FIRST
XM is proud to play the artists you've always loved and the artists you are about to love. Gold record sales. Critical acclaim. Obscure recordings. Lost tracks. XM plays them all with the industry's deepest playlists.

LIVE
XM provides its listeners with live broadcasts from the Bonnaroo Music Festival, Phish's Coventry Festival, Willie Nelson's Annual Fourth of July Picnic, the Telluride Folk Festival, the MerleFest Bluegrass Festival, the Shortlist of Music Awards Concert, the Vote for Change Concerts, and even live from XM's own Performance Theater.

XM's program directors help you fall in love with music all over again, introducing you to new artists on the verge of being the next great thing, or playing that rockin' band still flying below the radar.

ARTISTS
"I have an XM Satellite Radio in my car. I love the variety of music, from jazz to hip-hop—even The Smurfs!"

"What I like about XM is that you'll hear abstract s*#t that you didn't even know a guy did. Instead of the same Nelly tunes, gimme something Nelly did on a B-side. And it's uncut, too. XM Radio is the shiznit!"

"What I love about XM is that they have something for everybody: pop, country, rock & roll, news talk, whatever. Right now, XM radio is the best radio there is."

"As radio is increasingly geared toward the lowest common denominator, it's nice to have a choice that reflects a less homogeneous and more diverse spirit."

"XM's programming has pushed radio into a positive and personal place. I love it."

"Endless music with no commercials — sounds like a revolution to me."
