      Jumping off this comment to suggest if you have an artist in your top 5 that isn't a mainstream pop star, consider buying an album or two from them for Christmas. It can be a gift from Santa to yourself, or you to someone special you think might dig it. Most artists have their own web shops, even if they are very very small, so buy directly if you can!

        Yeah, especially if someone is releasing an album on vinyl I try to do this. I know it can be cost prohibitive for artists to do this, but I believe it's actually become cheaper over the years, and I find it a pretty cool thing to have.

        (And I do unwrap and play all my records, but if you prefer to keep your collection sealed, that's cool too.)

          I do the same. It's a pretty banging deal! A sweet vinyl for the collection/turn table and a digital download for if Spotify implodes!

    My Spotify minutes are lower this year due to my commute shortening and my increasing reliance in offline media. I wonder what my "Songs on your iPod" wrapped might be?

    No "true" genre stats page for this wrapped? The AI slop sucks. Seems like this wrapped feels underwhelming for the hype there was.

    Either way here's my list. First wrapped where I had no "big" known artists, which is crazy cause I felt like something at least >1m listeners like Duster or charli xcx would be on my top 5, but neither appeared. I'm surprised Big Black even came here, like I don't think I played that much, no album was even on Spotify til May. Stats.fm say I have them at 20th, far below than the rest of the artists that I expected to be here. Confuses me, oh well

        Combination of working from home and also music being on in the background no matter what I'm doing. A big part as to why is probably because I have an audio interface for my home setup, so instead of pausing Spotify during a meeting for example, I'll just mute the channel. But I do listen to a ton of music, some of my friends have labeled me as a Spotify power user lol

          I saw the stage show and was like “YES, STICK IT TO THE MAN YOU RIGHTEOUS KIDS!”

          And then I saw the movie, which came out a decade after the Broadway show but used (most of) the original cast. Unfortunately, by that point, all of the actors (who were already playing below their actual ages at the time) looked like they were pushing 40.

          It completely changed the temperature of the story. The scampy kids in the story were now presented as full-grown adults. I ended up begrudgingly thinking that they should maybe be spending their time and money figuring out some stuff in their lives -- instead of just, you know, whine-singing about it?

          I think Rent hits different depending on how old you see the characters as, and, for me, the movie misses on that mark in a BIG way.

          I still love Rent though in all its forms and think that, even with its flaws, it can do no wrong. It was THE pivotal queer media (at a time when that was so much harder to come by). It also helped me along in my own queer story, so I'll forever be grateful to it.

            I never saw the movie and only saw the show when I was older, not sure why, possibly just because my sister was particularly into it and that was a turn off at the time (but also it wasn't ever done at the small town theater we saw most of our plays at).

            So I was out and queer by the time I saw it and ended up finding it at a point where I could see the things that didn't age as well. (I feel the same way about Rocky Horror. ) But then yeah idk that I felt like they were even sticking it to the man. But I was born a rule follower and the habit is hard to break.

    Top Artists:

    1. OG Keemo (German hip-hop/rap)
    2. Freddie Gibbs (American hip-hop/rap)
    3. Denzel Curry (-"-)
    4. JID (-"-)
    5. Madlib (-"-, albeit as a producer, not rapper; highly acclaimed collaborator of Freddie Gibbs)

    Top Songs:

    1. DROELOE – Bon Voyage (future bass? I guess?)
    2. Freddie Gibbs, Madlib – Bomb (feat. Raekwon) (Hip-hop/rap)
    3. Denzel Curry – ULTRASHXT (with Key Nyata) (Hip-hop/rap)
    4. Denzel Curry – Troubles - Cold Blooded Soul Version (Rap-turned-live-recording)
    5. Capella Grey "On The Radar" Freestyle (Rap for reminiscing an eventful summer I did not have)

    Minutes listened: 24,001 (≈1.1 hours per day on average)

    All 100 Top Songs playlist.


    I do wonder who my “#6” top artist would be though, since I’d count my listens of Madlib and Freddie Gibbs as one single artistic duo for the most part. Maybe Kendrick?

    I always find Wrapped’s stats to be a bit misfortunate to me, since I tend to listen to quite a lot of remixes, unofficial releases, old and/or obscure music (Bavarian Blues, anyone? How about the technically-best freestyle you’ll have ever heard?) which is not necessarily found on streaming services, mixtapes and the like, meaning all those listening hours and favorite artists and songs don’t show up in that final overview.

