It’s time to tune in to #TBT: Check out our nostalgic Spotify playlist

By Molly McHugh Updated May 7, 2021

Another week has come and gone and that means yes – it’s your favorite day of all the days: Throwback Thursday. We recently took you on a trip down recent memory lane and got all nostalgic about everyone’s favorite social media tradition – and proposed that perhaps it’s time to move behind the photo-friendly way to celebrate the past. And that proposal, dear reader, led us to create a #TBT Spotify playlist.

These are some of the tracks my generation was over-listening to what seems like only yesterday. (Except it wasn’t, it was more like 10 or so years ago. Shudder.)

While this has simultaneously been an exercise in shame (Mambo No. 5, young Molly? Really?) and joy (Forgot About Dre – timelessly legit), it’s far from complete. Add your own #TBT tunes, or just enjoy listening to and/or mocking ours.

Be sure to check out all the DT Playlists on our official Digital Trends Spotify page.

How to add family members to your Apple Music subscription

Apple Music Browse screen.

Apple Music is one of the go-to streaming services for all things melodic and melody-adjacent. Hosting over 88,000 million subscribers globally and featuring upwards of 100 million tracks from the leading artists of today, Spotify's nemesis has plenty to love.

If you're a new subscriber, Apple Music gives you a break-in period of one free months of service. After the trial period, memberships are billed on a monthly or yearly cycle with the most popular Individual plan coming it at $11 per month / $109 per year. While that's on par with the average cost for other music streamers, saving a buck here or there is never a bad thing. While college students can get Apple Music for $6/month, another way to save on your subscription is with an Apple Music family plan for $17 per month.
