A lot has happened since the coronavirus pandemic hit...
Sandra from Liverpool briefly lost her beloved parrot Chanel. (She's an African Grey). But, after a nationwide search, we are pleased to say that Chanel was found safe and well.
In other news, a little birdie (not Chanel), told us that people are starting to get bored of the same old lockdown routine. So we asked the team at RateMyPlacement.co.uk to help out by sharing some of their favourite tunes.
Whack up the volume a notch or two and enjoy these FIVE playlists to get you through lockdown.
#1 WORKOUT PLAYLIST - Get up and moving
"Home workouts... everyone is doing them. And it's not just about improving physique. Regular exercise boosts serotonin, which makes you feel happier and improves your mental wellbeing.
But you don't have to do hardcore exercises to feel better. With the bangers in this list, you'll be saying goodbye to the plank and cranking up the sound... dancing is a LEGIT full body workout."
- Moyo (Accounts Executive)
#2 PARTY PLAYLIST - Pump up the music and dance
"Glasto is cancelled. But that doesn't mean you should go without. Last night me and my flatmates hosted a concert in our kitchen! Drinks, Doritos (and dips) and disco lights - we had it all!
Move over Calvin Harris. DJ Batish is in town. So, ladies and gents, boy and girls... try to contain your excitement, take a few deep breathes... it's here. My ULTIMATE party bop playlist."
- Nisha (Marketing Manager)
#3 CHILLED OUT PLAYLIST - Grab a cuppa and relax
"With all this free time on your hands, you could learn how to crotchet, speak mandarin or even start building your skill set with RateMyPlacement.co.uk's FREE Work Ready Virtual Experience.
Or... you could sit back with a cuppa and do absolutely nothing. Put my 'mellow pop' playlist on to keep you company. I'd rate it a solid 9/10. (Nobody's perfect right)?"
- Shoaib (Marketing Assistant)
#4 THROWBACK PLAYLIST - Sit back and reminisce
"Coronavirus has made us forget a time before we couldn't get bog roll, discovered what Zoom was and practised social distancing. But, now and again I like to reminisce on what once was...
And there's no better playlist to do that with, than mine. So put away that new generation pop playlist and sink into these ICONIC and truly unforgettable childhood bops."
- Eve (Creative)
#5 Become a viral star - TikTok playlist
"At first I though TikTok was some kind of continental tic-tac. Or something to do with clocks. Turns out it’s THE most addictive app in the world. It’s the crack of apps, and in a good way.
It’s a craze that’s taken the world by storm. Like Coronavirus. This playlist includes all the tracks…"
- Conor (Senior Content Writer)
5 playlists. 89 songs. Roughly 300 minutes of music. We'd say the 5 minutes you've put into reading this blog was an absolutely stellar decision. Now you have a bangin' soundtrack for every lockdown mood or activity.
(You're welcome).
