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.

Chris.

  Hey Chris. 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.

    Wanted to see what you guys thought of Apple music so far!  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.

    Chris.
