Schmutzie’s June 2026 Playlist

You can listen to this playlist on 9 platforms:

Apple Music & Spotify & Tidal & Qobuz (58/62) & Deezer & Amazon Music (58/62) & YouTube Music & Last.fm & Pandora (60/62).

I love lists and facts, so, to continue:

55% of the songs are from 2026, and the complete original playlist on Apple Music is about 3 hours and 36 minutes long with 62 songs across 7 decades and 14 genres: alternative, alternative folk, contemporary folk, electronic, folk, hip-hop/rap, indie pop, indie rock, jazz, música tropical, pop, R&B/soul, rock, and singer/songwriter. The songs are in reverse order by year and then in alphabetical order by artist within each year.

These monthly playlists are a bit of a music history sampler moving backwards through time if you play the songs in order, but I like to hit shuffle and let them surprise me.
