has revealed an unusual work habit. Sharing a post on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), Armstrong said that he listens to the same song on repeat for hours to stay focused. The post comes after a recent
Spotify playlist leak
that showed Armstrong has a playlist where the same song is repeated 60 times. Armstrong confirmed the news in the X post, saying, 'From the Spotify leak — I've been exposed for having a 7-hour-long playlist with only one song on it. It helps me do deep focused work, don't ask me why.'
The song that Armstrong listens to is "Long Way Home" by music producer and DJ Gareth Emery. The song is 7 minutes and 25 seconds long, which makes the entire playlist around 7.5 hours. Emery responded to Armstrong's post, saying, 'I love this! Back when I wrote it, everyone thought 7 minutes was way too long and it needed cutting down — glad I kept it exactly as it was, and love seeing that it's still out there doing good in the world!'
Spotify playlist leak reveals CEOs music preferences
The Spotify playlist leak, being referred to as the 'Panama Playlists,' revealed song choices from various CEOs and politicians. Armstrong's playlist became a talking point because of its unusual structure. According to the leak, Armstrong has 10 public playlists on Spotify. Some of his other favorite songs include:
"Two Suns In The Sky" by Davi
"Greatest Love of All" by Whitney Houston
"SOL" by Pryda
"Wait For It" by the Original Broadway cast of Hamilton
"Shallow" by Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper
The playlist leak has raised concerns about Spotify's privacy settings, which by default can make user playlists public.

There's no major body transformation here, just a slight difference fans picked up on, magnified by the fact that it's his first camp as a married man. And honestly, it could all just be lighting.

Josh Allen's public life has always fascinated fans from his relationship with Hailee Steinfeld to his on-field swagger. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like The Best Method for a Flat Stomach After 50 (It's Genius!)

'Why is Varamahalakshmi celebrated?' Bengaluru shop's ChatGPT-inspired ad goes viral; here's why
In Bengaluru, where new ideas are always buzzing, a local saree shop has found a creative way to grab attention ahead of the Varamahalakshmi festival. Instead of using the usual ads, the shop put up a display that looks just like a ChatGPT conversation screen– and it's got everyone talking on social media. An ad that speaks the language of today's audience The ad copies the look of a chat window from a conversational AI, with the question, 'Why is Varamahalakshmi festival celebrated?' This clever twist has caught people's attention and shows how Bengaluru brands are using modern digital trends to stay relatable and connect with today's audience. Sharing the image on X (formerly Twitter), one user noted, 'Local saree shop in Bangalore using ChatGPT mobile interface for an ad is a first. Earlier, it would be the Google search bar design. Just Bangalore things, I guess.' This remark, according to the post, highlights how Bengaluru continues to lead in blending tradition with cutting-edge trends. Timing aligned with cultural rhythms According to a Hindustan Times report, with the festival approaching on August 8 – a time when saree shopping is at its peak in South India– the shop's campaign couldn't be better timed. Using a conversational AI style adds a fun, modern twist to the festive shopping buzz. Flexible payment options complement the campaign The store's modern thinking isn't just limited to its marketing. As one user shared on X, it also offers a scheme where customers 'pay for 11 months, get 1 month free' – making it easier for people to shop during the festive season without feeling the financial pinch, according to the HT report. Echoing Bengaluru's tech-savvy spirit According to the report, this campaign has drawn comparisons to other viral Bengaluru moments, such as an image of an auto driver streaming a Naval Ravikant podcast while navigating the city's traffic. As one social media comment put it, 'Only in Bengaluru can a saree shop and an auto driver both go viral for tech-savvy moments.' This captures the city's unique blend of tradition, technology, and everyday hustle. Thumb image: Canva (for representative purposes only)
