It's no secret that musicians everywhere are vying for a feature on this year's Love Island UK, even better if it's the soundtrack to a big breakup or couple's first kiss. Apps like Shazam make it easier than ever for viewers to find the music they love from a TV show and like magic you can watch your streaming numbers grow.
We were lucky enough to have a track from our catalogue featured on the show last week. It's not what you'd expect from us but we like to think of it as a guilty pleasure, emphasis on the pleasure...
This got us thinking, is it all guilty pleasures that soundtrack the dating show or are there some surprising artists in the mix? Well, we had a look and were pleasantly surprised. The Love Island soundtrack has included artists like Nirvana, Arctic Monkeys, Billie Eilish, Jungle, Wolf Alice, Wet Leg, Booker-T and the MG's, Led Zeppelin, Nina Simone, Glass Animals, to name but a few.
We've put together our top 5 tracks featured on Love Island UK, from artists you wouldn't quite expect...
