Every year, Spotify listeners win out over devotees to other streaming platforms when they unveil their Spotify Wrapped playlists — a data driven analysis of what the year sounded like.
And while this year's personal Spotify Wrapped summaries are still loading, Spotify just released their data for their most streamed global music and podcasts of the year.
Announced the week following the Grammy nominations, Spotify Wrapped feels like vindication for artists who were snubbed by the awards committee, like The Weeknd and Halsey.
The summary also analyzed trends of when and how people were listening to content, noting increased popularity in nostalgia-themed playlists and work-from-home-themed playlists. Spotify users were understandably playing music from home more, which even caused an uptick in streaming music from gaming consoles. Listeners also tuned obsessively into wellness podcasts like never before.
<p>While Spotify's full wrapped summary can be found on their website, here are the highlights:</p><p class="shortcode-media shortcode-media-rebelmouse-image">

How Spotify's "Lorem" Playlist Became Gen Z Canon
Lorem blends bedroom pop, mainstream pop, and up-and-coming indie in one of Spotify's most popular "genreless" playlist.
10.29.2020
Conan Gray - 22 year old American singer-songwriter, featured on the cover of Spotify's "Lorem" playlist
Curated Spotify playlists can make a larger impact on the music industry than you might think.
Those looking to get a jump on the next radio hits tune in to Spotify's Pop Rising playlist, which has over two million followers. Hip-Hop heads often favor the frequently-updated Rap Caviar playlist, which has accrued a whopping 13 million followers and counting. The cleverly-titled Are & Be, the straightforward Rock Classics, and the workout-themed Beast Mode each have millions of followers of their own.
But there's one playlist that, despite not really fitting into a clear genre category of its own, is becoming one of Spotify's fastest growing curated playlists: Lorem.
<p>Lorem quietly emerged on Spotify at the beginning of 2019 and has since grown to amass over 800,000 followers. With a nondescript title and a vast range of artists featured on the playlist, Lorem is curated with the intention to construct a "vibe" rather than limiting itself to one specific genre. </p><p><div id="ezoic-pub-ad-placeholder-630"> </div>
<!-- End Ezoic - underfirst11 - under_first_paragraph --></p><p>It's fascinating, then, how this "vibe" has become so popular—particularly among Lorem's majority female, Gen Z audience. Its description reads: "songs u can send to ur, friends, or keep for urself," with an intentional Internet shorthand that echoes the playlist's Very Online nature.</p><p>Lorem's curator, Lizzy Szabo, keeps one specific question in mind when it comes to picking tracks for the playlist: "What type of music are younger audiences ready for, based on their other habits?"</p><p><div id="ezoic-pub-ad-placeholder-632"></div>

"Yeah, it's going to step out on different genres a bit, but not so much that it's just a mix of who-knows-what.

As YouTuber-gone-singer-songwriter Conan Gray says in a short promo clip for Lorem, it's "like if you took all the kids from art class and put them on a playlist." </p><p>Lorem is tailor-made for the zoomers who idolize Clairo, Gus Dapperton, and Omar Apollo, who probably went through a Brockhampton and Rex Orange County phase in 2017, who know what it means to ask somebody if they listen to Girl In Red, who likely bleached two face-framing strands of their hair in quarantine.</p><p><div id="ezoic-pub-ad-placeholder-634"> </div>

</p><p><br></p><p>Lorem feels heavily inspired by young artists who've broken the barriers of "bedroom pop" in a literal sense, but have maintained a remote sense of intimacy and authenticity among their listeners despite their meteoric popularity. "It's sort of like bedroom pop gone to the mainstream and a lot of things adjacent going on around that," Szabo explained. </p><p>So on Lorem, you can find artists as mainstream as Billie Eilish, Lauv, and Harry Styles, who have each surpassed billions of streams on Spotify. However, the playlist also takes into account steadily-growing bands like Wallows and Goth Babe. Even if you've never heard of these artists, they pretty much all boast millions and millions of streams—thanks, in part, to the virality of Lorem.</p><p><div id="ezoic-pub-ad-placeholder-635"> </div>
<!-- End Ezoic - incontent2 - long_content --></p><p>The aesthetic that surrounds Lorem doesn't exactly have a title, but like "VSCO girls" and "e-boys," it stems heavily from the Internet. It calls to mind the bold, vintage-inspired style of young Internet personalities like <a href="https://www.instagram.com/emmachamberlain/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Emma Chamberlain</a> and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/enyaumanzor/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Enya Umanzor</a>, who have the power to dictate what's "cool" with a single outfit picture on Instagram..

