People are listening to mental health playlists in $2020$ more than ever, Spotify has revealed.

With the pandemic forcing people to spend time indoors and a seemingly never-ending bad news cycle, listeners are turning to content intended to calm them and allow them to practice mindfulness.

According to data gathered by Spotify to mark World Mental Health Day on Saturday ($10$ October), the music platform has seen a $50$ percent jump in global listens for playlists relating to mental health this year.

Content related to the terms ‘mindfulness’, ‘calm’, and ‘selfcare’ has also been streamed $57$ per cent more in $2020$ than in $2019$.

Spotify has its own mental health initiative called Heart & Soul, which aims to reduce stigma surrounding mental health issues in the workplace.
