People are sharing their playlists on Spotify to help get through the pandemic quarantine

Music fans share their favourite songs on Spotify such as ‘Don’t Stand So Close To Me,’ ‘U Can’t Touch This’ and ‘Toxic’ helping them get through quarantine.

Music fans and coronavirus victims have taken to Twitter to share their ‘pandemic playlists’ via Spotify.

The music streaming giant goes by the tagline, “Music for every mood”, and that has proven to be true during the global coronavirus pandemic.

Some of the lists have gone ‘viral’, pardon the pun, due to their titles that attempt to poke fun at a terrifying situation as COVID-19 claims thousands of lives around the world.

People who otherwise would be socialising normally and holding parties have been forced to self-isolate at home.

But that hasn’t stopped them from sharing what’s on their playlists as a way of trying to keep spirits up during a depressing time.

Some of the favourite songs appearing on lists include:

“Epidemic” by Slayer

“You Make Me Sick” by P! nk.

“Unwell” by Matchbox 20

“Can’t Feel My Face” by The Weeknd

“Don’t Stand So Close to Me” by The Police

“Harder to Breathe” by Maroon 5

“Stayin’ Alive” by The Bee Gees

“Toxic” by Britney Spears

“Tainted Love” by Soft Cell

“Bad Medicine” by Bon Jovi

“Sicko Mode” by Travis Scott

“We Might Be Dead By Tomorrow” by Soko

“U Can’t Touch This” by MC Hammer

One of the playlists to have gone viral is titled “coronavirus [COVID-19] Quarantine Party” by Chadwick Johnson from Los Angeles.

Another playlist with almost 7,000 followers and titled “COVID-19 Quarantine Party” is by Alistair Ryan.

So naturally I have begun to create the ultimate COVID 19 playlist. Think of it as “the soundtrack to the pandemic of the century”
Or “songs to quarantined by”
I have started with some aptly titled tunes!
Have a look and hit me with your creative, and amusing tracks! AND GO! pic.twitter.com/UjiuUiIJam
