In celebration of The BRIT Awards 2019, headline sponsor Mastercard has conducted research revealing our nation’s love for singing in the shower (35%), with 42% of those admitting that it makes them happy and the acoustics in the bathroom make their voice sound better. 80% cited music as being an integral part of their everyday moments and memories.
The research also uncovered the nation’s top five smash hits to sing along to while soaping up:
- Justin Timberlake, ‘Cry Me A River’
- George Ezra, ‘Shotgun’
- Ed Sheeran, ‘Shape of You’
- Calvin Harris x Dua Lipa, ‘One Kiss’
- Jax Jones ft. Raye ‘You Don’t Know Me’
The study by Mastercard revealed that nearly 60% of people listen to music when alone, with 76% happy to sing along when no-one can hear them.
Millennials topped the charts as the generation who sing the most in the shower; not afraid to express themselves in a space they feel comfortable. We’re a nation of popstars it seems, with a whopping 60% of respondents citing they prefer to sing along to chart hits over power ballads (18%).
