Gap In-Store Playlists (04/2025)
It's been years since I started one of these threads asking if anyone here had also worked at Gap and saved the paper playlists that came with each month's in-store CD/tape.
With Gap's current phenomenal resurgence, I figured I might see if anyone here had Gap playlists also. I have recovered over 200 but still need several more.
Most of the former Gap employees who shared the playlists they saved with me have been gay men, so hoping there are some more here.
Every Gift, Only Gap!

I have several of the actual in-store CDs and tapes transferred to digital and posted at the Internet Archive for streaming and downloading.

The full Gap July 1999 playlist is one of the best!

I also have over 200 Gap playlists on Spotify (not all tracks available there, unfortunately).

Nobody is going to reply to you now that we know you’re a racist Trumper, OP.
Nice try though.

What OP left out were the subliminal messages encoded in the playlists. Disengage your brain and spend, spend, spend because why not?!

And really, how embarrassing. This lunatic thought he was going to parlay this pathetic hobby into something substantial. Dude, you’re 50 by now. Get over it.

Thousands of people have, especially a lot of Millennials and Gen Z, who are fascinated with the 1990s and Early 2000s.
The link below has dozens of actual in-store Gap CDs and tapes from 1992 to 2005. You can stream or download. There's a lot of great music in there.

Here's Gap June 2005 - 20 years ago!
This is a nice time capsule of mid-2005.

Gap October 1992 is considered by many (including me) to be one of the very best. It has a nice mix of House, Alternative, Acid Jazz, and Pop.

[quote]gap has had a resurgence? since when?
Dozens of new Gap stores are opening all across the United States and the world. Gap's resurgence has been so successful that physical stores are coming back, many to locations where they had closed before.
NorthPark Center in Dallas (where I worked from 1995-2003) is constructing a new Gap store right now. The original store shut down during the pandemic, like so many others.
Gap at Galleria Dallas, where I worked for several years, remained open and is experiencing fantastic business.
Zac Posen has been the savior that Gap needed. He's just amazing!
BTW, my Gap Playlists Instagram account was referenced last week in Rolling Stone and this week in Bloomberg as being a significant part in Gap's return to the public's notice.
Here is a link to Gap June 1999 CD:

GapBody playlists were always a little breezier, a little jazzier than the music playing in the Gap Adult stores.
GapBody March 2004 is a nice representation of this.

How come the actual Gap account isn't promoting your sad sack effort the way they are promoting this competing (and obviously superior) alternative?
Is it because you are a known racist and MAGAT?

At the very least you could have decent taste in music and retailers. Is that really too much to ask?

I worked at County Seat (a Gap knockoff) for a few months in the early 1990s. They had great, esoteric playlists (probably similar to Gap).
