Spotify spied on what college kids listen to and compiled the thirty most popular songs with college students. Well, it’s not really spying, but that sounds catchier.
According to their team of analysts, the most popular song with college students right now is Wes Walker’s Jordan Belfort. Students clearly also love Mac Miller and Drake (each have 3 songs in the top 30.)
Here’s how Spotify came up with college playlist of the year:
To determine the The Sound of Students in the United States, Spotify data alchemist Glenn McDonald started with anonymized data about the music played by US university students who have taken advantage of the Spotify’s Student Discount. He compared how popular that music is among students against how popular it is with all other US listeners, to determine the music that “pops out” as being the most distinctive to US students’ listening habits.
