I assumed the Phil Collins was going to be a drone band I'd not heard of, but nope. Phil Collins. Helluva of a lead-off.

Spotify Wrapped giving me weird results this year, possibly a side effect of using the app less thanks to less work stability. Still, seems odd that Gordon Lightfoot is my top artist when not one of his tracks landed in my 100 most-played.

Mine is 50% video game soundtracks I listen to at work. Any ideas if there's a way for it not to count stuff like this?

My top artist was Yosi Horikawa. Top of the decade was Susanne Sundfør. I kind of liked the little story it made up for me

mine said i 'really vibed with iglooghost - i explored 13 of their songs, listened to 2 of their albums, and spent over 1 hours with them'!

What is Spotify's deal with Hendrix? He's my number 3 artist of the year, but I don't think I've listened to him at all.

how many minutes did y'all listen this year? i'm doubling even my most music-obsessed friends so i want to know that i'm not alone

943 new artists, 86 countries, 55k minutes... which is a new low apparently.

One factor that probably upset my data is falling asleep listening to an album or podcast that kept looping/going. I appreciate that the app seemed to get the idea eventually that I didn't want it to loop albums (i.e., it didn't keep going back to the default looping).

I liked that last year’s data showed you how many different music genres you listened to. This time it only shows you your top 5 music genres.
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Thursday, 5 December 2019 16:15 (four years ago) link
i listened to much fewer minutes than last year 58k compared to 79k... not entirely sure why. still, not bad but i really feel like i've slipped when it comes to listening to music in general for some reason.
Top non-soundtrack artists: Big Thief, Scott Walker, Autechre (no surprise there)87 different countries (wow!)
Someone called TPR who did an orchestral version of the Chrono Trigger soundtrack has been my top artist two years running, LOOOL

lol my kids annihilated my decade
congrats, Mark Mancina; your symphonic work on the Moana soundtrack kept them sleeping just long enough to think THIS night was the one where they wouldn't invade our bedroom
― brigadier pudding (DJP), Thursday, 5 December 2019 16:37 (four years ago) link
My kid annihilated my year and decade too, having a Premium family plan really makes these summaries kinda meaningless. According to my summary all I listen to is the Hamilton soundtrack, Marshmello, One Direction and "Flamingo" by Kero Kero Bonito.

I went through the embarrassment of not immediately recognizing my top artist of the decade lol. Klára Körmendi, thank you for your Satie.
― Le Bateau Ivre, Thursday, 5 December 2019 17:05 (four years ago) link
the majority of my top stuff is stuff my kids or wife listens to. LOL at my number 3 song being the Pink Panther theme by Henry Mancini, which my daughter was weirdly obsessed with for a while this summer.
Anyway, 1303 new artists, 86 countries, 51450 minutes
― silverfish, Thursday, 5 December 2019 17:19 (four years ago) link
2019 ain't nearly over yet, but:
844 new artists, 55 countries, 22534 minutes (a new peak, it's been about that level for each of the past 4 years but going up slightly year on year)
top 2019 artist completely skewed by the fact that I listened to nearly all of the Bobbie Gentry Girl from Chickasaw County box set once, one weekend
artist of the decade: Red Velvet (fair enough)
― Jeff W, Thursday, 5 December 2019 18:51 (four years ago) link
i got 90 countries and felt quite good about that

I made a pseudo-pan-African-pop/not-pop playlist for the rolling afro 2020 thread and lots of Afro-adjacent threads, generously defined - of course including the (South African) House of Sun-El and Amapiano threads. It’s already 108 tracks deep, so enjoy!

As a distraction from all this self-isolating I’ve started a mandala-like approach to making playlists. I made “A Playlist for Today” - roughly ten songs which I will delete and replace with roughly ten other songs every couple of days. First one is up and I’ll probably replace it with a new mix tomorrow:
https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5cgWPbrz6uBPlN9g846TZG?si=6UkzMIoRRFKOck3_ZCAsUg
As of today the track list is:
1. Sam Cooke: Lost and Lookin’2. Colleen: Push the Boat onto the Sand3. Harry Belafonte: Jamaica Farewell4. Palace: Gulf Shores5. Daniel Lanois: Space Love6. Delmore Brothers: Take Away this Lonesome Day7. Tony Caro & John: Waltz for a Spaniel8. Christopher Bissonnette: Color Deceives Continuously9. Terry Callier: Cotton Eyed Joe10. Les Paul & Mary Ford: Vaya Con Dios

So, one of my bars called 'Voodoo' has djs and live acts on the weekend, but we also have two revolving Spotify playlists + a huge, local files Itunes playlist. We use them on downtime and on weekdays. We use a 'day playlist' from 2pm - 7pm and a 'night playlist' from 7pm until 2am. I sometimes use theSE on house parties too, as they have a little bit of everything and work well as background music.
