Beat's recommended playlist for all of your musical needs.
An Imaginary Soundtrack to 2020. Top Story - January 2021.
This playlist was a tough one to whittle down, but I eventually settled on the following selection of 66 songs, each from a different artist, ranging across a wide array of genres and moods. I arranged them into this very particular order that you see here, as a means of creating a good tonal ebb and flow, and also finding decent matches between the end of one song, and the beginning of the next. However, you can always play it on shuffle mode, and it ought to work just fine. I hope you enjoy...

My 2020 Rewind Playlist
My 2020 Rewind Playlist By Stephanie Heisler As 2020 comes to a close we all have our eyes watching the clock until we are free of one of the most challenging, weird, life-changing years ever. The year began as any other with hope, promise and resolutions. When things began to take a turn we found ourselves staying home, refocusing on our priorities and surviving the best way we could. As I was enduring this year in quarantine I turned to music for an escape.

2020 in Shuffle Mode
989 songs are in my most recent playlist - "Late Fall 2020" and I'm about to use that playlist to create "Winter 2021" - keeping the songs I still want to listen to right now, shedding the Christmas music and other songs I've grown tired of. I joke that my playlist has multiple personality syndrome and I'm kind of right. Spotify says I listened to 416 music genres this year, and these are usually all on the same playlist, played in shuffle mode. I get bored with too much of the same thing, so I load up my playlists and skip songs as needed. It was hard coming up with a sampler of 20 songs that got me through the year, but here is a sample.

2020 Musical Theatre Songs For The End of 2020
Even the most optimistic musical fan will have to admit that 2020 was a terrible year for musicals. The COVID-19 pandemic meant that theatres in Broadway and the West End have been closed since March, with two attempts to reopen the West End to socially distanced audiences being brought to a premature end by rising rates of COVID-19 infections throughout London. Major theatrical hubs will not be able to fully reopen until the second half of 2021, and attendance will probably be relatively low for months afterwards. However, the musical theatre genre is certain to survive this disaster – many of the greatest musicals have been popular for decades and will continue to entertain and inspire us regardless of all the problems in the wider world. The best musical songs have a heightened sense of emotion and energy that most conventional pop songs can struggle to match. Therefore, the best way of marking the end of 2020 is by celebrating some of the best songs in musical theatre.

9 Hottest Non - Album Singles of 2020
While 2020 forced most of us into our homes, several artists used this as an opportunity to make new music. Probably the most notable example would be Taylor Swift who released 2 full-length albums during lockdown. But even if T-Swift hadn’t been there to keep us afloat, there was no shortage of piping hot bangers and collabs pouring into radio stations and streaming services around the world, today I’m going to take a few moments to recognize some of the hottest non-album singles of 2020.

My 2020 playlist
The right music at the right time is really powerful. It can help you smile more, laugh more and remember more. This year I've changed the way I listen to music and what I'm looking for in it. I also liked the things that were born because of it, mainly the Instagram live concerts from my favourite artists.

My Top 20 Songs in 2020
1.Shardz - Army Rising You know those songs you play to stir yourself up when training in the gym? For me, when I’m about to go evangelising with friends, this is one of those songs. By default this is also for me a benchmark in the faith space of the grime genre.

Cheers to a new edition of To the Beat and Happy New Year! As we wrap up the month of December on Beat, we're saying goodbye to 2020 and toasting with another playlist, creatively curated based on the stories you shared.
