What does the Star mean on Apple Music?
If you are using Apple Music or the Music/iTunes app to enjoy your downloaded tunes, you’ll notice a star system for each song. You can rate each track from one to five stars, indicating how much you enjoyed it. Apple Music takes these ratings and uses them to inform its algorithms, tailoring recommendations based on your listening history and preferences.
The collective star rating data is then analysed, allowing Apple to identify the most popular tracks across various albums and genres. So, when you check out the all-time best-selling albums in your favourite genre or by your preferred artist, you are likely to spot at least one song with a star next to it.
