To mark the anniversary, Apple is rebranding Beats 1 as Apple Music 1 and is adding two new stations: Apple Music Hits, which plays hits from the 1980s through the 2000s, and Apple Music Country, which focuses on modern country music. You can still listen to Apple Music 1 without an Apple Music subscription, but Apple Music Hits and Apple Music Country are available for only a limited time without one.
