Heyyyy I still play that free album. I’ve grown to really like the songs actually.
Somebody tell Apple that Baby Boomers buy a lot of its stuff.
The first season of Apple Music Live began in May 2022 and featured performances by Harry Styles, Billie Eilish, Megan Thee Stallion, Alicia Keys, Wizkid, Luke Combs, and others. Apple has yet to announce additional performers for the second season.
Apple have found their ‘U2’ for the next ten years.
And U2 was cringe enough then.
Apple are like your dad, no your grandad talking about being ‘hip’. They’ve really lost it.
Remember when the iTunes festival and other music related things were relevant and arguably even cool?

Always thought Apple should have done this from beginning. Comedy specials too.
Good idea. I was thinking too that a nightly talk show might be a consistent draw — the challenge would be finding a good host and not having it regress into being mainly politically themed.
They might be scared off from that horrible show, "Planet of the Apps".
Does anyone listen to their radio show?
Apple still not learned their lesson from the U2/iPod forced download I see. Sad old grey Tim Cook still obsessed with celebrity.
As for unfortunate-looking ginger busker-got-lucky, he may not be a full-on plagiarist, but anyone who is as contrived to be unashamedly commercial that he specifically writes songs with a plan of “this is for my late 20-something fans…and that one will go down well with the 40-something mums on the school run” really isn’t a creative artist to be celebrated.
Oh and he’s always sweaty in every single context of his life. Eeeuw.

Good god, the negativity on this forum really astonishes me.
I’m not really a fan, but I don’t get the hate. He can actually sing
For real. Fella really said he’d rather tweeze his sacc than listen to Ed. Okay bud
Yeah I’m also no fan, but that doesn’t mean I have to genuinely hate the very essence of something just because it’s not for me.
I’d have to say that arguing that a corporate sponsored rock event was ever cool would probably be the antithesis of cool to the cool kids.
Apple have featured a pretty wide range of artists from a wide swath of genres over the years, and I’d actually be impressed with anyone who thought every artist featured was worth their listen.
I’m thankful that music and musical taste is subjective, and truly do not get the hate for any of it that is outside someone’s personal taste. This isn’t Clockwork Orange and they aren’t forcing us to listen.
apart from when they forced a U2 album on everyone's iPhone... ;-)
I know, it's always going to be mainstream 'stadium musicians' as that have the broadest appeal.
I suppose apple still put some more obscure artists centre stage in their adverts - like Feist with 1,2,3,4 in their adverts. Or Bruises by Chairlift.
Wasn’t this supposed to be streamed live on apple tv+? currently there is only an audio stream in apple music…
