Mcdonald’sĪnother fast-food giant with a Spotify presence is McDonald’s. Barillas playlists span all sorts of pasta shapes and genres, from “Boom Bap Fusilli” to “Pleasant Melancholy Penne”. Barilla created a series of playlists that last exactly how long it takes to cook your desired pasta to perfection.

Some use the oven timer, others still throw it at the wall, but there’s now a better way. If you’re a pasta perfectionist like we are, odds are you don’t mess around with how long you cook your noodles to get that ideal al dente texture. KFC France put together a Spotify playlist appropriately dubbed “Bucket Bangers” featuring songs from Kanye West, Madonna, The Beastie Boys, and more, all of which reference the fried chicken legend.

KFC has remained so much of a staple that it’s solidified itself in pop culture – particularly references in music. But one brand that has stood the test of time is none other than Kentucky Fried Chicken. It seems like every major fast-food company is throwing their hat into the chicken sandwich game these last couple of years. Where there’s an audience, there’s a way, and these brands have found a way to use Spotify playlists to reach new customers and accomplish their marketing goals. Over 400 million people worldwide pay for a music subscription service like Spotify or Apple Music, and major brands are taking notice. How do you listen to your music? On the radio? In your car? Still, rocking that ’90s CD booklet that’s in your glovebox (we don’t judge)? For most of us, streaming is the way we consume our tunes.
