The British 150 Playlist: The Only Playlist That Matters (Probably)

Let’s face it—music is a mess these days. Algorithms decide what we hear, classic bands are selling butter in adverts and half the “British” music charts sound suspiciously American. It’s enough to make you question everything.
But fear not! If you’ve ever wondered what truly represents the music of the British Isles (or if you just need an escape from the same five overplayed tracks on the radio), I have the answer: The British 150 Playlist.
This is not just another playlist. This is a carefully curated, battle-tested selection of the most essential British and Irish tracks—150 songs that actually mean something. We’re talking legends, underdogs, anthems and the occasional, “Wait, THEY’RE British?!” moment. Oh, and it’s 9.5 hours long, so you won’t be running out of music anytime soon.
📢 Why should you care?
- Because this is not a random Spotify auto-generated list (I actually put effort into this).
- Because the British Isles have produced some of the greatest music in history (yes, I said it).
- Because your current playlist is probably missing a few bangers and frankly, that’s unacceptable.

If you think you’ve memorised it—think again! I’ll keep tweaking and swapping songs until I’ve published the podcast episode for each one. So, enjoy the ride while it lasts, because nothing is safe.