    In general, I listen to rap for the most part since I think clever lyricism is cool (but there can also be an appeal in song texts being “simple”), I really like discovering a new meaning or understanding a reference on the third (or higher) listen, especially on songs not performed/written in my first language. I genuinely think listening to rap when I was younger shaped my language skills to some, if not a substantial degree, and probably still does!

    That said, I also definitely don’t have anything against the occasional EDM song, DnB; or even That One Metalhead Friend’s playlist. I’m not particularly into exploring much new songs, though – I like knowing the lyrics already. :P

    The Shape of Things to Come has been my wakeup alarm since about 2005, that's the only reason it's my top play. Apparently I only played it long enough for it to count 40 times throughout the year though. I wonder how many of those repeats were during a single missed alarm...

    5. Sighommi - The Smashing Pumpkins

    Total Minutes Listened - 14,995

    My listen time is down drastically this year compared to the 50,000 I clocked last year! I listened to a ton of video game soundtracks while working at home last year, so Nobuo Uematsu and Yasunori Mitsuda were my most listened to artists then. I've mostly watched YouTube videos in the background while working this year rather than listen to music.

    My list doesn't surprise me this year though. Bring Me The Horizons newest album "Post Human: Nex Gen" is my album of the year this year, it's absolutely incredible in my opinion.

    The Pumpkins latest album "Aghori Mhori Mei" was a ton of fun this year. I'm a huge Pumpkins fan, they're my favourite band of all time, so it's nice to see they can still crack my top 5 even 18 years after I fell in love with them as a starry-eyed 16-year old.

    I've got tickets to go see Trivium in January do I've been listening to them a lot the past 4 or 5 months.

    I loved Bilmuri's album "American Motor Sports", some amazing music on there so I'm always happy to CRANK MY HOG TO BILMURI!

    Unfamiliar being in the list isn't a surprise either. Currents latest album "The Death We Seek" was my album of the year last year and Unfamiliar was my favourite song from the album. I still listen to it fairly regularly and I'm going to see Currents this Sunday so I've probably been spinning it more than usual over the past few weeks.

    The only one that caught me a little off guard was "Fade" by Alien Ant Farm. I loved the song and I know I listened to it a lot but I didn't think I listened to it that much.

    Aside from the general domination of my re-discovery of Cocteau Twins, the Piano Magic track was played on repeat during intros of my Book of Hours streams since it's so apropos. The TANUKI track is just a pumped up remix of a song by Kanako Wada. I discovered it through Beat Saber and it tickles my brain in nice ways.

    Are Apple Music scum allowed in the Spotify wrap(ped) party?

    Who cares, I’m crashing it anyway!


    Top Artists

    1. Taylor Swift

    No surprise here. Her double album got a good amount of spins, and I have so many singles of hers on my favorites playlist that she accumulates a lot of playtime.

    1. Jorge Rivera-Herrans

    The man behind EPIC, a musical retelling of The Odyssey. He’s releasing the whole musical over time in four song EPs. It’s great stuff.

    1. Vienna Teng

    My all-time favorite artist. My husband and I took a small vacation to see her perform live this past year and it was truly magical.

    1. Lights

    Probably the most underappreciated pop artist out there. She’s all talent, with so many good songs it’s unfair.

    1. Kylie Minogue

    Tension got a lot of play from me, and, like Taylor, I have so many singles of hers on my favorites list that she ends up here almost by default.


    Top Songs

    1. “Ruthlessness” - Jorge Rivera-Herrans

    Poseidon confronts Odysseus about blinding Poseidon’s son, Polyphemus. The singer who plays Poseidon is so, SO good.

    1. “Cold Reactor” - Everything Everything (I see you, @Johz)

    I love everything about this song. The vibe, the stairstep melody of the chorus, the schlocky-yet-resonant lyrics.

    I sent you the image of a little yellow face
    To tell you that I’m sad about the emptiness that’s all around me

    1. “Perception Check” - Tom Cardy

    A novelty song has no right to be this much of a banger.

    1. “Femininomenon” - Chappell Roan

    There was a brief period of time this year where every queer or queer-adjacent group chat I was in was nothing but nonstop Chappell Roan memes, and it was glorious.

    1. “In My Bones” - Dagny

    An excellent closer to Dagny’s excellent album ELLE. I love the production on this track.

      If you like that intersection of indie rock, dance, and pop, have you listened much to Findlay? I found her album Last of the 20th Century Girls this year, and it's a glorious mix of bounce and fun - lots of dance-y rhythmic movement and some great lyrics.

    I discovered Random Rules by Silver Jews through the playlist, and that song made it to number 5. Honestly surprised they as a band didn't make my top 5 at this point, because I have had them in high rotation for the past couple of months.

    2. Gorjira (do I need to explain who these guys are besides the whale band)
    3. Orbit Culture (Swedish Melo-Death band)
    4. Crossfaith (Japanese metal core band that injects electronic music in their songs)
    5. We Came as Romans (American Metalcore band that I really have no idea why they are in my top 5, literally just one song from them because it was in a generated playlist that I listen to)

    For what ever reason my minutes for this year is vastly less than the other years. My minutes this year is 3,903. I think I know why my minutes is so low, is that I had listened to more audio books than the other years

    Top Songs

    1. Zero - Crossfaith
    2. Kingslayer - Bring Me the Horizon
    3. Darkbloom - We Came as Romans (this is the song that I was too lazy to skip and not that great of a song, considering that there are essentially two versions of the song, one that is with Band of Sacrifice which is the single version and then there is the album version which is just them)

        They are a French technical death metal band from a small French border village on the French-Spanish Border (and yes that is the old name for Godzilla) that got memed about because of From Sirius to Mars, more so with Flying Whales. But this not my favorite song from them, it would be the Art of Dying off of their the Way of All Flesh album.

        They typically sing about environmental issues, because one of the Duplantier brothers swam in polluted waters and got sick because of that. And with one of their last singles, Amazonia, they ran a fund raising campaign for the ingenious peoples of the Amazon to help them with legal challenges against the deforestation of the rain forest. In recent times they are the band that performed during the Summer Olympics opening ceremony.

        And Mario Duplantier, the drummer, is considered to be one of the best metal drummers right now.

    Top 5 Songs:

    • "Banquet" by Bloc Party
    • "Woke Up New" by The Mountain Goats
      • The epitome of John's "upbeat song laced with sorrow" style, which is always a favorite!
    • "I Will Always Love You" by Dolly Parton
      • So I'd somehow never heard the original until this year. I didn't even realize Whitney Houston's version was a cover. I fucking love Dolly Parton's version. Admittedly I never paid the song much attention, but Whitney's always felt very deterministic and confident. But Dolly's is just so...like she's lamenting that she's going to feel that way. Pairs nicely with Jolene.
    • "It's A Sin To Tell A Lie" by The Inkspots
      • I really love Fallout, okay?

    • Gorillaz
      • Kind of the same as blink. I don't actually seek them out, but they always show up.
    • Rush
      • Most of which is listening to 2112 in its entirety
    • The Smashing Pumpkins
      • Most of which is probably "Mayonaise" because I saw a tiktok that depicted the guitar noise in it as a burst of air hitting you in the face. Which just made it the perfect car song...and I may or may not bump the audio up a little to catch the air burst a bit ;)

    Top 5 Songs:

    1. Gnossienne No. 1 by Erik Satie
    • I have no idea how this song ended up as my number 1 other than maybe I was zoning out working to it on repeat for a full day. It's tucked into a playlist I listen to pretty frequently but it's definitely not one I often search for specifically. Weird.
    1. Pictures of You by Drugdealer / Kate Bollinger
    • This makes sense. This song has been on heavy rotation this year. Drugdealer's Madison from the same album is also a banger. What am I saying the whole album is awesome.
    1. I Can Change by LCD Soundsystem
    • My partner and I took a break this year, it played on heaaaavy rotation during that period.
    1. Yards / Gardens by Kate Bollinger
    • I still have yet to find a song from Kate Bollinger that I don't like.
    1. Murder On The Dancefloor by Sophie Ellis Baxter
    • Woof, I got into the summer hit with this one. I think it got revived thanks to Saltburn, and I'm so happy it did. Even if the movie itself was a bit odd.

    Top Artists

    1. Kate Bollinger
    • So easy as a number 1. I love every one of her albums and collaborations.
    1. Ratatat
    • This also makes sense, they are my "I need to hyperfocus on work" music. Has been that way since 2008.
    1. Erik Satie
    • Again, it's weird and all I can assume is that I rocked him on 100% repeat one or two days this year. Great music but, yeah, still odd.
    1. Drugdealer
    • He can absolutely thank Kate Bollinger for this but he is awesome on his own merits as well. That said he was a bit of a self aggrandizing dickhead when we saw him in concert. Amazing music and collaborations though.

    • 90s-early 00s music is like comfort food for me. If it wasn't them it would be Sugar Ray, Len, Weatus, or one of the other bands form that era. They are the best of the best though.

