The playlist will premiere on the Apple Music 1 radio station for free at 6 a.m. UK time on Monday, March 10, which is Commonwealth Day. It will be replayed multiple times throughout Monday and Tuesday on both the Apple Music 1 and Apple Music Hits stations, and Apple Music subscribers will be able to listen to the playlist on demand at any time.

This is horrifying. Literally no one asked for this.

Very cool. For being as old as he is, His Majesty is remarkably up on tech. It's sad but I can see the cheapshots being lobbed his way. He gets alot of unfair scorn imo. Some is deserved but certainly not all.

King Charles dropping an Apple Music playlist? At his age, I bet it’s just 12 hours of vinyl crackle and a looped rendition of "God Save the King" from when he still had to wind up the gramophone!

There are a number of people who like the Monarchy. This is a good collab.

As a baby boomer his taste of music will be reflective of his time.

Apple did.

Apple did. Do you know what "literally" means? It's a word in the King's English.

Now that's a headline I didn't expect to see.

(please be Pink Floyd or Queen, please be Pink Floyd or Queen, please be Pink Floyd or Queen...)

Good for him. Music should be for everyone to enjoy.

 

[imamacperson]

The reptilian listens to music?

 

[jz0309]

As long as it is not downloaded to my Music (remember U2?) I don’t care.

I'll gladly take you up on that bet.

 

[N0ughtsAndCr0sses]

Imagine the guy PERFORMING at some big EDM festival

Ultra in Miami or here on the old continent at Tomorrowland 🤣🤣🤣🤘🏻🤙🏻

 

[biggus]

It's mostly Gary Glitter, Jerry Lee Lewis and R Kelly

 

[omglolbbq]

Yeah, but you don’t see me advertising my playlist.

 

[Fuzzball84]

Yeah, but you don’t see me advertising my playlist.

Because you’re not famous, maybe 😂

 

[Fuzzball84]

It's mostly Gary Glitter, Jerry Lee Lewis and R Kelly

That’s a bit offensive.

 

[svish]

Interesting. Looking forward to seeing what is on the list in the coming days.

 

[ThomasJL]

I'm guessing the Sex Pistols song "God Save the Queen" is not on his playlist.

I'd listen to that.

 

[anthogag]

One playlist should be “Oh Canada”. Canada is a Commonwealth country.

You're talking through your hat. Charles is a baby-boomer who grew up with rock music, and gramophones had largely been discontinued by the time he was allowed to manipulate such a device.

 

[rp2011]

Nice! Good to see Starship's "We Built This City" and The Macarena getting love. Aqua's Barbie Girl, My Humps too. Not bad at all Charles!

Do you know what "literally" means? It's a word in the King's English.

“Literally” has been used figuratively and emphatically for centuries—at least as far back as the 18th Century. It wasn’t until the 20th Century that people with self-assigned grammatical superiority declared that literally must only be used denotatively.

The emphatic “literally” is not a millennial invention; it goes back to the 1700s at least, though Smith gets it right that it’s English. John Dryden, a man who is best known as the founder of literary criticism and the prohibition against the terminal preposition, was an early user of the emphatic “literally.” Charlotte Brontë, Jane Austen, Mark Twain, Charles Dickens, William Thackeray, Vladimir Nabokov, and David Foster Wallace all used the emphatic “literally” in their works. Even Lindley Murray, 19th-century grammarian, uses the hyperbolic “literally” in his own grammar — and he was such a peever that he thought children, along with animals, shouldn’t be referred to with the pronoun “who,” as “who” conveys personhood, and only creatures with the ability to be rational are actually people.
