Which music albums were hits this year?
Music is something that brings us together. At VHS this is not any different. All students have a different music taste. But what are students’ top five artists? And what apps do students use for said music? Popular apps are Spotify, Youtube music, Pandora and Apple Music, but not all are used by everyone. Some may not even be on this list or an app you have not heard of.

Carter Koontz ‘29 said, “I like Alex Schor and I use Spotify.” Alex Schor has 246 thousand listeners monthly with his first album being three figure man. All of these artists are different but the people who listen to them all have one thing in common: they enjoy music. Music is important. It has been around for hundreds of years and it expresses culture, religion, feelings and so much more. It helps people communicate in their own way and shows their creativity. Music is amazing and something that should be spoken about more and extremely appreciated.
