Apple is today celebrating one year of Apple Music and Beats 1 radio. The company has put out a new video that showcases some of the station’s highlights, like big interviews with stars like Drake, Adele, Taylor Swift, Will Smith, and Alecia Keys.

When it launched last June, Beats 1 became the first worldwide station broadcasting live 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Its studios in Los Angeles, New York, and London serve over 100 countries with the hottest music, exclusive interviews, and guest hosts.

It’s now been a whole year since Beats 1 went live, and during that time, there hasn’t been a dull moment. The station has hosted shows from the likes of Dr. Dre, DJ Khaled, Elton John, and Pharrell Williams — plus interviews with the biggest names.

Apple reminds us of all that in its “Beats 1: 1 Year” video, which features clips with One Direction, Gwen Stefani, Ellie Goulding, A$AP Rocky, Mary J. Blige, Calvin Harris, and many more.

Beats 1 is free for all to enjoy — even without an Apple Music subscription — and you can find it inside the Music app on iOS under the Radio tab. You can also listen to Beats 1 on your desktop through iTunes.