</script></center><p></p><p>The TikTok explosion this year has acted like an echo chamber for this carefree, colorful style to take over, as well as the type of music that's now become inextricably linked with it. Artists like BENEE, Joji, and SALES have all been added to Lorem after going viral on TikTok. "I tried to put in some nods in there sometimes and create a listening experience that's similar for an 18-year-old girl that's having to go from app to app and from Twitter to Instagram to TikTok or VSCO," Szabo said.</p><p><div id="ezoic-pub-ad-placeholder-637"> </div>
<!-- End Ezoic - incontent3 - longer_content --></p><p>What makes Lorem and its adjacent aesthetic so fascinating is that, since rebranding from Spotify's Left of Center playlist, it's almost become the new "center," altering what it means for an artist to be "indie." Szabo asserts that, despite occasional conspiracy theories, there has never been any heavy marketing around the promotion of Lorem. </p><p>Still, Lorem has come to represent a playful, artistic lifestyle and an open-mindedness towards music—if hundreds of thousands of young folks online resonate with that, maybe the future does look bright.</p><p class="media-headline">

This Haunts Me: "Jen from Appleton" and the Epic Bath and Body Works Rant
Sometimes you've just got to get yourself that Winter Candy Apple and Iced Gingerbread.
12.04.2020
I hope Jen from Appleton, Wisconsin is doing well these days.
As for Angela, the star of the best Bath & Body Works rant of all time (and there are surprisingly many on YouTube), I hope she's living a Winter Candy Apple-scented life to the fullest.
In 2012, the aspiring vlogger posted a rant about her dire mission to acquire two coveted candles from Bath & Body Works: Winter Candy Apple and Iced Gingerbread. The outstanding 11-minute video recounts her harrowing journey to the store in APPLETON, WISCONSIN (it's very important the store is called out for their heinous treatment of Angela).
After the video was discovered and spread across Tumblr, it was recognized as a cultural masterpiece of our time, a treatise on the frailty of the human condition and our undying perseverance to end our own suffering at any cost.

<!-- End Ezoic - under_second_paragraph - under_second_paragraph --><p></p><p>A synopsis: Angela stalked the store for <em>her special holiday 3-wick candles.</em> The store called and said they had <em>her candles.</em> Angela went to the store to wait for <em>her candles.</em> Manager "Jen" (full air quotes in the video) apologized that they didn't have the full size of <em>her candles. </em></p><p><em></em>Angela became "an ANGRY blonde!!!" as she calls herself in her vlog. To which end: <em>"Oh Jen, Your ass is gonna get reamed," </em>she growls into her surreally out-of-focus "vlogging" lens.</p><p><div id="ezoic-pub-ad-placeholder-632"></div>
<!-- End Ezoic - undersecond12 - under_second_paragraph --></p><p>The highlights of the clip are, of course, Angela's complete lack of self-awareness and how thoroughly in-character she is when she says to "Jen": "I don't mean to be rude or anything, but I think I deserve something." Is Angela playing an Arthur Miller-esque character of an aggrieved midwesterner who's lost the ability to feel emotions save for material objects? Is this character so jaded by modern existence and the torturous mind games humans play with each other in our daily social interactions (i.e. small talk, cordiality in check-out lines, harassment-free phone calls) that she's funneled all of her existential rage at "Jen from Appleton?" </p><p><div id="ezoic-pub-ad-placeholder-633"> </div>
<!-- End Ezoic - incontent1 - mid_content --></p><p>Is that why she keeps referencing that Packers game? "I think the packers won? I don't know; I've been dealing with F*CKING B*TCHES ALL DAY," she emotes into the camera, begging for help with her round, dead eyes. </p><p>What is it about the Winter Candy Apple scent that Angela so sickly covets? </p><p>Health professionals concede that <a href="https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/consumer-health/expert-answers/aromatherapy/faq-20058566" target="_blank">aromatherapeutic scents can improve one's mood</a>, with essential oils releasing chemicals that can trigger your smell receptors in such a way that your brain receives positive messages. Aromatherapy, though under-studied, has been shown to be beneficial to people suffering from depression and anxiety. Is that why Angela seeks these candles like it's her mythic heroic journey?

