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 huge global phenomenon, serving as a pop-culture soundtrack for decades. The series has sold over 300 million albums worldwide, and the first album, “Now 1”, reached the number one position 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 a hiatus, I made a Spotify playlist featuring music from the second year of the #StarWarsSaturday posts. It includes an album cover collage of toy photos for each track. Most of the songs I used were on Spotify, so there are an impressive 46 tracks in total, and the playlist runs about three hours and 15 minutes! Today’s playlist includes just one piece by John Williams from official Star Wars releases, together with music from a variety of genres such as classical, pop, and rock that I believe goes well with the toys and scenes from The Empire Strikes Back and a few other Star Wars productions.
Enjoy!
