It occurred to me recently while on a road trip that I was constantly switching Spotify playlists, trying to find the best ones to keep me in a good mood. While the constant switching of playlists was probably not remotely safe, I narrowed my search down to my favorite six playlists. They include the right amount of pump up hits, throwbacks and just chill songs.
Name Of Playlist: Songs To Sing In The Car
Length: 8 hours and 35 minutes
Part Of The Road Trip Best For: When you need to jam! This playlist is super long so it will last a good duration.
Includes: "Summer Nights" from Grease, Michael Jackson, Spice Girls and Adele. Since the playlist includes a variety of songs from different generations, it's a great choice if you have people of different ages in the car. Everyone wins!
Name Of Playlist: Chill Hits
Length: 3 hours and 33 minutes
Part Of The Road Trip Best For: When you're the driver and everyone falls asleep. It keeps you awake because of the upbeat music, but also is soft enough to let them sleep.
Includes: "Stay" by Kygo, "Pillow Talk" by Zayn and "Four Five Seconds" by Rihanna. I feel chill already.
Name Of Playlist: Hot Country
Length: 3 hours and 2 minutes
Part Of The Road Trip Best For: When you're driving through backroads and countryside, and have your windows down.
Includes: "I like the sound of that" by Rascal Flatts, "Snapback" by Old Dominion, "The Driver" by Charles Kelly and "That Don't Sound Like You" by Lee Brice

Part Of The Road Trip Best For: Beginning of the road trip when you're hype and ready to begin your journey.
Includes: "Work From Home" by Fifth Harmony, "My House" by Flo Rida and "In My Room" by Yellow Claw.
Name Of Playlist: Girl Power
Length: 11 hours and 27 minutes
Part Of The Road Trip Best For: After a snack pit stop. You must have food in your stomach to prepare for this bomb playlist.
Includes: "Beg for it" by Iggy, "Wannabe" by Spice Girls and "Say My Name" by Destiny's Child. This playlist is my personal favorite.
Name Of Playlist: Rap Caviar