    This may also be my first year without Ty Segall, which is odd and slightly melancholy to see.

    Notes

    • I managed to catch my top two artists live this year, each for the first time. Plenty of listening pre- and post-gig.
    • I was reading Mick Wall's excellent Guns N' Roses biography, Last of the Giants, during the summer, hence, the unusually high numbers for GnR.
      -- Appetite for Destruction is a serious contender for greatest debut album of all time.
    • Top tracks 4 and 5 are really parts of one long track. Assuming the first part is in the no. 6 spot, I am curious what came in after it.
    • Last.fm was largely the same for artists with 1 and 2 being swapped, and the Grateful Dead taking third place (very recent bias there).
    • This year I've been making a more conscious effort to support bands in general by buying music during Bandcamp Fridays and picking up merch when I can at gigs. Spotify is mainly a convenience thing for me these days.

    Top Artists:

    1. Glass Animals (top 0.05%!)

    I've been a fan of them since the Zaba days, so it's real cool to see how big they've gotten since. I also saw them live this year!

    1. Goth Babe

    Discovered him this year! Very "interesting" music if that makes sense, wide variety of vibes but all generally good.

    1. Tame Impala

    Who doesn't like Tame Impala. Bigger fan of his earlier stuff though.

    1. ODESZA

    One of my favorite EDM acts, next to...

    1. Flume

    Still have yet to see him live, but I'm also a fan since his self-titled days! Fun to see him grow as well.


    Top Songs:

    1. Santa Fe - DEVOTED (top 0.001%!)

    What a good song! Makes me feel like I'm driving home through the American Southwest, I suppose that's a good thing given the song is about Santa Fe, New Mexico.

    1. waves (Tame Impala remix) - miguel

    Just a good song to listen to in the car if that makes sense. Good driving music but also good party music. What's not to love?

    1. Lovers Rock - TV Girl

    Ok look, I went through a breakup and TV Girl kept me going, but especially this song.

    1. Weekend Friend - Goth Babe

    Only song on my top 5 songs by one of my Top 5 artists. Isn't that fun? Anyway, really nice vibe for this song. Feels like I'm on a beach.

    1. Pink Skies (Demo) - Wiley from Atlanta

    Super sad that this seems to be a "one-good-song" artist, but damn is that song good.


    "Raw" Stats:

    103,262 minutes listened (top 1%!)

    6,721 songs from 4,041 artists.

    April was "Vlog Shred Future Bass", July was "Boujee Clean Rap Hip Hop" (?), and September was "Van Life Beach Indie Chill"

      I'll go to my grave arguing for the early eps and Innerspeaker. I love Tame Impala and I love Pond, but sometimes Tame Impala is a little too tame and Pond is a little too...pondy? Innerspeaker hit the sweet spot between the two.

    3. Fading Memories

    5. Itch_ˈnʌθɪŋ_

    All the top songs are from the Bilo IV album by David Maxim Micic. I usually only listen to full albums at a time, so every year my top 5 songs are usually all from the same album. I listened to Bilo IV so much this year as I love listening to it while I make sourdough which I have been doing on a weekly basis.

    34,810 minutes across 280 artists. 2092 songs puts my average song length at 16.63 minutes which seems incorrect. Even if I remove 5000 minutes of podcasts that doesn't bring it down to a reasonable level. I do listen to a lot of 10+ minute songs but definitely not the majority.

    I don't understand the value proposition for Spotify.

    For the same price you can get Youtube Music, which includes Youtube Premium. If you watch any Youtube at all that is a big value addition. The catalogue, the discoverability, the UI etc. are all at least on par with Spotify. (It's been a few years since I've used Spotify but I'd argue the YT Music discoverability is better than Spotify was a few years ago). There are also tools to import all your likes and playlists.

      In my case, it's a mixture of:

      • hating google with a burning passion and not wanting to give them any of my money on a subscription,
      • most of my niche music is on Spotify but not on youtube music (the only case where that's the opposite is Evanescence's "Origin"),
      • subjectively better music suggestion algorithms for my use case (I've found youtube music's one to be horrible for me),
      • subjectively better UI (I find youtube's ui to be really clunky)
      • preferring to give money to a company that has never made a profit (until this year) vs google

      I watch youtube via newpipe anyway, so it's not a big deal not having youtube premium.

