100 Best Albums Radio

As host of her namesake Apple Music 1 show, broadcaster Dotty has a big self-proclaimed goal: to bring Black music culture from around the world to life. And she’s remarkably suited for the task: She grew up in global music mecca London as a second-generation immigrant—“all of my grandparents came to the UK from the Caribbean during the Windrush generation,” she explains—and surrounded herself with soul from the US, dancehall from Jamaica, and much more. “I love all branches of the Black music tree, from reggae to R&B,” she says. The Dotty Show finds her interviewing the artists lighting up Apple Music with the biggest tracks across hip-hop, dancehall, Afrobeats, and everything in between, from the UK and beyond. “It’s wall-to-wall Black music from all across the globe,” she says. “A guided tour of the very best.” Tune in to The Dotty Show every Monday through Thursday on Apple Music 1 at 7 am LA/10 am NYC/3 pm LDN.

You might know her for her hit single “American Boy”, but Estelle—a Grammy-winning singer and accomplished actor—is an international woman. She’s one of nine siblings born in London to Grenadian and Senegalese parents, was raised musically on US gospel and hip-hop, moved to Los Angeles (for “career and peace”, she says) and has long collaborated with American peers like John Legend, Rick Ross, Kanye West and many more. On Apple Music Hits’ The Estelle Show, the singer shows off tastes that range from legends like Bob Marley, Prince and Madonna to 21st-century ground-shakers like Wizkid and Lil Wayne. But they’ve all got one thing in common: They’ve made what she considers to be some of the best music of the past few decades. "With my show," she says, "you get to go into my mind, influences and loves across the board as a kid from London to an adult now living in LA.” Listen to The Estelle Show every Monday through Friday, only on Apple Music Hits.

If you haven't had the pleasure of visiting Music City, The Ward Guenther Show on Apple Music Country is as close to the real thing as you can get.

The Mississippi-born, Memphis-raised Ward has a similar focus on his namesake Apple Music Country show: “We are identifying and shining a light on new music and new artists at quite possibly the most important part of an artist's journey,” he says. “They are finding their voice, their style, and most importantly their audience.” To hear Ward showcase the freshest faces on Nashville's colorful and constantly evolving music scene, don’t miss The Ward Guenther Show Monday through Thursday on Apple Music Country at 1 pm LA/4 pm NYC/9 pm LDN.
