Olivia Dean | Artist of the Year 2026 | Apple Music

What did you think?

What does Olivia Dean pick as the highlight of a year she sums up as "mental"? Getting out on tour and meeting the people listening to her music.

Apple Music's Artist of the Year tribute cuts between her interview, earlier radio visits and live performances. Dean describes the diversity of her concert audiences, with an on-screen sign declaring that someone came from Brazil to see her. Asked what she would tell herself, she returns to staying grounded and holding onto her original artistic intentions. Her closing words to listeners are simple: "Thank you for changing my life."

The feature was the most-watched of the channel's two new uploads, reaching about 39,000 views. In the comments, listeners describe how thoroughly her music has taken over their playlists; one collector discusses owning both the UK and Japanese editions of The Art of Loving.

The other arrival brings a longer career into focus. Busta Rhymes joins Ebro, Lowkey, Eddie and Nick on Rap Life Review to discuss his style, DILLAGENCE II and the thirtieth anniversary of The Coming. The episode also reviews Lil Baby's 'Fresh' and currently has the strongest daily viewing of the highlighted uploads, though it has only just arrived.

Apple Music's subscriber count was unchanged over the week, while daily views are close to their usual level. Nearby music channels present a mixed picture: triple j is a little below its normal daily viewing, while On The Radar Radio is running at less than half its usual pace.

An older draw is Apple Music's own brand-identity film, now past a million views. It shows Fred again.. and NEST Acoustics turning sound into a physical, in-camera version of the logo: an advertisement with a making-of story at its center.
