So I'm music obsessed and curate a ton of playlists but I work a public job, so I have a few mass broad appeal playlists. Send me a DM if you want and I'll share my most broad appeal ones with you

For the general public I wouldn't put any albums from specific artists. Even an artist who is popular the world over the majority of the general public will only know their "hits" and not all the album tracks, so even if you were shuffling through albums there will be a lot of stuff people don't know and the general public generally just wanna hear the same shit over and over not explore catalogues.

So I would grab a load of popular compilation albums. I'd grab all those "now that's what I call music" slop, maybe some hits compilations from different decades and a few different mainline genres. Just stick to stuff that is mainstream as fuck.

Obviously where you are geographically will change what is most popular but you should have at least an idea of what is popular where you are anyway :D

Look up a Pop punk classics playlist or something like that
