Top 10 Holiday Playlist Hits!

Greetings to you dear human, I hope all is well in the world of blogging and general internetting.  Today i'm feeling musical and I realised i'd not done a musical blog post for a while so what better mood to write a musical blog than a musical mood?!  To celebrate this wondrous musical mood,  I thought I would but together my top 10 holiday playlist hits from the charts right now. For all of you who are heading off on your jolly's this summer, or if you're not, this post is sure to get you feeling mighty fine and ready to smash the summer!  10. Hideaway - Kiesza  This song is getting slightly old in the charts now but I feel that it's a great way to start off my summer playlist. I love this song as I love the easy going feeling it has to it. I feel like it is a great summer song and great to get you feeling in the summer mood but not too upbeat and dancey (that's not a word but you get my gist...) I'm thinking its more easy listening beach time chill kind of song... Are you imagining being on a beach now listening to this with the waves lapping around your feet? I know you are..  This is a great song with a fantastic feel good summer vibe and a perfect song choice for my No 10 spot. 

9. Fancy - Iggy Azalea

This is such a guilty pleasure of mine, I'm not usually a fan of songs like this one but I love Iggy. I love her style and her confidence to be such a strong female rapper - would you call her a rapper? I don't really know.. But anyway I totally love this song and although it is getting a bit old in the charts now, it is still a worthy place on my top 10 and a great way to get feeling fancy this summer. She's also rather fancy herself... 

8. Nobody To Love - Sigma  Now I do have to admit that  I was a sound hater of this song when I first heard it. To be totally honest I don't really understand it... however, adding this to my holiday playlist has turned me into a lover! I love putting it on when it's really sunny outside and i'm thinking about my holiday, it just gets me feeling all excited and ready to take on the day... or the week or what ever it may be when you're listening to it. If it's not on your holiday playlist, I strongly suggest that you get it on there now... go on do it... I promise you wont regret it when you put that playlist on!  The album cover is even on a beach... is it more worthy of a holiday playlist spot?! I think not!

7. I Got U - Duke Dumont 

So i'm going on holiday with the girlies in September, hence the summer holiday playlist which this whole blog post is based on... and this is the first song I put into my holiday playlist! If you've heard this song I'm pretty sure that you will know exactly what I mean. In my opinion I would say it's one of the best summer songs this year! It's just so feel good and as soon as it comes on I feel transferred to the middle of a luxury white sandy beach somewhere really warm with non stop cocktails coming my way... until I look out of my bedroom window and I'm back in gloomy grey Manchester..Great!  If you're going away anywhere this year, get in the mood by putting this song on when you're doing you're packing or just having one of those moments when you get really excited at a random point in the day. Such a great summer song and a great one to add to the holiday playlist.

6. Changes - Faul & Wad Ad vs Pnau

Have I mentioned that I am going away in September this year? Putting together a holiday playlist is one of the best parts of preparing for the wild antics of a girls holiday! This is one that has to go on the playlist. Another song with such a great summer vibe. If you're going on holiday you have to add it to your playlist too! I love the corus especially to this song, even though I have no idea what it actually says, you can just chant along to the chior it's got going on and you're good to go. I can just imagine this coming on being on holiday, I don't know why but I kinda of feel like i'm at a beach party... If it's not on your summer playlist, give it a listen and get adding!  

5. Rather Be - Clean Bandit

I'm slightly biased with this song as it's one of mine and D's really gay coupley songs so I automatically love it. However if you're single or you're in a relationship.. you know what it doesn't matter who you are, you should listen to this song. It's such a good feel good, I really feel like if you're feeling slightly down, maybe you're longing for it to be Friday but we're still stuck on Wednesday.. Put this song on and i'm sure you'll be smiling and singing along in no time. Perfect for a feel good No 5! 

4. Wasted - Tiesto 

 If this song doesn't get you in the mood to get your glad rags on and go party, I literally don't know what will. This is such a great song for the summer, might not be such an easy listening song but to get you in the mood for getting your drink on or escaping for that summer holiday, I think it's a must have on your playlist! And after a couple of glasses of wine, who doesn't love singing about being wasted?!

3. I Will Never Let You Down - Rita Ora

This is just a great feel good song, switch it on when you're getting ready to go out tonight and I guarantee you'll be put right in the mood to get those drinks flowing. I love that it's got quite a girly feel to it, I can image me and my girls in one of our favourite clubs outside Manchester belting it on the dance floor! Trust me, it's a must have to put in your 'getting drunk' playlist, don't try and deny the fact that you have one of those playlists - I know you do, and obviously brilliant for my holiday chart!