Lady Gaga x Oreo and Other Odd Celebrity Food Collaborations
It's an unprecedented time for brand deals and nonsensical collaborations
12.04.2020
I'm convinced that the Supreme Oreos that terrorized the internet (and which I haven't stopped thinking about since) were the cultural reset.
Released in February 2020, right as everything started to go wrong, these bright red Supreme Oreos were met with equally visceral confusion and anticipation. Despite many on the internet claiming that Supreme and Oreo had gone too far, the 3-pack of Oreos inevitably sold out in minutes online.
But the chaos didn't end here. Bidding sites were on fire, with one auction reaching almost $92,000 before being taken down. And apparently, they just tasted like regular Oreos.
It seems Oreo have not learned their lesson. Just announced: their collaboration with Lady Gaga
<p>The limited edition <em>Chromatica</em> cookies are inspired by <a href="https://www.popdust.com/lady-gaga-chromatica-2646125490.html" target="_self">Gaga's recent dance pop album</a> and aim to "spread musical messages of kindness throughout the country," according to the Oreo website. To promote the launch, Gaga and Oreo also announced a "<a href="https://www.singitwithoreo.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Sing it with Oreo</a>" campaign in which fans can send their loved ones "Oreograms" — personalized messages that get turned into songs. No doubt these were inspired by the TikTok craze that has brands clamoring to create short form, music-based content on or off the platform</p><p>The <em>Chromatica</em> Oreos themselves are bright pink with green filling, though apparently they're just vanilla flavored.</p><p><div id="ezoic-pub-ad-placeholder-632"></div>

</div></blockquote></div><p><strong>Charli D'amelio x Dunkin Donuts</strong><br></p><p>TikTok star Charli D'Amelio went one step further than most of her social media peers when it came to <a href="https://news.dunkindonuts.com/news/the-charli-dances-onto-the-dunkin-menu" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">her Dunkin collaboration</a>. Instead of promoting the company on her Instagram or TikTok, she collaborated with Dunkin to create the "The Charli" — an eponymous order of her signature drink.</p><p>Like the Travis Burger, it's not the product itself that matters, it's the clout. "The Charli" isn't a complex order, it's just a Dunkin' Cold Brew with whole milk and three pumps of caramel swirl. However, the power of seeing the TikTok dancer recreate viral dances, then sip some Dunkin in her downtime cannot be underestimated.</p><p><div id="ezoic-pub-ad-placeholder-636"> </div>
<!-- End Ezoic - incontent22 - long_content --></p><p>The marketing roll out for this collab took advantage of the star's social media fame by promising fans a chance to not just hang out with Charli, but to create content with her. Essentially, the chance to go viral which … is hard to pass up.</p><p>However, there was some controversy at the fact that a coffee drink was being so explicitly marketed to young teens. While excess caffeine isn't great for anyone, it especially isn;t good for younger consumers. With the cold brew, which offers more concentrated caffeine than most coffees, diluted by the generous caramel swirl, "The Charli" might just be a set up for a both a sugar and caffeine crash.</p><p><div id="ezoic-pub-ad-placeholder-637"> </div>

Immediately, fans rushed to get their orders but a few were disappointed to find out the truth: it wans't vegan.</p><p>Vocal about her veganism, Grande had urged her fans to try the drink with Soy milk.

Jay-Z's 7 Best Albums
On his 51st birthday, we take a look at Jay-Z's best albums.
12.04.2020
Shawn Carter, AKA Jay-Z, was born December 4, 1969.
He was raised in Marcy Houses, a housing project in Brooklyn, NY. He discovered a passion for music at a young age but became heavily involved in the streets as a crack cocaine dealer.
Jay's involvement with the drug trade would end after a near-fatal brush with death. This encounter motivated him to go legit and pursue music.
<h2></h2><p>Today, Jay-Z is considered by many as the greatest rapper of all time. His various accomplishments in music and business have made him a benchmark for success in Hip-Hop. After nearly 30 years and over 20 albums credited to his name, Jay-Z's discography is one of the most celebrated in music, but here are his best albums:</p><p><!-- Ezoic - under_second_paragraph - under_second_paragraph -->

Everything You Need for "Euphoria" -Inspired Makeup Looks
Life is short, go for a bold eye like Jules.
12.04.2020
Regardless of how you felt about the hit HBO teen drama Euphoria, you have to admit the looks in the show are pretty iconic.
From Rue's grungy over-sized aesthetic to Jules' femme futuristic looks, there are plenty of outfits shown throughout the series to inspire you to reinvent your whole wardrobe. Not to mention the makeup looks, which are so unique and striking as to have inspired hundreds of Halloween costumes last year. But why reserve a neon eye shadow or sequin eyelid look for Halloween when you can channel your inner Maddie or Jules all year long?
Euphoria Season 2 may be a few months away, but HBO is releasing two special episodes much sooner. The first of these specials, "Trouble Don't Last Always," focuses on Rue (played by Zendaya) and just dropped on HBO Max. To celebrate, we've listed some of the most essential cosmetic products to help you make your Euphoria-inspired makeup dreams come true—no drugs required.
