The 30 Day Song Challenge has been doing the rounds on Instagram Stories and I’ve loved seeing everyone’s answers and adding tracks to my playlist. I’m utterly rubbish at these ‘post one a day’ type challenges – as my family have realised after each ‘movie challenge’ or ‘photo a day’ challenge. I can’t even consistently post on my Instagram grid! But I so desperately wanted in on the challenge, so I’ve compiled my list of answers and created a Spotify playlist for you to wrap your ears around. I’ve stuck to one song per artist – else it would have been David Bowie’s discography – so I limited it.