 
2. Waves - Mr Probz

What better way to get prepared for holiday than singing about waves? I love how chilled this song feels when you listen to it, but at the same time there's something about singing about waves that just transports you to being on holiday basking in the sun. It's more of a 'beach time listen' that a 'get your drink on' type of song. But you need those holiday chills as well, even when you're on a girls holiday - believe me! So this has made my number 2 spot purley because I love listening to it, closing my eyes and imagining that I'm on that beach.  

1. Gecko - Oliver Heldens & Becky Hill

This has actually recently hit the number one spot in the UK, knocking our Ella Henderson right off the top! Which in my opinion is a good thing but that's just me! Anyway back to my number 1 which is obviously way better and more official than the UK Top 40...
Not my usual type of easy listening feel good song but never the less this song is worthy of this spot and i'm sure that if you give it a listen you shall agree. Basically the reason that I chose it is the fact that it purely makes me imagine me and my girls at god knows what time in the morning dancing in some strange bar in the middle of Greece not knowing how we even ended up there.. and to be honest I couldn't be more excited for that experience. This is just the type of summer song that I feel NEEDS to be on that playlist of yours, even if you're not going away, get it on when you're getting glamed up for a night out and rest assured that you'll be getting that grove on in no time!

I hope you've enjoyed my top 10 holiday playlist and if you've not heard some of the songs on the list, give them a listen and get them on that playlist - I know that you'll love me for it, well I know that you do already but possibly love me more!

Maybe you have a totally different opinion on what you would have on your holiday playlist? I would love to hear what you think or if you have any suggestions for me to add onto mine - Get in touch!

Love,

Thoughts of a musical Friday afternoon

Hello my darlings! So i'm having a lovely Friday afternoon in work. I think the best thing to get keep motivated on a Friday afternoon is definitely music. Not just your average music though, it's Friday afternoon it's got to be real feel good stuff.

You know what's coming don't you? That's right, my top 5 music motivational tracks for a Friday afternoon.

5. Get Lucky - Daft Punk ft Pharrell Williams. I absolutely adore this song. It's brilliant at any point of the week but especially for a Friday afternoon. As any of my friends will know this is my ultimate jam. Yano like after you've had a few drinks and you hear your favourite tune and you're all like "oh dammmm, it's ma jaammm"? Yeah you know the feeling! (And yes that's actually what I say in the middle of a club...)

4. Little Talks - Of Monsters And Men. Ok, so if you actually listen to the lyrics of this song you might think that it's not a very uplifting motivational song for a Friday afternoon. However, the trumpet solo's in this song are hauntingly amazing. It's one of those that as it builds up you can really belt it out of a Friday afternoon and it does make you feel that little bit uplifted. Give it a listen, it's a brilliant song I assure you!

3. I Wanna Dance With Somebody - Whitney Houston. I am a well know Whitney fan girl in my house to the point where my sister will actually pause a playlist or the TV when a Whitney song comes on (most of the time I Will Always Love You, i'm a right good belter you see, Simon Cowell does not know what he's missing) so that I can run into the room and dance around like an over obsessed teenage girl. So Whitney obviously had to go on the list and what better way to get some Whitney motivation that wanting to dance with somebody?

2. Hakuna Matata - Disney's 'The Lion King'. How can it possibly be a good musical motivational Friday afternoon without Disney? Especially in the form 'Hakuna Matata' - it means no worries for the rest of your days...you know you want to sing along! Obviously all Disney song's are great of a Friday afternoon but singing about no worries with no worries, got to be the best! 

1. Song 2 - Blur. This is definitely an absolute all time favourite of mine. I don't think I could ever miss it off any top 5 or top 10 I ever create. Slightly random choice for number one but I don't think that this has ever come on shuffle and I've skipped it. Best Friday motivation ever, and it does literally make me want to scream "WAHOOO" especially when I walk out of the office at 5:30 on a Friday, you should give it a go! 

Well I hope you enjoyed my favourite 5 motivational Friday tunes. A very lovely mixture in my opinion and if you're ever feeling a bit rubbish on a Friday afternoon, give some of these a go and I am sure that they will lift your spirits.

I'd love to hear what tunes keep you motivated on a Friday afternoon!
