Seven Spotify Playlists for Any Moment

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

If you aren’t using Spotify for your primary music needs, you’re missing out! Besides being a great way to listen to music, Spotify also has hundreds of pre-made playlists (some of which are even personalized), for nearly every kind of mood, day, or need.

Check out the best Spotify playlists for your everyday needs below. Your newest music addiction could be a simple click away.

 

Have A Great Day!

This 100-song playlist contains the perfect songs to set good vibes for the rest of your day. Filled with oldies and classics, jamming out to this playlist when you’re getting ready is guaranteed to put you in a fantastic mood.

Includes songs like: “Come On Eileen” by Dexys Midnight Runners and “Under Pressure” by David Bowie & Queen

Listen here.

 

Relax & Unwind

After a long day of classes (or work), sometimes all I want to do is curl up with some coffee and relax. This playlist is ideal to listen to for when you need some calming background music. With a fairly indie and folk vibe, nothing is more soothing than ending the day with this playlist.

Includes songs like: “Stay With Me (Live)” by Angus & Julia Stone and “The Cave” by Mumford & Sons

Listen here.

 

Gold School

If you’re throwing a party or a pre-game, this is one of the best playlists to turn on before people start to arrive. Spotify frequently changes the songs in the playlist, but no matter what, it’s always a fun group of classic hip hop songs.

Includes songs like: “Rebirth of Slick (Cool Like Dat)” by Digable Planets and “If I Ruled The World (Imagine That)” by Nas, Ms. Lauryn Hill

Listen here.

Beast Mode

Corny name aside, this playlist is actually ideal for working out. If you’ve managed to find the time in your day to head to the gym (good for you, by the way), Beast Mode is a rap heavy playlist that is guaranteed to hype you up. It will keep you going throughout your entire workout, even if the gym facility sucks.

Includes songs like: “POWER” by Kanye West and “HUMBLE.” by Kendrick Lamar

Listen here.

 

New Noise

This playlist is strictly filled with the newest and most talked about rock and alternative songs of the week. Spotify makes sure to update it weekly, so you’re only getting the best and most recent songs.

Includes songs like: “One Foot” by WALK THE MOON and “Vacation Town” by The Front Bottoms

Listen here.

 

Peace

It’s difficult to come to terms with, but the world we’re living in is struggling with tolerance. When mass tragedies take place, it’s hard not to feel hopeless or small. If you feel lost, check out this playlist. Spotify created it strictly for these reasons; to unite the world through the common cause of music.

Includes songs like: “Bridge Over Troubled Water” by Simon & Garfunkel and “Imagine” by John Lennon

Listen here.

 

#ThrowbackThursday

The last playlist on this list is dedicated for the times where you just need to hear a good throwback. This awesome playlist is updated every week (hence the ‘Thursday’ part), and the themes vary. Sometimes it’s all ‘80s, and other weeks it’s only the best early 2000s jams.

Includes songs like: “Meeting in the Aisle” by Radiohead and “Got ‘Til It’s Gone” by Janet Jackson

Listen here.
