Raise your hand if you have a playlist solely dedicated to your favorite Disney songs – for the record, we raised both our hands, and legs. We LOVE Disney songs!
The results from a new study were just released that revealed that Frozen and Moana songs were among the most played on Spotify.
It’s not really a surprise, since from the first note of Frozen‘s “Let It Go”, you’re probably belting it out like Idina Menzel in the movie. Same goes for Moana‘s “How Far I’ll Go”.
Check out the Top 10 List below!
You can see the Top 50 list HERE. The oldest song on the list is Robin Hood‘s “Oo-de-lally”, which was released in 1973.

When the teaser trailer for Wreck-It Ralph 2 came out, we were all screaming at the little girl who looked EXACTLY like baby Moana – but it turns out that isn’t actually baby Moana; or Moana at all.
Sure, the little girl might be named Mo (certainly an indicator that she could be Moana) and her mom in the flick is voiced by the same person who voiced Moana’s mom in Moana
– Nicole Scherzinger. But, it’s still not Moana.
Directors Rich Moore and Phil Johnston, told Entertainment Weekly, “We read the comments [when the teaser came out], we saw people saying, ‘Wait, is that Baby Moana?’ So, her name is Mo, and Moana’s mom does do the voice. But she’s not Moana.”
See, they say that, but then we look at the pics and the names, and are like, ‘Are you sure?’
They’re sure: “We would say, she’s a descendant of Moana, who’s named Moana. We’re just going to go full meta on this one.”
So, the only Moana in the film is Moana, the princess.
Wreck-It Ralph 2: Ralph Breaks The Internet is out in theaters now.
