How to Create Your Own Custom Radio Stations on YouTube Music

Although YouTube Music has a ton of algorithm-generated mixes available to its users, the introduction of the new Custom Radio Stations feature gives users more control over the type of songs that they listen to on the app. With the new custom radio stations feature on YouTube Music, you can pick up to 30 artists when creating your own radio station, choose how frequently these artists will appear, etc. Doing this gives the algorithm a better idea of the kind of artists and music that should be added to your station.

While popular music streaming services like Spotify and Apple Music offer a similar radio station feature that also allows users to create playlists based on a specific song or artist, YouTube’s new radio station feature takes it a step further and offers more flexibility.

In this article, we will show you how to create your own custom Stations on YouTube Music.
