What Made It to Apple’s Best of 2018 List of Apps, Movies, Music and More?
Every year, Apple releases its ‘Best Of’ list, aka the apps, music, movies, podcasts and more that shaped entertainment and culture around the world. That list includes a global collection of top charts as well as selects from Apple’s team of editors of the best pop culture items to consume before the year is out.
This year, the list includes a whole lot of Drake (of course), A Star is Born, CBC’s podcast Escaping NXIVM, and the BBC America show Killing Eve, starring Sandra Oh. Read on for the full list, and brush up on some of these key pop culture moments before your holiday parties kick off. Because there’s nothing worse than feeling out of the loop as your colleagues endlessly debate the merits of each episode of a TV show you’ve never watched, right?
