Your Favorite Weekly Music Blog – Presented by Spotify

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at BC chapter.

What’s your new favorite thing about fall semester? Well, it has to be the fact that Her Campus BC is going to be dishing out all kinds of songs on a weekly basis this semester. I, Elaina Bell, am Her Campus BC’s resident Spotify ambassador. This means that any and all songs that I post in these blogs will be added to the master Her Campus BC Spotify playlist, so you all can access them anytime you want to give them a listen. Each week will have some sort of theme, and I am always open to requests.

I thought I’d kick off this master Spotify playlist with a theme that everyone is sure to be familiar with, The Billboard Hot 100. The Billboard Hot 100 is, as you should know unless you live under a rock of sorts, the ever-changing list of the top 100 songs currently circling America. This list is determined by radio coverage, sales, and other quantitative and qualitative factors. Here is the cream of the crop, the top dogs, the heavy hitters of the music industry right now – the Top 10 of the Hot 100 (as of 10/8/2013).

 

  1. Lorde – Royals
  2. Katy Perry – Roar
  3. Miley Cyrus – Wrecking Ball
  4. Drake, Majid Johnson – Hold On, We’re Going Home
  5. Avicii – Wake Me Up!
  6. Jay-Z and Justin Timberlake – Holy Grail
  7. Robin Thicke feat. T.I. and Pharell – Blurred Lines
  8. Ylvis – The Fox
  9. Lady Gaga – Applause
  10. Lana Del Rey, Cedric Gervais – Summertime Sadness

Big congrats to Lorde! This 16 year old from New Zealand is currently Queen Bee.

Any and all of these songs can be seen and heard on Her Campus BC’s Spotify playlist, which I will be updating weekly with the songs I post.

Happy listening!
