Its day ten already and I am feeling so prepared this year with Blogtober posts! Today I am writing about my most played songs on my Spotify account.
When I was a student at university I would always have music on when I was working in my room, or if I was traveling between home and university on the train I would have my iPod on. These days I use Spotify on my phone if I am listening to music when I am out or traveling back from mums on the bus sans kids! But my main time for listening to music is when I am blogging during the day or when I am cooking in the kitchen. We have one of the Spotify family accounts where we pay £14.99 a month and both Andy and myself can use it. We have Spotify hooked up to our Google Home Mini Speakers which are in our kitchen and in our bedroom. We may get another one to put into the boys room once its finished but its more likely to be a chrome cast we get for them.
So when I am in the kitchen I tend to either play a playlist of songs I have put together. At the moment I am really liking the music of Shawn Mendes, so after listening to all three of his albums on Spotify I put together a playlist of some of his songs that I really like. I really love his early stuff from Handwritten and Illuminate like Life of the Party, Something Big and Nothing Holding Me Back. I also love Fallin All In You and If I Can't Have You which are both amazing!
I have also been playing the Jonas Brothers Sucker a lot and Freddie is totally obsessed with the song and he will actually run into the kitchen and shout "Hey Google Play Sucker!" We even have a playlist which is just Sucker on repeat five times! Its so funny when it starts again Freddie shouts "oh its another Sucker!" He gets so excited and dances round the kitchen when we have it on before school!
After these two playlists my next most played list is the Bedtime list. This is where I have saved the Disney Lullaby album that we play at bedtime for Freddie. Normally we don't even get halfway through the playlist before he is asleep.
I am always looking out for new music to listen to, even thought I tend to always revert back to my old favourites of Westlife and D-Side!
Music has always been a big part of my life, but since we bought the Google Home Mini back in January I always have music on in the kitchen when I am cooking or sorting washing out. I will also have music on while I am working on the laptop! In fact I have music on while I am writing this post!
We have got my Spotify account attached to the Home Mini So today's post is all about what are my most played albums on Spotify!
Album Number One is Disney Lullaby Album. This album has been a godsend for getting Freddie to sleep on a night.
Freddie is one of those kids that needs music to go to sleep. Where as James would use his Baby Tad, Freddie seems to need music to get to sleep!
Normally the album only needs playing once and then he is asleep, but a few times it has had to be played two or three times!
Album Two is Stronger Together by D-Side. Now this band was a huge part of my teenage years and my early twenties.
This album was the only one released in the UK, but another three were released in Japan, which I actually ordered online and imported!
I am always playing this in the house as it is one of my favourite albums! I still keep in touch with some of the guys online. In fact Derek actually presents on Milkshake on Channel 5 which the boys love!
And finally Album Number Three is Elliot Minor by you guessed it Elliot Minor! I first saw this band when they were called The Academy and they supported McFly in Newcastle.
After that I was hooked on them! I saw them do small shows on their own tours, They also did a full tour supporting McFly and I saw them in Manchester when I was at university and then I came home to see them play in Newcastle as we were front row! They released two albums, but this one is my favourite and I have it on virtually every day!
So there you go these are my Top Three Spotify most played albums! If you can suggest any music to listen too or if you have listened to these three let me know what you think of them!
