This #SomethingElseSunday, I’m excited to share another collage and more greatest hits with another Spotify playlist featuring music from the blog called Now That’s What I Call Toy Music!
The “Now That’s What I Call Music!” series became a massive global phenomenon, serving as a soundtrack for pop culture for decades. The series has sold over 300 million albums worldwide. The first album, “Now 1,” went straight to number one on the UK charts and kicked off hundreds of follow-up albums that track how popular music has changed over time.
If you’re wondering how this connects to my daily toy posts: Each day, I pick a theme for the toy I’m sharing and match it with fitting music. While I’ve repeated a few songs over the years, almost all of my 1000+ posts feature a unique song on Instagram. You can also listen to these songs on YouTube if you read the posts by email or on dalestoys.com.
While my new toy photography is on hiatus, I made a Spotify playlist with music from the first year of #StarWarsSaturday posts. It includes an album cover collage of toy photos for each track. Not every song I used is on Spotify. The extended version of The Phantom Menace soundtrack was used heavily on the blog during the film’s 25th anniversary, but none of these cues appear on Spotify. Today’s playlist has some John Williams tracks from official Star Wars releases, plus music from genres like classical, pop, and rock that I think fit the saga or the toys. There are 37 tracks in total, and the playlist runs about two hours.
Enjoy!
