Boo! It’s Year Four’s first Music Monday of October, and this week we’re saluting those spooky Halloween specters with a spirited playlist!

Whether you fancy yourself a ghostess with the mostest or if you’re just here for the boo’s, there’s no denying that ghosts are one of the most popular figures of Halloween… and we wanted to celebrate our favorite phantoms in playlist form!
Over the last few years, some of our favorite playlists we’ve assembled have been the ones centered around specific Halloween icons, from Year Two’s Witches’ Night to last year’s Monsters!, so we were really excited to put together a playlist all about ghosts. And the great thing about centering a playlist around ghosts is that there are countless ghost-themed songs across every genre imaginable! So rather than hone in on one specifically, we’re using this opportunity to take a boo’s-cruise with stops all across the musical spectrum.
Ghost Stories haunts right from the start with one of the most iconic ghost songs of all time (we’re of course talking about ghosts of the grim, grinning variety), before spinning off into various ghostly yarns from the alt-pop/rock world of the mid-2000s (or as some might say: emo), some golden oldies, retro novelties, and even a little electro-synth/pop to shake those sheets! There are, of course, a few surprises along the way, including some of our favorite ghost jams alongside the hauntingly delightful pièces de résistance you’d expect. Heck, Burl Ives even makes an appearance!
Of all of this year’s playlists, Ghost Stories is perhaps our most eclectic (which is saying something given this year’s batch!), featuring a full range of songs that all center around that timeless Halloween trope of a ghost. And though the songs in this collection may hail from almost every corner of the musical universe, they’re all likely to stick with you long after the playlist ends, not unlike a ghost haunting the halls of an old house.
So pull up this week’s playlist and settle in… we’ve got a few Ghost Stories for you.











Always looking for a good playlist. I went and liked it, thank you!
