Below, we’ll dive into the top tracks and the hidden messages within the official coronation playlist.
Is the coronation playlist a flop?
AsEuronewsputs it: “Where’s British-Sri Lankan singer M.I.A.?
Australia’s very own Kylie Minogue or Natalie Imbruglia?
Cameroon’s Irma or Blanche Bailly?
The list goes on, and no Indian artists to be seen.”
Such heartfelt solidarity is the most inspiring expression of loving our neighbor as ourself" (viaYouTube).
If so, we’re not mad about it.
See, the king and the Spice Girls have quite a history.
But that’s not all the history King Charles has with the band.
After all, King Charles is known for being progressive and pushing for social change.
Written by Freddie Mercury and released in 1977, it was in the No.
2 spot on the U.K. Singles Chart and at No.4 on the U.S.
However, we’re a little confused about why this particular song was chosen.
“King” by Years & Years, which did hit No.
1 on the U.K. Singles Chart in 2015, is just not a particularly celebratory tune.
With a chorus like, “I was a king under your control … ## Is this playlist celebrating the country … or the king?
Big Issuewrote: “A coronation isn’t a celebration of a King.
It’s a celebration of a country and its people.”
“There’s some decent songs on here …
It’s a waste,” Big Issue stated.
“And maybe, in a way, it’s perfect?
Sounds like the monarchy to me.”
Ultimately, while the playlist does have its fun moments, it feels like a bit of a letdown.
