Pandora and Tennis Channel are setting the stage for the Australian Open with a playlist unlike anything you’ve ever listened to before. The collaboration between the tennis broadcaster and music streaming platform is allowing listeners to explore tracks from a specific country for the very first time.
Music and tennis go hand in hand as players prepare for matches to the beat of their favorite artists, even walking out with their headphones still on. Music is also a huge part of the tournament experience with pump-up songs for the warm-ups, verses of popular songs during changeovers, and Melbourne Park even features it’s very own two-week music fest each year at the AO Live Stage at Middle Terrace.
Over the past year, some of the biggest names in the game have revealed their Pandora Playlists, including Sloane Stephens, Iga Swiatek,Danielle Collins, Alison Riske and Jennifer Brady. Now, the most recent collaboration between Pandora and Tennis Channel showcases the most “thumbed up” songs by Australian artists streamed on Pandora. Pandora Top Thumb data captures the tracks most “thumbed up” by listeners on the platform, creating a list of the most popular songs on the platform in a certain category.
So to get you in the right mindset for the Australian Open, here’s a look at Pandora's Most-Thumbed Songs by Australian Artists:
