Today (December 9), Summer Walker announced Over It Radio, a show exclusively available on Apple Music. The forthcoming six-episode series is slated to debut its first episode on this Friday, December 13. In the series’ promotional teaser (viewable here), Summer has a chat with each of her musical eras (Over It and Still Over It).
Although Summer is sure to provide Easter eggs about her upcoming studio album, the show isn’t just limited to her discography. Over It Radio will dive into other topics including relationships, motherhood, and friendship.
“My vision for ‘Over It Radio’ is to create a safe space where I can own my own narrative and provide a platform for the women I admire in the entertainment industry to do the same,” said Summer in a statement. “We discuss the topics that matter to them, without any hidden agendas. Listeners can look forward to hearing powerful, accomplished women celebrating their successes, sharing their frustrations about what they’re ready to move on from and keeping it real about the challenges they face as women, mothers and entrepreneurs.”
For the inaugural episode, Summer’s “I Might” collaborator Sexyy Red, will drop in to set the tone for what’s to come.
Over It Radio with Summer Walker on Apple Music will launch on December 13. Find more information here.

It’s officially December, which is when folks tend to start looking back on how their year went. That perhaps most notably applies to the music world, as early December is when users of streaming platforms like Apple Music and Spotify get their year-end listening activity recaps that take over social media. Well, Apple Music’s version of that, Replay 2024, has arrived today (December 3).
The experience is available now via either the Apple Music app (for iPhone users on iOS 18.1 or later) or replay.music.apple.com.
Aside from the usual look at a user’s most-playing songs, artists, and albums of the year, Apple has introduced some new features this year. Previously, users could see if they were among the top 100 listeners of a certain artist or genre, but now that has been expanded to the top 500 and top 1,000. Users can also learn the most consecutive days they’ve listened to Apple Music.
Other highlights include the top artist streak, which lets users see if they’ve had an artist as their top artist for consecutive months. There’s also a monthly replay, and a date of first play, so users can see when they first listened to their top song, artist, and album.
Meanwhile, Apple Music also unveiled its year-end charts today. Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” was the top-streamed song on Apple Music globally, Benson Boone’s “Beautiful Things” was the most-identified song on Shazam, and Dua Lipa’s “Houdini” is the most-played song on radio worldwide.
It’s almost that time again: when you learn that “Night Moves” by Bob Seger is your most-played song for the seventh year in a row (just me?). Spotify Wrapped is coming soon, as is Apple Music Replay, which calculates an Apple Music listener’s top songs, albums, artists, playlists, genres, and stations. But when you will be able to see your 2024 Replay?

In less than 24 hours, Kendrick Lamar’s surprise drop of GNX made his album the number-one album on Apple Music. Popular social media account Kurrco broke the news on Friday evening (Nov. 22), announcing the album was the fattest to reach #1 in the platform’s rap category. Released unconventionally, the new album has taken over social media with various trends ranging from Mustard’s name referral to conspiracy theories behind the release date to the raps about various superstars like Lil Wayne, Snoop Dogg, and Nas.
According to Chart Data, each song on the new album is among Apple’s Top 12 songs. Fans were surprised that the new album did not include previously viral hits “Euphoria” and “Not Like Us.” Among the standout tracks is “heart part 6,” a continuation of his celebrated series and a subtle nod to his historical exchanges with Drake. In “wacced out murals,” Kendrick responds to Lil Wayne and the upcoming Super Bowl performance.
In March, the rapper shared a photo on Instagram of the vehicle that inspired the album. It builds anticipation for the biggest moment of the artist’s career coming in 2025. Lamar will take center stage in February as the headliner for the Apple Music Super Bowl Halftime Show in New Orleans. While the choice has been celebrated by many, it has also sparked debate. Critics argue that Lil Wayne, a New Orleans native and hip-hop legend, would have been a more fitting selection for the event in his hometown.
GNX follows Lamar’s critically acclaimed 2022 album, Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers, which earned the Grammy for Best Rap Album earlier this year. “Not Like Us” already generating buzz. Lamar’s new music has captured Grammy nominations in major categories, including Song of the Year and Record of the Year. With GNX, Kendrick Lamar demonstrates his ability to surprise, innovate, and captivate. The album not only solidifies his legacy but also sets the stage for an electrifying year ahead in music and culture.
Joe Budden spoke at length about Drake and what’s next in the Toronto rapper’s career during the latest episode of his self-titled podcast. In doing so, he expressed his hope that Drake will return to making emotionally candid music while also suggesting that Apple Music may be beefing with him behind the scenes.
“In 2025, I would love to hear vulnerable Drake make a return,” Budden began. “Not mafioso Drake, not ‘No Face’ Drake, just tell us how you feel for real, once.” From there, the crew agreed that Drake candidly reflecting on the beef with Kendrick Lamar and his tumultuous year is unlikely. “The ‘No Face’ video came and went,” Budden remarked of Drake’s track from August. “You got high hopes for what this Drake-Party album’s supposed to be? I do because I love Party and R&B Drake, but I don’t think that’s gonna move the pendulum the way that it needs to.”

The group then turned to Apple Music choosing Kendrick Lamar as the Rap Artist of the Year. One of Budden’s co-hosts theorized that the technology company is feuding with Drake and that’s why they’re also collaborating with The Weeknd. “There’s some tech sh*t going on here. I think these companies are doing some other sh*t,” they said. Budden agreed while complaining that the companies are profiting too much off of Drake’s beefs.
Joe Budden Shares His Expectations For Drake
Drake is currently gearing up for the release of a collaborative album with PartyNextDoor. Further details are unavailable but it’s expected to release sometime in 2024. Check out Joe Budden’s full comments on Drake below.

Earlier this year, Apple Music published a viral — and controversial — list of its 100 best albums, as curated by a survey of editors from across the spectrum of music critics and journalists. While its contents drew some criticism from fans online, it certainly garnered plenty of attention — but was it enough attention to justify a $450 hardcover book?
That’s what Apple is banking on, with its announcement today that it’ll be publishing the book with luxury lifestyle brand Assouline. Part of the list price is due to its limited availability; only 1,500 copies will be published, with their individual edition numbers etched on the covers. The interiors will also be hand-numbered, while the pages are said to bear gilded edges. Each of the 100 essays will be accompanied by full-page album illustrations, and the whole thing will feature a foreword from Zane Lowe, the Creative Director of Apple Music 1 radio.
The announcement has unsurprisingly sparked wide-ranging reactions from commenters on Twitter (never calling it “X,” be serious), as music fans criticized the cover price and roasted the list itself all over again. “Apple is releasing a $450 Apple Music coffee table book (a la the $300 Designed by Apple book I still regret not buying) and the price isn’t what is making me laugh,” summed up one commenter. “It’s that it’s for Apple’s truly unhinged 100 Albums of All Time list. It’s not a good list! I cannot imagine making such a beautiful book for such a terrible list!”
Another wrote bluntly, “Anyone who spends $450 on that limited run Apple Music book celebrating its 100 best albums deserves to be smacked over the head with it.”
Still, despite the controversy over the list and book’s price, there were plenty of positive reactions — and pledges to drop the equivalent of a car note to secure the potential collector’s item. You can find more information about the book and pre-order it here.
Weeks apart, rap’s dynamic duo Megan Thee Stallion and GloRilla dropped new albums. For Megan Thee Stallion that body of work was Megan: Act II. While GloRilla released her long-awaited debut album, Glorious. Along the way the two emcees have racked up quite the busy with notable collaborations, from the tracks “How I Look,” “Wanna Be” and “Accent,” to a successful performance run on the Hot Girl Summer Tour.
Their musical chemistry (a far cry from their first impression of each other) has sparked demands for the rappers to drop more music together. Now, fans are demanding a full-out collaborative album. But will Megan Thee Stallion and GloRilla actually give into supporters’ request? Today (October 29), GloRilla sat down with Ebro Darden on Apple Music 1 and further fanned the flames of its possibility.
“Is there truth to the rumor of you and Megan Thee Stallion having a joint project,” asked Ebro. “Y’all got some heat, y’all recorded some things.”
GloRilla followed up, saying: “Yep.”
But that wasn’t the confirmation Ebro needed so he followed up with: “But you can’t confirm nor deny.”
Evasively, GloRilla answered: “Right.”
Well, in a Stationhead broadcast (captured by Inside The Industry podcast) Megan Thee Stallion shed light on what’s holding the potential project up. “We’re both so busy,” she said. “We said we were going to sit down in December and start working on it. So, y’all really need to spam Glo for real because we’re both bullsh*ters.”