      Video YouTube and YouTube Music are the same thing, which means my playlists are shared between them. That's awful. I wouldn't mind YouTube Music if it was separated from regular YouTube, but it's not, so it's just a video player that calls itself a music player.

        This is actually a bonus for me since a lot of the new music I "discovered" comes from YouTube, be it music critics or random video recommendations, making it easier to just add the songs to a playlist. It also influences my algorithm in a more natural way.

        But it's true that sometimes YouTube is a bit dumb recognizing what I would want to listen on my phone, like when it added and downloaded a whole tiny desk concert. I may be wrong but I think it's getting better with that stuff though.

        Hmm, not sure that's correct.

        I'm not a heavy Youtube playlist user but from what I can tell my music playlists show up in Youtube as well but they're not videos just songs with the album art as the 'video'. I don't see any of my video playlists in Youtube Music.

        For my use case it's perfect but I don't have any Youtube playlists I really use besides "watch later" and "liked" videos. But if you're a heavy cataloguer of videos I can see how polluting the playlists section could annoy you.

    5. Under Heaven Over Hell - Florence + The Machine

    Total time
    24,617 minutes

    Not too surprising. "Florida!!!" is a collab between Florence Welch and Taylor Swift, two of my favorite artists. I have a playlist called "Uhoh Tortured Poets" that is Under Heaven/Over Hell and The Tortured Poets Society, and it got a lot of air this year.

    Meg Myers' work is excellent all the way down her catalogue, though TZIA, her most recent album, is very different.

    Dead Sara is similarly excellent. I can put just about any of it on and enjoy it.

    Josh Ritter is a bit of an outlier here, but Sermon on the Rocks is a delightful deconstruction anthem, headlined by "Getting Ready to Get Down". TS's "But Daddy I Love Him" is another good one in this vein.

    I had to truncate the top songs because the reported #1 is "White Rabbit" by Jefferson Airplane that I use for my alarm. I have a separate recording I need to set up as the alarm so it doesn't skew my stats.

    2. Björk (art pop)
    3. Death Grips (industrial hip hop)
    4. Sun City Girls (experimental rock/avant-folk)
    5. Auktyon (Russian post-punk)

    I'm surprised Cocteau Twins aren't on here because I listened to them a lot in November. Perhaps they didn't make the cutoff for Spotify Wrapped.

    Outside of Spotify, I listened to a lot of Big Blood. Most of their music isn't on Spotify, but if it were, they would be my #1 for sure.

    Songs:

    1. ABBA - Eagle - Long Version (5 listens!)
    2. The Exploding Budgies - Thornfield
    3. Tessa Ia - Superestrella de la botella
    4. Victor Xamã - Vigésimo andar
    5. 13th Ward Social Club - Il nero a colori

    Since the beginning of this year, there has been a huge change in the way I listen to music. Nowadays, most of my music listening involves discovering music I have never heard before, so I rarely get the chance to give songs multiple listens. Apart from Eagle, my top 5 basically looks random to me (you'll notice none of my top songs are by my top artists). I wonder how Spotify picked my top 5.

    • 풍년 by 국립국원

    Overall a pretty accurate list of the random stuff I listen to. I'll be honest, I was a bit surprised 풍년 made it on here. For anyone wondering, it's the song that plays on the Seoul subway in the trains before they make an announcement about what other services you can transfer to. I know it sounds weird but it's just such a catchy track. I imagine part of the reason why it showed up on my top 5 is that the track on YouTube Music is 1 minute long and I'd just have it on loop. I'm usually a big Kendrick Lamar fan and I usually listen to a lot of his music but I guess this year I ventured away from his stuff.

    Also, Spotify Wrapped lost a lot of its luster after I signed up for stats.fm. Stats gave me all of this info and a whole lot more. You can see your all-time songs/artists/streams/etc. or go year by year and sift through all of the info that Spotify has on your listening habits. Worth the ~8 bucks or whatever it was.

        Yeah, there's some weird voodoo in both of them when it comes to the artist. I don't know if it values streams, minutes, or some other factor. I like that stats.fm can show you the full year, though. It's kind of weird how Spotify just ignores the last six weeks of the year. That Frog album that I had on repeat came out on November 17, 2023 so none of it showed up on my wrapped last year. When I check the info for all of 2023 on stats.fm, my top three songs are from that album.

        I don't get why we burn up all of the year in review content in early-mid December. It'd be nice to have all that as a treat after the holidays are over.

          I've always agreed, but you may have just answered it. Tons of people will have Christmas music on repeat for 1-2 months. This way, that isn't their top music every single year.
