OK Shawn, not really, however, here's what you can do which will get you pretty much what you're wanting.
Invoke Siri, and say something to the effect of: "Play the top songs from 1975." Play songs from 1982." That seems to work for me. Another thing you can do is in the Music app, double tap the New tab. It's the second one from the far left, one flick right of the For you tab. At the top of the screen, you'll now see a button that says all genres. If you double tap this, you now can pick a specific genre to hear, or, you can also look after double tapping the genre, and there will be a heading that says top songs. If you double tap the button in that heading, you'll be taken to a screen with the current top songs of that genre in Apple Music Radio, not to be confused with Beats 1. In here, you can play all the songs back to back, or you can pick the one you want to hear, and go from there. Finally, yes, to answer your question, Apple did indeed buy out Beats Music, yes. If you have a Beats Music subscription though, I'd not advise cancelling it yet. Mainly because the Apple TV doesn't quite yet have the Apple Music built in to the OS, and probably won't until the Fall from what very very little I hear. Also sames goes with the Android side of things, so if in addition to your Apple devices, you, like me, have an Android device as well, all you now will have at this point is Beats Music. I think eventually around the Fall, that will probably get phaised out entirely, but it hasn't been so yet.

Didn't Apple buy out Beats Music and therefore change the name to Apple Music? In any event, I'm pretty happy with Apple Music. I actually listened to Beats 1 practically when it launched. I'm surprised and disappointed, however, that it doesn't have a decades area in the radio section so I could listen to music from a particular decade like the 80s. If there is one though, feel free to point me in the right direction. Thanks.

I've been practically all day listenning to things over here during the workday, and let me tell you, I am blown away! This puts Pandora, Spottify, Beats Music, Slacker, all that stuff to bloody freaking shame! And, further, the Siri integration with Apple Music is breathtaking! I'm getting quite confident with using it on I O S, so if anyone needs some help getting it up and running, shoot me back a reply, and it would be an honor! to help you out with it.
