#25 : Our readers’ recommendations in one playlist !

Ah, the end of the year : this holiday period during which we gather with our family and/or loved ones again. But it is all the more a period that marks the end of an era : that of 2021, which opens the door to another year that we hope to be better ! And, of course, for all of you music fans who spend time on streaming platforms, it’s also time for the music recaps of the year : whether it’s Spotify’s Wrapped or Apple Music’s Replay, it’s an opportunity to dive back into the tracks we have listened to the most this year.

In order to celebrate in a similar way what has now become a tradition for these streaming platforms, we’ve decided to ask our entourage – whether they are artists, label managers, artist managers, journalists or even from readers – what were the tracks & songs that have impacted them the most in 2021. Whether recent or not, as long as they were a source of dopamine or comfort, we included them in our playlist ! Here’s a long & eclectic tracklist in which we also have added our personal favorites of the year !

This playlist also ends the advent calendar that we had set up throughout the month of December on our mobile app, and which will be available on the website at the beginning of January. Thank you all for participating, merry Christmas for those who celebrate it and happy holiday !
