Spotify Shares Streaming Trends and Playlist Recommendations to Accompany Critical Hours During Ramadan

Jakarta, March 5, 2025 – Data from Spotify shows that during Ramadan, audio and video content become essential companions, especially during critical hours. As daily routines shift, Spotify becomes a go-to partner for the day—starting the morning, staying productive during the day, and unwinding at night.

Spotify observed a surge in music streaming between 2-3 PM, the critical hours when hunger starts to set in, time seems to slow down, and temptations become harder to resist. Podcast consumption also rises at 6 AM, with listeners tending to choose religious and self-care genres, while lighter content like comedy and horror is preferred at 4 PM.

Playlists created by Indonesian users during Ramadan also reveal interesting trends, with “healing” being one of the top moods, reflecting a desire for peace and balance, which are central to the meaning of this holy month.

Here are Spotify’s recommended playlists and podcasts to accompany you through the critical hours during Ramadan:

1. Start the Day with Energy After Sahur
   Waking up after sahur can be tough—feeling sleepy and needing energy to start the day. It’s the perfect time to listen to an upbeat playlist like “Semangat Sahur” to boost your mood. Combine this with the engaging podcast PODCAST ANCUR, featuring the segment “KANGEN PULANG WITH PODCAST ANCUR,” where listeners from abroad share their longing for the warmth of home during Ramadan.

2. Fight Drowsiness and Stay Productive During the Day
   As the day goes on, energy often dips, but you still need to stay focused for work or study. During these critical hours, the “Lebih Produktif di Ramadan” playlist can help bring your energy back up. Watching podcasts can also help motivate you, such as Biar Ga Nyesel, which offers tips on how to handle the critical hours of Ramadan more effectively and meaningfully.

3. Resist Temptation Before Iftar When Hunger Strikes
   The hours leading up to iftar can often feel like the longest part of Ramadan. To get through this critical time, let the “Laper Parah” playlist keep you company, while RAPOT podcast brings laughter with its special Ramadan segment, BUAKAKAK (Buka Pake Apa Kak), available in video format to entertain you and distract from hunger.

4. Moments Before Iftar with Melodic Tunes to Soothe Your Ears
   As Maghrib approaches, streets are filled with people shopping for iftar. Whether you’re stuck in traffic or waiting for the adhan, find peace and happiness with Kita dan Waktu through their Cerita Ramadan content to accompany your iftar. You can also listen to the “Sejuknya Ramadan” playlist, featuring Ramadan-themed songs from both local and international artists to welcome the evening with calmness.

5. Find Peace as the Night Approaches
   After iftar, take a moment to reflect and relax. Unwind with the “Refleksi Diri” playlist, which includes calming songs to help you reflect on the day that has passed and prepare for tomorrow. Pair this with the Berbeda tapi Bersama religious podcast to deepen your spiritual connection during the month of Ramadan.
