With YouTube Music, you can create a radio station from a single song. The song will play continuously until it reaches the end of the queue. Plus, you can save your personalized playlist as a regular playlist for future use.
Create a Radio has just arrived and it’s definitely one of the most innovative features we’ve seen in music streaming . What does it do? It lets you create your own radio stations with a few simple clicks, where you can choose between different building blocks, such as artists or genres, so whether you’re looking for laid-back beats or new discoveries – Create a Radio has something for everyone!

From the Home feed, scroll until you find the “Create a radio” card labeled “Your Music Tuner.” You’re then presented with an endless grid of artists, with the ability to select up to 30. Next, you specify whether the “Song selection” — or “frequency of those artists” — should be: Familiar, Blend, or Discover.
Additionally, you can choose filters like Popular, Deep cuts, and New releases, Pump-up, Chill, Upbeat, and Downbeat. Sometimes, YouTube Music will note when there are no songs to play and you should try different options.
Once completed, you'll be rewarded with a personalized radio that constantly updates with the new layout. The playlist will be named after the artists and features you've selected - just be careful not to select too many, as it can get quite chaotic!
