Lickd’s Halloween Playlist

Moonlight by XXXTENTACION

XXXTENTACION’s number one album, ‘?’ is full of dark and emotionally intense content including stand-out track ‘Moonlight’ which has over a whopping 1.3 billion streams on Spotify. The Broward County artist bends and breaks genre barriers, stirring together rap, R&B, punk rock, and metal that snaps without warning from moments of emotional crooning to cathartic screams. Another good Halloween track from this album is ‘Schizophrenia‘ although it’s a little… scary.

Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites by Skrillex

The title track and most popular song off Skrillex’s 2010 EP, this track has over 160 million streams. It was used in film, games and even won a Grammy, but almost more impressively: it’s acknowledged as the catalyst for the spike in EDM popularity in the decade following its release. With ‘scary monsters’ literally in the title and a song full of backwards lyrics, there’s no denying this as a Halloween song.

bad to the bone by bbno$ prod. lentra

With over 11 million streams, this is a chilled, laidback track but at the same time perfect for dancing to at your next Halloween party. Not heard of bbno$ before? Well, better get used to that name (pronounced baby no money) as he’s gaining a lot of traction, especially after TikTok viral trending song Edamame.

Black Magic by Jonasu

“Black..black magic, you work your voodoo on me..” and perhaps it will work your voodoo on your viewers too! Another TikTok trending song, this track has over 44 million streams and over 153 thousand uses on TikTok alone. Who doesn’t love a little black magic voodoo at Halloween?

We wish we could go on but we’ll leave you to rest in peace and listen to the tracks yourself:
