On April 1, Apple celebrated its 40th anniversary, marking four decades since Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak, and Ronald Wayne co-founded the company.
To mark the occasion, Apple shared a 40th anniversary video, flew a pirate flag at its Cupertino headquarters, held a beer bash, and launched an Apple Music playlist filled with songs that have been used in past Apple advertising spots.
Apple’s playlist includes 40 tracks from a wide range of genres, featuring artists and bands from The Rolling Stones to Adele to Coldplay. Songs from Apple ads highlighting a number of products are included, like Paul McCartney’s Dance Tonight, used in a well-known iPod commercial, and Alabama Shakes’ Sound & Color, used in a recent iPad Pro commercial.
Apple’s “Apple 40” anniversary playlist is available to all Apple Music subscribers and can be accessed under the “New” section under Hot Playlists. It can also be accessed through this link.
