![]() Also, seeing these tracks in this playlist makes me realize that I need to start listening to some of these songs again because they obviously made me happy. I think it is looking at these stats is pretty rad because I like to try to remember why I had started listening to neo-funk music so much. Some artists that I seemed to really listen to a lot in 2016 were Cherub, GriZ, and Daft Punk. I seemed to get really into alternative funk and EDM funk at this time. I do know that at this period in my life, I had moved to Downtown Milwaukee and cut off quite a few people in my life that I had felt were dragging me down, and I subconsciously stopped listening to so much party and druggie type music. If you check the playlist that was considered to be my top songs of 2016, you can tell that the music that I listened to started to change up and diversify. From 2014-2016 my top artist was Schoolboy Q if the top song was not by him, it was definitely by a similar artist to him. I would say that is, even more, the case for the kind of music that I really go into for the next few years. I am a pretty big believer of that idea that the types of people you are surrounding yourself with will have a big influence on what you listen to and the types of media you consume, and that was definitely the case when I was on that ADTR binge. In fact, my top artist from 2013 was the screamo-punk band A Day To Remember, and my top played song from that year was ‘You Be Tails, I Be Sonic’ by A Day To Remember. I started out my time on Spotify at the tail end of high school and my emo phase, as is pretty evident from my Spotify Wrapped stats. If you have been paying attention to this blog for a while, you should know about how much music I find just from going on little Youtube rabbit holes. I believe this is because I have been trying to use SoundCloud and Youtube more to discover new music. ![]() Ironically, the year that I used Spotify the least was this year, the same year that I started a music blog. I started mostly using Spotify to consume music in 2013, and I have listened to at least 25,000 minutes of music every year on the app since then. Let me know what your favorite songs, artists, and genres were in the comments below because I am genuinely interested one what everyone listens to! With all of that being said, let’s dive into my Spotify Wrapped Stats. It is obvious from the playlist I don’t mainly listen to a few different kinds of artists and sounds. It was also cool to see how mu h international music and different types of artists I listened to my 2019 playlist(which I will link at the bottom of the article) is actually pretty rad in fact that it is so random and non-typical. In fact, I was kind of surprised at how close my percentages were in the tab that shows my favorite genres. Over the last few years, particularly in 20, my music choice has truly spread out and diversified a ton. ![]() It is almost astonishing how similar my most listened to artists were for that time period I have always prided myself as being someone who listens to everything and I’m sure I was keeping it diverse on some level, but, man, the music I was listening to the most at the time is probably too indicative of my lifestyle at the time. For the most part from 2014-2016, I mainly was listening to hard ass trap and party/druggy EDM music exclusively. It is very interesting to thoroughly go through and see what kind of music I liked at certain times in my life. Ok, now it’s time for me to be narcissistic and assume that y’all think my own Spotify Wrapped Stats would be important. Streaming stats are probably the best way for us to see what music the world likes. It’s honestly kind of sad that so many artists and people put so much weight in award shows like the Grammys, because these shows are funded by the same companies that own the biggest and most corrupt music labels, and therefore will always be biased. I mean obviously there are quite a few people who exclusively use Apple Music and because of this their streaming stats aren’t calculated(I would guess that about half of streamers mainly use Spotify and half mainly use Apple Music), I still think that Spotify’s Wrapped Stats gives us a pretty solid idea of what the most popular music in the world is for any particular year. ![]() I honestly think this is a very underrated tool to honestly see what the most popular music in the world is today. One of the best things about using Spotify is getting to access the rewind feature at the end of each year. ![]()
