Once you add a few artists as favorites, you might want to use this list of artists as a way to quickly browse for music. To see your favorites, tap Listen Now at the bottom of the screen and then scroll down to the Favorite Artists section. You can tap an artist if you see what you're looking for, or tap Favorite Artists and browse the complete list.

How to remove favorite artists from Apple Music

It's entirely possible to favorite an artist by mistake or get bored with their music and decide you'd like to remove the artist from your list of favorites. Removing a favorite is essentially the same as marking a favorite, only in reverse.

First, find the favorite artist you want to remove. You can do this by using the Search icon or by browsing via the Favorite Artists section on the Listen Now page. Once you've arrived on the artist's page, tap the Star icon at the top. The star should be deselected and the artist will be removed from your list of favorites.
