If you’re looking for only the best spooky tunes to play at your Halloween celebrations this weekend, Play Like Mum has done the research so we don’t have to, creating the perfect playlist of the most popular Halloween-esque tunes.
Halloween music isn’t exactly the most well-known genre of music - if you even want to call it that - but that doesn’t mean you can’t put together a killer playlist of all the best singalong tunes to dance the spooky season away.
You might lose your voice along the way, but that’s all part of it - right?!
Of course, there are your classics that will never leave the top of the Halloween list, like Michael Jackson’s ‘Thriller’ or Ray Parker Jr’s ‘Ghostbusters’, but this year we’ve got some top hits from the 2000s to bash at your next costume party - and they’re sure to impress.
Here are your perfect top 10 of the 2000’s Halloween hits to get you in the haunting holiday spirit.
#10 Bury a Friend - Billie Eilish
#9 Maneater - Nelly Furtado
#8 Ghostbusters - Ray Parker Jr.
#7 Toxic - Britney Spears
#6 Bad Guy - Billie Eilish
#5 Stranger Things - Kyle Dixon & Michael Stein
#4 Halloween Theme - John Carpenter
#3 Disturbia - Rihanna
#2 Somebody’s Watching Me - Rockwell
#1 This Is Halloween - The Citizens of Halloween
Now, if you’re wondering why Billie Eilish’s ‘Bad Guy’ was totally robbed of being higher on the list, Play Like Mum actually had a formula to their compilation, and it makes total sense.
The website collected 226 Spotify playlists with titles containing words like Halloween and spooky and determined which songs were most likely to appear on them - hence the number one track!
Wait, so now that Halloween is covered, does that mean we have to start adding Christmas songs to our rotation? Mariah Carey is defrosting as we speak!
