Since October was one of the worst months for reading again this year, I figured than instead of a post about books, I could share some music with you again. The other week I finally went through my playlists and added tons of new songs, which inspired me to create a new Music ABC playlist. I made one a few years ago, but that was more than 2 years ago and was a playlist I made based on my all time favorite songs mostly. But I figured I could also share a playlist with some of my more recent favorites and some more all time favorites thrown in the mix. So that’s what this is, I hope you enjoy!

So before we get to the music, I think I should explain the concept to you. The first playlist was based around all time favorites, listed in alphabetical order by song title. If you would like to have a look at the first installment of this playlist, then please click here or search Music ABC in the search bar.

For this installment I wanted to focus more on current favorites: this is a selection of my favorites playlist. Again, most of the songs are ordered in alphabetical order again, but I didn’t have enough songs for the Q and X so I left those out of the equation and filled up some of the letters by artist rather than by song. There were some songs I just couldn’t leave out, so I found a way to include them that way.

In order to share them, I decided to not do in weekly steps with a different letter each week. Instead, I’m sharing the playlists in one go: via Spotify and Youtube. There are over 120 songs in this list and therefore lost of music to enjoy. There is a bit of everything here: from super big hits, to obscure indie, to some of my favorite dance tracks from recent years and ultimate, ultimate favorites by bands I have loved for years and whose albums I keep playing over and over. So there are some artists in this list that were also on the previous list, but some I haven’t featured before yet. Hope you enjoy!

Here is the spotify playlist:

Because not all songs are on Spotify (the bane of my existence), I have also created a playlist on Youtube as that does have a better selection of music. Plus that gives you music videos for many of these songs in case you’re interested. Some of those are also very much worth your while.
