Ahhhh fall, honestly the most wonderful time of the year. It’s not too hot or cold, and we get a bunch of candy from Halloween. And either best or worst of all (it’s up to you), music comes in season! What are people listening to at this time of year?

Want a soft autumn and late summer vibe? Taylor Swift’s album, Folklore, is especially popular at this time of year. Taylor’s Swifts song, ‘Cardigan’, debuted as No. 1 at Billboard’s Hot 100! One of her other songs, ‘august’ gives a vibe of leaving summer and transitioning into fall. Taylor’s other album, Evermore, has also been said to have fall and winter vibes. Her song, willow, is the most popular song in that album, having over 4.7 billion streams on Spotify!

A well-known artist, JVKE, is also popular during this time of year with his biggest hit, golden hour, which has a soft piano melody. Golden hour has over 1.67 billion streams on Spotify!

Another one of his songs, this is what autumn feels like, is a tranquil pop song that uses some emotion to convey the feeling autumn gives.
