The music we never choose
We like to think of music as something deeply personal. We spend hours curating playlists, following artists across platforms and paying good money to see live shows.
Music, after all, is one of the most intimate ways we express identity and mood. But step back for a moment, and you will notice that much of the soundtrack to our daily lives is not ours at all.
From the supermarket aisle to the Uber or taxi ride, the treadmill at the gym to the endless scroll on TikTok, we are constantly immersed in soundscapes designed by someone else.
This phenomenon is what might be called “the music we never choose,” and it is one of the most powerful, yet least examined forces in modern culture.
In this article, Music News Blitz writer Lindokuhle Mlombo writes about how background playlists and algorithm-driven soundtracks quietly shape our lives.

Music news: CDs, cassettes and vinyl enjoying a resurgence in a digital world
For years, it seemed like streaming had dealt the final blow to physical music. Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube put nearly every song ever recorded directly into our pockets.

But in 2025, the story looks very different. Sales of vinyl records are at their highest in decades.
Cassettes, once left for dead, are popping up on merch tables at indie shows.
Even CDs, long dismissed as outdated, are enjoying a quiet resurgence.
Music News Blitz writer Anna Ferraz delves deeper into this phenomenon and why physical music has made such a powerful comeback.
