City Charts is easy to navigate on Apple Music.
New service broadcasts music scenes to the rest of the world
Apple announced that its Music app has launched City Charts, highlighting the trending tracks in a particular city, bringing cultures to the world stage and bringing both local and global artists to a top platform for musical discovery.
Standard music charts rank tracks based simply on the number of plays. Apple has redefined this by combining this and other signs of local popularity to rank the top 25 songs gaining momentum with listeners locally. This positions the service to capture and broadcast the real deals in the music scene around the world.
Since the rollout of iOS 14 last fall, updates to Apple’s mobile OS have been relatively small; some new emoji here, bug fixes there. But iOS 14.5, which should arrive any day now, brings with it some pretty noteworthy additions, from new ways to unlock your phone while wearing a mask to support for the latest Xbox and PlayStation controllers.
The second beta of iOS 14.5 arrived this week, so the final release should roll out soon. You can keep tabs on it via
Settings > General > Software Update. When it does launch, here’s what you can expect.
