This unique music series is my favorite thing on YouTube – here are my 7 best NPR Tiny Desk Concerts of all time

Raye, Sabrina Carpenter, and Chappell Roan performing at their Tiny Desk Concerts .

Being the serial YouTube watcher that I am, I find that the platform can give me a little bit more than most of the best streaming services out there - but no, I still won't be paying for YouTube Premium. And though I have Spotify to rely on for a good album or my Daylist for background listening, sometimes I need a live set to fill that empty void - and nothing does that quite like an NPR Tiny Desk Concert.

For those who are unfamiliar with Tiny Desk Concerts, they're essentially small music gigs performed by the biggest artists in a small studio space, with a limited live audience lasting no more than 30 minutes. Each act performs around 5-7 songs, full length or shortened, and is filmed for the NPR YouTube channel.
