Spotify Data Reveals Most Popular Disney Sing-A-Long Songs

Halfords used Spotify playlist data to discover the most common Disney songs and soundtracks to listen to while driving. The study analyzed thousands of playlists that included ‘Disney driving’, ‘Disney for the car’, and ‘Disney road trip’ to show that “How Far I’ll Go” from Moana is the most popular Disney driving song.
