Currently using Music Bar which does a great job showing the song in the menu bar, but the popup UI is not exactly good looking.
Someone remade the iTunes music widget for MacOS and Apple Music

It looks just like the old iTunes dashboard widget but it stays on your desktop since the dashboard is no more of course. You can even make it always stay on top of other windows. I have it tucked in a corner on my second monitor (mostly out of nostalgia since I also have Music Bar in my menu bar).

Spotmenu - If you want to see your Spotify music in your taskbar. I don't use this anymore since I have it configured to show up on my touch bar. Note that the latest OS has this baked into the Notification Center, but it's an extra click away.
