University of Colorado Boulder has some relaxed music tastes. Students like Slightly Stoopid, they don’t really like Beyonce, and they are early to bed and early to rise, according to data released by Spotify.

Now, this is by no means a scientific study, but seeing as Spotify is a popular music streaming service — especially among college-aged people — it provides an interesting look at listening habits.

The data also shows that CU-Boulder listens to less pop than most universities and more dance/edm and country music.

Popular tracks include “Summer” by Calvin Harris, “Rather Be” by Clean Bandit and “Latch” by Disclosure. Popular artists include Calvin Harris, Flume, Kendrick Lamar and Drake.

In the overall list of top musical universities in America CU Boulder lands at No. 25. Arizona State University, Auburn University and Brigham Young University make the top three of the list.

Spotify also published a blog post along with the data that notes, “University of Colorado Boulder students play our study-oriented Focus playlists the most. They’re also top streamers of Relax.”
