Welcome to the ultimate playlist, a musical journey that takes you on a ride through the decades. From classic hits to modern chart-toppers, this playlist has something for everyone. As we take you through the ages, you'll discover iconic songs that have shaped the music industry.
We're kicking off with a bang, featuring Elvis Presley's 1958 hit "Jailhouse Rock", a rock 'n' roll anthem that still gets us moving today. Fast-forward to 2014, and Clean Bandit's "Rather Be" (feat. Jess Glynne) is dominating the charts with its catchy beat and infectious melody.
The 80s and 90s are well-represented, with Men At Work's "Down Under" (1983) and The Offspring's "Pretty Fly (For A White Guy)" (1999) showcasing the era's eclectic mix of rock, pop, and new wave. Meanwhile, The Monkees' 1967 classic "I'm a Believer" and Ed Sheeran's 2017 smash hit "Shape of You" demonstrate the timeless appeal of great songwriting.
We're also celebrating the iconic female voices that have made music history. From Whitney Houston's powerful ballad "I Will Always Love You" (1993) to Adele's heart-wrenching "Someone Like You" (2011), these songs continue to move and inspire us. And let's not forget Olivia Rodrigo's chart-topping "drivers license" (2021), a modern hit that's taking the world by storm.
As we journey through the playlist, you'll encounter an array of genres, from hip-hop and R&B to electronic and indie rock. You'll hear the likes of Dr. Dre, Prince, and Michael Jackson, as well as more recent chart-toppers like Taylor Swift and Rihanna.
Throughout the playlist, you'll discover unexpected pairings and collaborations that have resulted in some truly unforgettable songs. Take George Michael and Aretha Franklin's "I Knew You Were Waiting (For Me)" (1987), or the iconic duet "Without You" by Harry Nilsson (1972).
With so many incredible songs to choose from, we've curated a playlist that's guaranteed to get you singing along, dancing, and maybe even discovering new favourites. So sit back, relax, and enjoy the musical ride!
