CF Weekend Playlist – 15 Songs to Love Right Now
I’ve wanted to do this feature for a while, and now that my posts appear on Fridays, I can! Every week, I’ll be giving you song recommendations for your weekend ahead. So whether it’s for a pre-game, party, road trip, trip to the gym, or library study session, you’ll always have music to rock out to!
Each week, I’ll include a playlist that you can directly listen to right here, as well as a list of the songs featured and a link to iTunes, where you can download each song to your computer if you want.
Be warned: some of these songs have explicit lyrics, so listen with caution!
This week’s Weekend Playlist includes:
- I Hate College (Remix) – Sam Adams – YouTube
- Yes – LMFAO – Download
- Back to the Crib – Juelz Santana feat. Chris Brown – Download
- Your Love’s a Drug – Leighton Meester – Download
- Break Your Heart – Taio Cruz – Download

This week’s CF Weekend Playlist has no theme beside the fact that it’s a list of songs I’m currently addicted to! They put me in the best mood, whether I’m listening to them as I walk to class or before I go out for a night with my friends.
These songs are also the perfect transition from dull, dreary weather to sunny days. So put on your most fashionable outfit, a pair of trendy sunglasses, and grab your iPod with this playlist on loud, and you’ll immediately be in a great mood and looking stylish as you strut through campus!

Maya
love the list!!! Airplanes – B.O.B. (Feat. Hayley Williams of Paramore) should defnitely be on there!! it’s a perfect transition to summer song :D
Sherry
love that lily allen song.
great post idea!
looking forward to listening to more.
Jem
Personally, I think that some of these songs are rubbish, especially Rude Boy, the lyrics are totally degrading to men and women. However, I like some of the other songs such as Lilly Allen’s.
Ashley
perfect! the I Hate College remix is one of my favorite songs to put me in a good mood.
Lindsay
Personally, this list doesn’t seem all that creative or revolutionary to me. These are just songs from artists that are played on every radio station, every day. There are countless amazing artists that don’t get the same airtime as these not-as-talented, popular artists do. This post should be dedicated to them.
For example, right now, I’m loving:
Robots by Dan Mangan
Midnight Coward by Stars
Doo Wah Doo by Kate Nash
Goodnight Moon by Said the Whale
Chocolate by Snow Patrol
War of My Life/ the entire Battle Studies album by John Mayer
(I realize that john mayer and snow patrol get a fair amount of air time, but I love them anyways)
Ashlie
if we ever meet again – timbaland ft. katy perry
monster – lady gaga
raise a little hell – shiloh
Carolanne
great list! =] and a great idea! i always love discovering new music!
how about some Rollerblades by Eliza Doolittle

or even Topsy Turvy by Family Force 5 (from the album Almost Alice)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=scYfxddVXv0
Check it out! =]

Lindsay – I see your point, but you don’t need to sound off against the whole post here. I really enjoy both the songs posted in the original list and the ones you put up, but there’s a pretty clear difference. The playlist from the original post is feel of upbeat, fast-paced, bass-heavy music – it’s supposed to pump you up and catch the tone of a certain time. It’ll remind you of the time it was ON the radio, which is nice if you want music that’ll remind you of getting pumped up for parties with your friends in college, and it GETS you pumped and amped up because it’s paced to make you want to dance!
In terms of the playlist itself, yes I love it! I’m SUPER pumped about a lot of those songs, and don’t mind the opportunity to come across the few I haven’t heard before. Morning after dark is ABSOLUTELY fantastic, I’m glad to see it getting some recognition – I haven’t actually heard it on the radio at all yet, but every person I’ve passed it around to has gone nuts for it. Love the post, love that there will be more to come!!
Jess
love this post! maybe some road-tripping tunes for the next post?
btw love this song… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NXYnsZ7ZLFQ

Kelsi
I’m right there with Maya! Airplanes by B.o.B. featuring Hayley Williams.
Loooove that song so much!
Renee
Heyy I loved this section !

Hannah
Great post! I’m currently loving OMG by Usher – there’s no way to listen to it and not dance!

