    I dropped Spotify in favor of a Youtube subscription so that my kids no longer have to watch the outrageous and increasing youtube ads. Can you guys add Youtube playlists? Much appreciated!

  4. avatar Renae Nicholson says:

    Love this list!

    One to add – No Matter What, written by Andrew Lloyd Webber and performed by Boyzone. My 8-yr old and I love this song!

    HI. I was wondering if you could add a few more songs to the playlist. My 11-year-old daughter Audrey Guinn is a musical artist who just released her first pop album titled “Best Day Ever (Until Tomorrow)”:

    https://open.spotify.com/artist/1H5Fx6SkNr8e0CM1Wi8VB2

    She released it on her 11th birthday. And it is full of inspiring themes for her friends and tweens everywhere.

    Hope you like it!
