Welcome to FTW Explains, a guide to catching up on and better understanding stuff going on in the world. Are you seeing some posts on social media about Spotify playlists and something called a “daylist”? And you have no idea what that’s all about? Don’t worry. We’re here to help.
Spotify — the streaming music service — has given fans so many fun things to enjoy, from the annual Wrapped roundup to a thing that lets you do karaoke while listening.
Now? We’ve got something called Daylists. And people are sharing them everywhere for a variety of reasons. Let’s dive in below, with a bunch of examples:
Daylist? You spelled playlist wrong.
Nope! Daylists are a thing!
Back in September, Spotify launched a service in which it tailored playlists for each day and each part of the day for listeners.
So you get a new set of tracks for your Monday afternoon or Friday evening. And the names of the lists are SO GOOD.
How do I find this thing?
Simply search “daylist” or click on this link to daylists. Again, it updates during the day, so it may change based on your listening habits on that date or overall. You can also save that playlist if you so choose.
Tell me about these daylist names
You got it:
