Music for 8 year old girl

9 replies

Can anyone recommend pop music for an eight year old? What are your 8 year old daughters listening too at the moment?

I have a little girl that loves pop music but I unfortunately can't stand it so I have no idea what is popular. She hates my rock/trance/punk collection that the rest of us enjoy listening to so I want to get her some contemporary pop music so that she has something she can choose to listen to and so she isn't an alien to her friends. I don't mind putting it on for a bit so she gets a turn.

She doesn't know any bands but she enjoys Dance Monkey, Happy (Pharrel) and that sort of thing. If very cheesy pop music comes on TV she tells me she likes it.

Can anyone recommend something 'in' and fashionable? I have Amazon music but it's just a minefield Grin feeling very old and unfashionable.

DD is just 9 and likes music from films and tv series. Theme tune to Spirit, into a fantasy (dragons), I am with you (frozen), loyal brave true (Mulan), S Club 7 (!), How far I’ll go etc

Mine loves Taylor Swift and we stick Spotify playlists on, 00s, happy summer hits etc

Mine are 6 and 7 but Disney film tracks (Frozen, Moana, Decendants - love those ones!, etc), Taylor Swift, SClub, Queen, Spice Girls, Ed Sheeran, George Ezra, Lewis Capaldi, Little Mix, George Michael, Killers, lady Gaga, 90s indie etc are all popular.

Alexa just plays us stuff!

Parry Grip is also very popular 🙄

He’s probably not cool but mine loves Nick Cope

Thanks , some great ideas here for us to try for her.

Parry Grip sounds like a Victorian ailment Grin

Shocked that Sclub7 are still popular.

Mine is 8, and she loves music from the year she was born. Spotify has a 2013 playlist, and we’ve been listening to it a lot recently. Perhaps start with that.

Mine like the Radio station FunKids. Its on Alexa devices. (As well as Fun Kids Party, Silly and Junior).

My 8yo likes Shotgun by George Ezra, lots of stuff by Bruno Mars, Lewis Capaldi, the kid Laroi, Conan Grey.

8 yo loves descendants songs.
She also listens to One Voice Children's Choir singing popular songs quite often.
