‌🎵‌ 🫧 The O2 Community Apple Music Playlist 🫧 ‌🎵‌

[RafaC]

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 ?

[Martin-O2]

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

[gmarkj]

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?

[Breanna]

@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]

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

[Breanna]

@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!

[ColinO2]

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!!
