Musicals Ranked On What Percent of the Cast Album is On My Spotify Top 100

So fun fact about me: I pretty much only listen to musicals. And as a result, my entire Spotify Top 100 is musicals. I also tend to listen to musicals on repeat, so there are only 13 shows on this list. Anyway, I thought it would be fun to see how much of each show was on my playlist, so I compared the number of songs from each show on the list and compared it against the number of songs on the cast albums, then I found the percent. Here’s the results.

13. Matilda (1/26, 4%)

I’m kind of shocked that there aren’t more Matilda songs on this playlist, considering that I would have been in it in April. And yet, only one song ended up on my playlist.

12. Something Rotten (1/18, 6%)

I love Something Rotten a lot, but I don’t listen to it all that often. I actually have a poster signed by the touring cast hanging up in my room at my mom’s house.

11. Hedwig and the Angry Inch (1/14, 7%)

This is one that people on Tumblr might not have heard of as much. It’s an absolutely fantastic show that’s staged as a concert and it’s incredible and I love it. Shockingly, my favorite song from this show was not on this playlist. 

10. Frankenstein (2/26, 8%)

I think most people don’t know that there’s a Frankenstein musical. This one is shockingly accurate to the book, which I loved. Something you may not know about me is that I really love the book, it’s just so interesting. This musical even included the letters, which was super cool to see.

9. Groundhog Day (2/19, 21%)

Groundhog Day is one of my favorite shows that ended too soon. It closed on Broadway too early, and then the national tour was cancelled. Even without the pandemic, I don’t think you’d be able to find a production of Groundhog Day that you could watch live.

8. The Lightning Thief (5/24, 21%)

I actually only listened to this for the first time a few months ago, but I think Spotify might put more weight on the later months. I’m pretty surprised that so many songs ended up on here, considering I only listened to the full album a few times.

7. Billy Elliot (4/15, 27%)

I watched the proshot of this back in April or May, and I did not expect to like it as much as I did. When I saw Angry Dance I knew that I had to see this in person at some point. Obviously, I haven’t gotten a chance to see it yet, but hopefully one day I can. Anyway, every time I listen to Once We Were Kings I tear up a bit.

6. Trail to Oregon (5/17, 29%)

And here’s Starkid everybody! I haven’t actually listen to TtO in awhile, but for a while I would listen to it as I fell asleep. I didn’t listen to the full soundtrack during that time, I actually made a playlist with only the songs that I enjoyed listening to.

5. Starship (4/9, 44%)

Okay, so maybe this show is so high on the list because there’s only nine songs, but I still really like this show. I wish there was sheet music for it because I’d love to learn how to sing Life or Status Quo.

4. Apocalyptour (13/22, 59%)

Okay, so technically not a musical. But, it is entirely composed of musical songs, so I say that it counts. I really like listening to the medleys on this album, and it’s fun to hear some different people sing Starkid songs.

3. Hadestown (28/40, 70%)

Yeah. Over 25% of the playlist was Hadestown. All five of my top songs were from Hadestown. My five top artists were all people from Hadestown. According to Spotify I listened to this for a total of 933 minutes. No, I don’t know how I did that. I guess I listened to it on repeat a lot.

2. Tuck Everlasting (18/24, 75%)

Another show that closed far too soon. It’s so good, and I love it, and it’s extremely underrated and underappreciated. I love the album so much. I listen to Time and I cry. I listen to Time Quartet and I cry. I listen to The Wheel and I cry. 

1. Moulin Rouge (16/19, 84%)

So I know this one can be kind of controversial because some people thought that it got too modern when they put it on stage. I, however, love it. Shut Up and Raise Your Glass slaps. Crazy Rolling also slaps. I love Come What May so much. Plus, Karen Olivo is Satine, and she’s my favorite actress, so I was doomed to fall in love with this show.

So I also wanted to share exactly what songs are on the playlist, so I’m putting it under the cut. Get ready for a lot of Hadestown. For everyone who doesn’t know Starkid, I apologize for the titles of the songs in Apocalyptour. I did not name them.

Bootlace, partially because I wear boots and I like to lace them with funky shoelaces, but mostly because one of the longest animals in the world is caused the bootlace worm and I have a long torso

A Yom Kippur Reminder

So, Yom Kippur is coming up. For anyone that might be struggling with depression or anxiety, I just want to give you a reminder. Yes, it is a holiday about looking back on your mistakes from the past year, and realizing what you’ve done wrong. But it’s also about forgiveness. Not just asking for forgiveness, but giving yourself forgiveness. Yes, you may have messed up, but just remember to forgive yourself. Because everyone deserves forgiveness.

Take a deep breath.

Forgive yourself.

This goes to anyone who doesn’t participate in Yom Kippur as well, or if you’re not even Jewish.

Everyone deserves to be forgiven. Remind yourself that it’s time to start over. You’ve got this. Hold on.
