18 Songs From 'The Hills' You Definitely Made Your Myspace Profile Songs
From 2006 to 2010, The Hills music supervisors Jon Ernst and Joe Cuello didn’t just soundtrack the story lines of Lauren Conrad, Heidi Montag, and Audrina Patridge — they also provided us with a string of incredible musical moments across four years.
By including then-up-and-coming pop rock bands like The Maine and All Time Low alongside established hit-makers like Britney Spears and Timbaland, the show seamlessly blended indie rock and dance music into the background of every episode. The songs featured on the show often charted high on the iTunes chart and skyrocketed new acts to Myspace fame. Yeah, remember when that was a thing?
MTV has compiled 41 hours of music from The Hills on a Spotify playlist, featuring throwback tracks from Coldplay, Death Cab For Cutie, Lady Gaga, Sia, and many more.
