary,” it’s no wonder he’s captured hearts around the world. Check back often, as our editors update this playlist regularly—and if you hear something you like, add it to your library.

Social media hasn’t just changed how we communicate, but also what we listen to and how we hear it. With that, here’s our up-to-the-minute playlist of tracks making the leap from your social channels into the broader cultural stream. On top now is Janet Jackson’s “Someone to Call My Lover”, a sweet and flirty cut from the 2001 album <i>All for You</i> that’s currently introducing Ms. Jackson to the Gen Z masses. Because there’s no schedule for going viral, our editors update these selections throughout the week as needed, so if you hear something you want to hang on to, add it to your library. If it’s trending there, you’ll hear it here.
