This Week In Jams (TWIJ) is a sequenced weekly playlist featuring songs I think my friends (and future friends like you đ) may want to hear.
After nearly 1.5 months without the sun, it has arrived along with 90 degree temps (go figure, Chicago)! Whatever, Iâm not going to complain anymore because I know better.
This weekâs playlist features Elton John, Dua Lipa, Kaytranada, The Weeknd, Channel Tres, Disclosure, Charli XCX, DRAMA, Halsey, Hot Chip, Little Dragon, Remi Wolf, Tinashe, Jamie xx, and more!
Put on some sunscreen and your coolest nighttime shades for maximum enjoyment!
Update: If youâre seeing this post now, This Week In Jams has been refreshed. No need to fear, you can find this particular playlist here:
Iâve sequenced this playlist to flow from daytime to nighttime, so here are a few tracks that I want to highlight:
Noon - 4 PM
Elton John, Dua Lipa, PNAU - âCold Heartâ
If youâre a mainstream pop hater then Iâm surprised you are here right now because TWIJers believe âjams are jamsâ đ€ and this 2021 track is stone cold summer stunner. Iâm fairly certain the Sun co-produced this track (donât check that)
4 PM - 8 PM
Disclosure x RAYE - âWaterfallâ
The Sun is still up but you are starting to think about night moves. This new track by Disclosure & Raye will keep your energy going as you figure out how to keep this dance bender going into the evening.
Charli XCX - âSelfish Girlâ
Blast this while switching into your nighttime fit, eating a nice dinner or going through with that second pre-game of the day đ stick around for one of the best 90s throwback bridges Iâve heard in a long time.
8 PM - Midnight
Tinashe - âHMU for a Good Timeâ ft. Channel Tres
Ok, now itâs nighttime and youâre locked in. You and I are pleading to Tinashe and Channel Tres to make a music video for this song BECAUSE IT NEEDS TO BE A WORLDWIDE HIT WTF. This is a 5/5 certified dance banger and Iâm mad I was two months behind đ we catchin up tho đ€
Midnight - 3 AM
Jennifer Loveless - âBackroll Buddyâ
Is this song over 10 minutes long? Yes. Does this song paint a perfect post-midnight dance scene where all logic has been tossed aside? Also yes!
Listening to this song for the past year has been a great nicotine patch to missing partying late into the night at my favorite bars đ
3 AM - 6 AM
Drama - â3AMâ
âLasssssst callllllllll!â is echoing in your brain and only poor decisions remain. However, you wonât know they are poor choices for another 12 hours, so letâs keep Energizer bunnying this day/night/day again and press forward until the sun rises.
