Could you be addicted to music? Yes!


If you find yourself craving your favorite song or artist – you’re probably a music addict...  

ASAP Science put music to the drug test and they have determined it’s addictive. That’s because listening to our favorite tunes, or catchy new songs, triggers the brain to release dopamine – and we all LOVE dopamine. 

Kids who were hooked on music and hooked up to an MRI scanner provided some hard evidence to the music addiction claims. Scientists could actually predict a future hit song by reading the activity in the pleasure center of their brains when the right chords were struck. The most addictive songs were those that had predictable melodies with a catchy chorus, leaving the kids craving more and needing to hear it again.
