I am not the biggest fan of
#Spotify (never was) due to many reasons. But one thing I never can get enough of are statistics, and I really like the way they do the yearly wrap-up, which I always shared on social media, and I won't stop today, so here it is :)
Bear in mind though, that I am a collector of physical media - most of my music consumption happens on CD (which I rip to
#opus [much supperior to
#mp3]) on my PC, or on
#Vinyl; however for spontaneous on-the-go listens, for listening to music I don't (yet) own, or to explore new music, I still don't know any better service.
I found it interesting that spotify thinks that I have listened to 238 different music genres which is why it has dificulties figuring out my taste. I know that I have a broad taste and that I am unconventional. But I could hardly list more than 20 genres, tbh.
Having
#LinkinPark back in my top lists is no surprise to me - I took a brake from them after Chester died, and only returned to listenint to them with
#EmilyArmstrong joining them, but both, the new-ish direction as well as the new voice are absolutely perfect and especially
#GoodThingsGo is one of my absolute favorite songs that speaks to me on so many levels. I was surprised about
#9pm by
#ATB and
#DonnieDarko from
#LetsEatGrandma, though. I would have put the later on no. 4, and
#LoveGoesOnAndOn on no. 2.
Albums are no surprise at all; Both,
#Wardruna and
#Danheim were new discoveries, and especially Danheim was harder to get on Vinyl so there were a lot of Spotify plays on those albums. And after seeing the series "Wu-Tang: An American Saga", I rediscovered my love for them. I only owned that initial album (that I really loved) on MP3 as a kid, and I still didn't get around buying it (I probably should), so that explains all the listens :)
So how about you, anyone else likes to share their statistics? Or did you already?
