‌🎵‌ 🫧 The O2 Community Apple Music Playlist 🫧 ‌🎵‌

Hi all

Since we've started the Priority Music Highlights weekly topics on the community we've been wanting to feature more something that most of us love and that has such a strong relation with O2 (and to this country for that matter): music.

So we thought that creating a collaborative playlist with all of you would be a great way to do that. This is meant to be an ongoing "project" between us all and a space to share music tips and ~good vibrations~

Us the community managers, alongside @Chris_K and the social media team over O2, kickstarted the selections of tunes, but you're more than welcome to leave your suggestion(s) in the comments below so that we can build up a sound (😏) playlist together.

By the way, in order to be able to listen to the full songs (not just snippets or previews of them) on the playlists above, don't forget that you can get up to six months' free Apple Music with O2 ,which will also give access to many others carefully curated playlists, radio shows, albums, EPs, music videos, exclusive interviews and much more.

Can you guess the song each one of us has picked?

Looking forward to your hit hints!

When it got to my choice my boss was like "Knowing Chris it'll be some Ed Sheeran number". Well, first of all - what's wrong with Ed Sheeran?! The dude makes great music. Second of all, I think I may have surprised him with my choice! 😉

Can you just confirm the staff that made the suggestions @RafaC ?

@gmarkj I can confirm that all the songs currently on the playlist were hand picked by the team! 😄

I just meant which team members added to the list (not necessarily who requested each song).

For instance, from his post above I am guessing @Chris_K added songs.
But did @lewys-gp add some before he left, or did @Breanna get her selection in?

Re: ‌🎵‌ 🫧 The O2 Community Apple Music Playlist 🫧 ‌🎵‌

Breanna — Wed, 17 Aug 2022 13:50:03 GMT

@gmarkj There were five of us who chose one song each, but we definitely need to ask @lewys-gp to throw one on as well!

Can you guess who chose which song?

Shall we add some Ed Sheeran @Chris_K ?

gmarkj — Wed, 17 Aug 2022 14:12:53 GMT

Bit confused then @Breanna as I can count 4 people who would be classed as "the team":
Martin

Chris

Rafa

Breanna

Not sure who the 5th person is if Lewys was not included (going by your message above).

From that list then, these are my guesses:

Boys that Sing - Viola Beach -- Martin

Glitter & Gold - Barns Courtney -- Rafa

OK Love you Bye - Olivia Dean -- ???

Bad Romance - Lady Gaga -- Breanna

Come Together - Primal Scream -- Chris_K

@gmarkj Your mystery man is the "my boss" @Chris_K mentioned in his first comment.

None correct but I'll go ahead and out myself. OK Love you Bye was my choice. I don't often listen to music but recently discovered Olivia Dean. Boy can she sing!

Hey @gmarkj that will be me the mystery 5th person.

I know you don't see me post that often on here, but that's down to the great work @Chris_K and the team do, but don't worry i'm always around in the background 😊

Couldn't resist choosing a song and going for something i thought not too many people would know. Viola Beach were a great band and and its sad what happened to them just as they were hitting the heights of fame, but the album is an excellent set of Indie tunes. They came from Warrington so not too far from me and carry some of the Manchester/Liverpool music vibe

Were hoping we can inspire a few new musical discoveries with this one so keen to see what ends up on this play list

Love this!! Great idea!

Come Together - Primal Scream is such a brilliant track. Great choice!!

Re: ‌🎵‌ 🫧 The O2 Community Apple Music Playlist 🫧 ‌🎵‌

gmarkj — Fri, 19 Aug 2022 09:18:32 GMT

As soon as I saw the name I remembered!

I'm fairly sure I recognise the name of the band, and have heard at least the song you chose.

If I were to suggest a track then I think I would go for Tom Grennan and Ella Henderson "Let's go home together".
Tom is local(ish) to me, and have enjoyed most of Ella's work since being on X Factor.

Since I got unintentional praise from @J9el, I feel obliged to publicly declare that I chose the aforementioned Primal Scream track. Saw them live playing Screamadelica in its entirety, a night to remember 😍

Do you want to have a go at guessing the remainder of the tracks again @gmarkj? By the way, I've already added your chosen track to the community playlist! Thanks for adding to it!

@J9el glad you like the idea, would you fancy choosing a track to add to the playlist too?

J9el — Thu, 25 Aug 2022 21:58:10 GMT

Sorry its taken me a while to get back to you @RafaC ….this is a difficult one, so many tracks I could choose. However, I’ll go with ‘High and Dry’ by Radiohead from their brilliant album The Bends.

Re: ‌🎵‌ 🫧 The O2 Community Apple Music Playlist 🫧 ‌🎵‌

RafaC — Fri, 26 Aug 2022 12:10:00 GMT

It's difficult indeed @J9el, and no need to say sorry! Love that album, so many memorable songs came out of it. Just added one of them, suggested by you, to the playlist 😊
Thanks for your suggestion!

Re: ‌🎵‌ 🫧 The O2 Community Apple Music Playlist 🫧 ‌🎵‌

RafaC — Fri, 26 Aug 2022 12:09:40 GMT

Added Comfortably Numb by Pink Floyd as suggested by @Cleoriff

Re: ‌🎵‌ 🫧 The O2 Community Apple Music Playlist 🫧 ‌🎵‌

Martin-O2 — Fri, 02 Sep 2022 09:39:46 GMT

Bit late to the party but I'm the one who picked Bad Romance by Lady Gaga. Definitely one of my

guilty pleasures! 😄

Re: ‌🎵‌ 🫧 The O2 Community Apple Music Playlist 🫧 ‌🎵‌

Chris_K — Fri, 02 Sep 2022 10:04:36 GMT

And I'm the one who chose Glitter & Gold. Instantly loved the track when I heard it. At the time I was also toying with the idea of throwing in a couple of other tracks that could not be more different from one another

Firefly by Shygirl (sounds weird as heck, but I dig it... really chill track)

Belter by Gerry Cinnamon (because he's a legend)

Re: ‌🎵‌ 🫧 The O2 Community Apple Music Playlist 🫧 ‌🎵‌

RafaC — Fri, 02 Sep 2022 12:13:34 GMT

Gotta say I do like some Lady Gaga myself as well @Martin-O2, Bad Romance is a banger.

It's interesting that you had in mind three tracks that are so different from each other @Chris_K! Let me know if don't want me to add those other 2 to the community playlist as well 😉
