'The A-List: Country' is the Next Apple Music Playlist to Receive a Name Change, Now 'Today's Country'

After updating its "The A-List" playlists for genres like alternative and hip-hop, [Apple Music][1] has now changed "The A-List: Country" to "Today's Country." This playlist will essentially be the same, keeping track of all of the latest songs coming out of the country music genre, updated every day, while simply ditching "The A-List" moniker that has been around essentially since ‌Apple Music‌ launched in 2015.

Apple began a large-scale playlist rebranding earlier in 2019, switching "The A-List: Dance" to "danceXL," "The A-List: Hip-Hop" to "[Rap Life][3]," "The A-List: Alternative" to "[ALT CTRL][4]," and "Best of the Week" to "[New Music Daily][5]." One of the few remaining playlists to retain the "A-List" branding is for the pop genre, which now has a simple "A-List Pop" title.

More niche sub-genres are still using the original A-List name style, like Bollywood, K-Pop, Classical, Mandopop, and Russian Hip-Hop. Apple has also launched brand-new playlists this year, like the [Shazam Discovery Top 50][6], which is powered by shazams made around the world to highlight up-and-coming songs and artists that users are discovering any given week.
