Netflix period drama Bridgerton turned heads from its first episode – not only for its sexually-charged Regency romances, but for its thoroughly modern soundtrack – with a twist.

While the Duke of Hastings (Rege-Jean Page) is absent from Bridgerton season 2, the musical style which made such a splash in the first season is back with a bang.

Seasons 1 and 2 feature instrumental covers of well-known modern pop tracks, from the likes of Rihanna's song Diamonds, to Nirvana's Stay Away.

Bridgerton season 2 sees the narrative focus shift to another Bridgerton sibling, Anthony Bridgerton (Jonathan Bailey), ready to find a wife and attempting to woo new girl Edwina Sharma (Charithra Chandran) whilst constantly butting heads with her strong-willed sister Kate Sharma (Simone Ashley).

During the second season, we're treated to a playlist full of pop hits which have been given an orchestral makeover, including Madonna's Material Girl, which plays at the ball where Anthony first lays eyes on Edwina.

One track which makes an appearance in the second season is an instrumental cover of Alanis Morrissette's You Oughtta Know. And in case you were wondering what that would sound like with Morrissette's vocals over the top, she's only gone and recorded a brand new performance of just that for Netflix!

If, like many fans, you're struggling to place the songs, we've put together a comprehensive list of every one which features in season 2 – and you can also scroll for the full season 1 soundtrack too.

So, without further ado, here are all the songs in Bridgerton's soundtrack – including the original recording artist and who does the cover.
