I really like the idea but in most of the cities I checked Justin Bieber was right up at the top so it was less interesting than I’d hoped.

 

[Rogifan]

How are they determining popularity? It can’t be based off radio because in US cities most radio stations are owned by the same company and play the same songs.

 

[lah]

I love this idea. But after browsing and listening to some of the cities, I’ve come to realize that I’m too old to keep up with latest pop music trends. Just not my style.

 

[nwcs]

A long way from the old days of America’s Top 40 with Casey Kasem….

 

[DanTSX]

Great. So no Apple Music has become the morning zoo / top 40 garbage we thought we had all left behind once subscription streaming became a thing....

 

[Expos of 1969]

Some glaring omissions. No Stockholm or Helsinki but they include Winnipeg and Quebec City and Ottawa??!!
Doesn't really impact me as 95% of the tunes listed I don't consider music

 

[edolecki]

I love this feature.

It might be nice to add a city-specific search while browsing all of them as the list is long and will get longer over time. I'm guessing Apple is creating their own charts somehow - using their own play data mixed with local charting. I love listening to Warsaw, then bump over to Nairobi, etc.

Oops, the “Top 25 Lagos” is for a small town in Portugal with 22,000 people, rather than the city of Lagos in Nigeria with 20 million people. 😂

 

[Celtic-moniker]

Melbourne. Well this will be interesting.

 

[rmoliv]

Oops, the “Top 25 Lagos” is for a small town in Portugal with 22,000 people, rather than the city of Lagos in Nigeria with 20 million people. 😂

That's to make up for not having included Lisbon...

 

[Corsig]

This is actually something I'm very interested in. Always liked looking at the charts

 

[WWPD]

The lack of Amsterdam is disturbing.

 

[Expos of 1969]

This is actually something I'm very interested in. Always liked looking at the charts

But except for very few, they are so bloody similar...

 

[stuarty2003]

This is so anti-competitive.

No, it's Lagos, Nigeria

 

[Celtic-moniker]

Interesting there’s no Singapore or Hong Kong

 

[nawr]

For once I'm glad Helsinki's not there so I don't have to feel ashamed for my fellow citizens' taste in music.

 

[citysnaps]

So much complaining.

 

[Expos of 1969]

For once I'm glad Helsinki's not there so I don't have to feel ashamed for my fellow citizens' taste in music.

Well...if it is a choice of metal or Lil Baby, Lil Thug, Fatso Thee Stallion etc., I will take metal.

 

[Feyl]

Not a single rock artist in my city 🙁

 

[Marbles1]

It's interesting how global popular music has become - so many of the cities have the same artists in their top 25.

Thank god for curated playlists.

Would love apple to produce a 'John Peel' style show on apple music that exposes diverse genres and new songs; rather than the apple hat trick of 'pop', country and hip hop.

 

[1258186]

Why would I care what other people are listening to my city? Surely this should be by music genre rather than location.

 

[obamtl]

That's to make up for not having included Lisbon...

😂 They leave out Portugal’s largest city, and Nigeria’s largest city, only to make it up to Portugal with a Top 25 for a small town of 20,000 in Portugal that shares a name with one of the most populous cities in the world (Lagos).

I think someone in Apple’s Music division needs a lesson in Geography! 😂

 

[MBAir2010]

why is the music they promote as disposable as the device that is playing these so called songs?
