We all enjoy music. For most, I think it's safe to say we listen to our music choices on Spotify. Every song we could ever want to hear is right at our fingertips on the music streaming service app. Whatever emotions I'm feeling, there is always a song or album that perfectly sums up my mood on Spotify. So I make playlists for whatever mood I'm in or for whatever activity I'm doing. Here are some of the playlists we can all admit to making.
1. Workout Playlist
Whether it's Drake, Red Hot Chili Peppers or Thomas Rhett, I always put faster music on this playlist that will get me prepared to sweat on the treadmill. I mean, who doesn't want to start running fast when they hear "By The Way" by RHCP?
2. Breakup Playlist
Okay we have all had them - breakups. Whether you've known them for a month or ten years, it's hard to say goodbye to a relationship with someone you really loved. I think we can all agree that the answer to any breakup is Adele. Listen to "Someone Like You" if you really want a good cry.
3. Driving Playlist
If I'm driving with friends or even alone for long periods of time, I like to have a playlist ready to go with a little bit of everything. Include music from a new star like Maren Morris, some classic Backstreet Boys hits as well as that rap song by Eminem that you know every word to.
4. Cleaning Playlist
I hate doing a lot of the chores around my house but they are made more enjoyable whenever I have music playing in the background. I usually add music that will pump me up and make me want to work faster. A staple for me is "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen. I still haven't mastered all of the lyrics but I get better each time I attempt to sing along to it.
5. Mellow Playlist
We have all had the feeling of just wanting to relax with a good book or wanting to sit outside in the sunshine on a early fall day. For times like these, I include mellow, calm music by the likes of Coldplay, Band of Horses, City and Colour, Gregory Alan Isakov, Bon Iver and my favorite, Jason Mraz.
6. Dance Playlist
There are few things more enjoyable then preparing for a night out with friends. For my best friends and I, we love to dance around to some fierce female pop stars like Rihanna, Britney Spears and Katy Perry to get in the mood as we do our hair and makeup.
7. Holiday Playlist
For whatever holiday it may be, there is always music that we can associate with that time of year. A personal favorite of mine is the Christmas tunes that start to arrive on the radio as the holidays approach. Michael Bublé, James Taylor and Frank Sinatra are some of the classics played in my house during the winter months.
8. Genre Playlists
Sometimes I want to listen to only rap and hip hop, other times I crave good, new pop music. A sure bet for me is country music so I always have a playlist ready with Zac Brown Band, Florida Georgia Line and Sam Hunt.
