The Ultimate Fourth Of July Playlists
The Fourth of July can be a marathon of a holiday. Between assembling all of your family and friends for activities, stocking up on supplies, and grilling up a storm, you're probably exhausted and sunburned by the time the fireworks start at night.
Make things a bit easier for yourself by using our Fourth of July playlists. Including everything from "The Star Spangled Banner" and Will Smith classics to James Brown and Carrie Underwood, our playlists are sure to have the perfect tunes for whatever kind of bash you're planning to throw.
If you want something a little more mellow and laid-back, then our Folk Fourth of July playlist is perfect for you. If you're looking to keep your guests awake long after the final firework has exploded in the sky, then crank up our Hip-Hop and Rap playlist. Or if you're just simply looking to kick back with a beer and some barbecue, turn on the Country Fourth of July playlist.
No matter what type of music you choose, remember to take the time on the Fourth to appreciate all of the reasons why we salute the red, white, and blue.
