What are some of the albums I can get for free with Hoopla?
Here’s a sample of some of the music you can access with Hoopla. There are always more titles being added, so every time you browse you can find something new (including new releases!).
Olivia Dean: The Art of Loving (2025)
This is the second studio album from this British chanteuse, and it’s romantic, soulful, and joyous. “Man I Need” is the chart-topping single, but the retro-vibe “Close Up” and jazz-infused “Baby Steps” are worth a listen (or 50!).
Hamilton: Original Broadway Cast Recording (various artists, 2015)
There’s singing, there’s rapping, there’s American history. On its surface, it shouldn’t work, but if you’ve ever had a listen to the soundtrack from this smash Broadway musical, you know that it most assuredly does. “Alexander Hamilton,” “Aaron Burr, Sir,” “My Shot”—proof that in the hands of a creative visionary (Lin-Manuel Miranda), history is actually thrilling.
Frozen (various artists, 2013)
This little-known soundtrack is just waiting to be discovered and appreciated! Just kidding, of course—at this point there are probably very few people who have not heard at least one hit from this collection of songs from the Disney film. “Do You Want to Build a Snowman,” “For the First Time in Forever,” and, of course, “Let It Go.” Delightful.
Morgan Wallen: I’m the Problem (2025)
This is the third consecutive #1 album on Billboard’s 200 for Wallen—in fact, I’m the Problem debuted at the top spot and remained there for eight weeks. He wrote and recorded the album on his farm near Nashville. Singles from the album include “I’m a Little Crazy,” “Just in Case,” “What I Want,” and “Superman,” which Wallen wrote for his son.
Benson Boone: American Heart (2025)
Remember the guy who quit American Idol in 2021, wanting to pursue his career on his own instead of being labeled an “American Idol kid”? That kid, Benson Boone, made good. American Heart is the singer-songwriter’s second studio album and includes the singles “Sorry I’m Here for Someone Else,” “Mystical Magical,” and “Momma Song.” It debuted at #2 on the Billboard 200.