This is a different kind of post for CF. We usually focus on fashion posts but I am very happy that CF is becoming a lifestyle AND beauty/style site.
That being said, here are some psychedelic artists/bands that I’m listening to right now. Most of these bands are indie are part of the synthpop, techno revolution happening in England right now thanks to bands la La Roux:
Chew Lips (songs their debut album “Unicorn”)
Dan Black (songs from his album, “Un”)
Florence & the Machine (songs from her album, “Lungs”)
We Have Band (from their debut album, “WHB”)
Vampire Weekend (from their album, “Contra”)
Lissy Trullie (from her album, “Self Taught Learner”)
Marina and the Diamonds (from her album, “The Family Jewels”)
Yelle (from their album, “Pop Up”)
And a little Patti Smith
But music is such a strange thing to talk about. It’s not like a math equation. There are many, many answers. I might love Patti Smith and one of you might hate her and her hair. My best friend hates talking about what music she likes because she says it’s like being naked in front of everyone.
Lo
LOVE this post! def do more! best song right now- airplanes by b.o.b!!
fashionista
I like this post!!! :D
Shannon
Why does this site need to become a “lifestyle” blog? I come to this site to read about fashion and to see cute outfit ideas, not to look at a list of songs that are on the radio 24/7.
Madeleine
I think this feature is definately a good idea because fashion and music typically go hand in hand. In the future could you maybe include more indie style songs??
Fern
I’m all for evolving College Fashion into other areas such as lifestyle and what not as long as you all don’t forget about the roots of what makes this blog amazing !
Zephyr - CF Editor
Glad you guys like the post! While my musical taste is more on the indie side, I personally love checking out what other people are listening to – it’s an interesting look into someone’s life and can tell you a lot about their personality. Sarah’s list, for me, was cool because it exposed me to some songs that I had never heard of since they aren’t normally my taste. Thought you guys might feel the same!
Also, Shannon & Fern – Sorry if Tiara’s comment gave you the wrong idea! This site is not “becoming a lifestyle blog” – we simply wanted to include the occasional post (like, once or twice a week, tops) that wasn’t fashion-focused. That said, fashion and beauty will always be our main focuses here. Don’t worry!!
Lis
I’m liking the post, although most of the songs on the playlist I already have and the ones I don’t, I am not a big fan of, but I like the fact that people are discussing other songs that they like. Tiara especially, I’m really liking the music you’ve listed and I agree to what you mean about discussing musical taste. One of my best friends, he hates my taste in music and I find his taste quite strange and we’re always trying to convert each other. It’s pretty funny.
Song I do like very much:
Anything from Glee, 4 minutes is a recent favorite, yes I am a Kurt fan (:
In love with a girl by Gavin Degraw
Your Guardian Angel by The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus
A Drop In The Ocean by Ron Pope
Never Say Never by The Fray
Shots by LMFAO (includes profanity)
Celebrity Status by Marianas Trench
Good Girls Go Bad by Cobra Starship and Leighton Meester
Forever by Drake
Your Man by Down With Webster
And I am aware I have an awfully strange taste and collection of music (:
Karissa
It;s not favorite music, but it definitely is fun to dance to and to get you pumped up. These will definitely be added to my workout playlist!
Maybe you could do some country one week? Or more mellow artists like Ingrid Michaelson, Regina Spektor, or Joshua Radin? Songs from movies or TV shows? Just some ideas :]
Julie
I really into “Over” by Drake and “Forever Young” by Jay-Z
Jennifer
Love the playlist, though it would be super nice if you could offer free downloads of the song/playlist.
I’m currently addicted to Airplanes (Part 2) by B.o.B. featuring Eminem and Hayley Williams of Paramore.
Maggie
maybe some real music next time? ones that arent all rap? lilly allen was a start…
Valeria
Mmmh.. it’s hard to make a post like this. But I think to succeed you have to realize that you have to put different kinds of music. I agree with Lindsay when she said that you could use this space for posting indie music :)
Personally, when I’m gonna workout I use songs with a catchy rythm, like Naturally by Selena Gomez, or songs like that. And I really don’t listen to music in any other time lol. Just relaxing music like Yiruma when I study, so it would be really great if you post some indie musicians! I loved Kate Nash the moment I listened to her on Lindsay’s post! :)
Just an idea :)

Shannon & Fern – Calm down. CF is a fashion site and always will be a fashion site. I mean, the site is called College FASHION. Not College LIFESTYLE. All I meant was that CF is incorporating lifestyle-related posts into the site and that I liked that.
Giselle
whoa people are kinda touchy on the subject of music! but its a good thing that not everyone is agreeing on the same thing. well, thank you for posting this! i actually loved it. i never ever listen to the radio so some of the songs you posted i heard for the first time and really liked them.. :)
Sarah - Binghamton University
I’d have to agree with Lindsay. It would be kind of awkward to have a John Mayer slow song mixed in with an upbeat techno song! Each week is going to be a different theme. This week’s that you just read was more upbeat, good for a pregame or a CD for your car that’ll put you in a good mood and get you pumped up for whatever you’re doing! This Friday’s post is going to be completely different, so it’ll have a different vibe to it, as will the next week’s!
Maxine
I love Leighton meester’s song, Your love’s a Drug and Lily Allen, The Fear. They both put me in the best mood.
