Apple has the winners of its third annual Apple Music Awards that recognised top artists from around the world for 2021. Apple explains the music award recognises five distinct categories – Artist of the Year, Songwriter of the Year, Breakthrough Artist of the Year, Top Song of the Year, and Top Album of the Year. The winners are chosen through a process “that reflects both Apple Music’s editorial perspective and what customers around the world are listening to the most.”
