Pop Ballads
Some might say this is a collection of guilty pleasures but if we're being honest, nothing here makes us feel guilty in the slightest.
From Celine Dion to Foreigner, with a little bit of Adele and Van Morrison along the way, this is the perfect playlist for a bit of lip-syncing me-time.

Wednesday Workout
Hitting the gym? This will help you out.
From classics by Michael Jackson and Bonnie Tyler to modern hits by Rita Ora and Rudimental, every track on this playlist is guaranteed (ish) to deliver you raw power on the treadmill and that extra oomph you need on the bench press.
Either that or it'll leave you grooving in the mirror. But that counts as exercise too, honest.
Great British Songbook
If you need a little reminder of what us Brits do best, then this very British playlist will jog your memory.
This collection of hits from some of the best songwriters the UK has ever produced, from Elvis Costello to Roxy Music, is as pleasingly British as a custard cream and a nice cup of tea.

Taking you way back to the golden era of funk and soul, this classic tracks from Teddy Pendergrass, Chaka Khan and many more will give you some serious chills.
