If you are reading this article, you probably already love Hamilton as I do, or at least you might have seen it on Disney+. But for the few humans on the face of the Earth who are not familiar with the award-winning rap musical written by Lin Manuel Miranda, I highly recommend that you go watch the recording on Disney+ or listen to the Original Broadway Cast Recording. Without further ado, here are my personal favorite Hamilton songs that you should definitely listen to!

  1. Overall favorite: “Yorktown”
  2. If you want to learn the background info: “Alexander Hamilton”
  3. Jam out with your friends: “Guns and Ships”
  4. A crowd favorite and absolute bop: “Room Where It Happens”
  5. The breakup song: “Burn” (Phillipa Soo makes me cry every time!)
  6. To unleash your inner pop singer: “Satisfied”
  7. A true classic: “The Schuyler Sisters”
  8. Because GROFFSAUCE: “You’ll Be Back” (And really any King George III songs)
  9. To convince yourself that you can rap: “Washington On Your Side”
  10. A feel-good song: “One Last Time”

I hope you go listen to these picks! I am so obsessed with Hamilton and I could talk about it for hours, so message me on Instagram @ariel.farahh or Snapchat @ariel.farah to discuss! Thanks for reading!
