Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Smoking weed and listening to music have always gone hand-in-hand, so Spotify recently decided to take an empirical look at the relationship.
Over 40,000 playlists have been created around a '420' theme on the streaming service, which we can safely assume relate to weed, and these were analysed by frequency of track.
Sadly, a lot of novelty tracks and obvious ones that reference marijuana in the title are in there - Afroman 'Because I Got High', Cypress Hill 'Hits From The Bong', that sort of thing - though there are a few less overt choices.
Kendrick Lamar's 'Bitch, Don't Kill My Vibe' is the sixth most-listened to 420 track, while Notorious B.I.G's 'Juicy' and Snoop Dogg's 'Gin And Juice' are in there too.
Spotify notes that 75% of the 40,000-plus playlists on Spotify with a '420' theme in their titles are created by males, with the service getting Willie Nelson and Method Man to curate two 420 playlists of their own for 4/20 back in April.
