spiraliciousThis year is only my second Spotify Wrapped and this year actually had a lot of surprises for me. Part of this was I spent a couple months not using Spotify to listen to music at all and was only listening to music on YouTube, and I listened to slightly different stuff there, so while it was part of music I listened to this year in my mind, it wasn't included in this. I'm going to add songs that were on my regular rotation on YouTube to my main Spotify playlist. (Yes, I know YouTube is doing their own version of Wrapped this year and I am ignoring it.)
With that in mind, the number of genres, songs, and artists listened to are accurate to Spotify, they are not accurate to my overall listening.
According to Wrapped, I listened to 10 genres, which would probably be more if all the music I listened to had been included, but was not surprising. My top five genres were also not a surprise.
My top songs section shocked me. I would have never guessed my top song in a million years. I knew I had listened to it a lot, but I didn't think it had even cracked my top ten, let alone the number one spot. Out of the top five, two songs are by Fall Out Boy, which is only surprising in that I would have assumed more were on there. My number three song being by All Time Low is also not surprising, as I listened to them a lot this year, but the song itself was, because it is my least favorite of the songs by them on my playlist. I have no idea how Forever the Sickest Kids made my top five songs and artists. I like literally one song by them, but also Spotify feeds them too me a lot as suggested listening when I can't skip. I just didn't think it was that much.
My top five artists surprised me a little bit, only in that I didn't realize I had listened to NATI. enough for her to break into the top five, which is actually kind of cool. She deserves more love.
The biggest surprise though was at the end, they included a podcast stat for me. They only told me my top listened to podcast (I listen to quite a few, but irregularly), which was a frightening number of minutes listened to (I forgot to write down the number). Then there was the follow up info that I was in the top 11% of listeners, and that gave me a lot of mixed feelings. Part of the reason for that is it's an erotica podcast that I am intentionally not naming. I obviously listen to it a lot, but it's not one that I think to recommend to people because a) no one I know who would be asking me for recs, would also be into this one, and b) the reason I listen to it so much is not because it's my favorite or I love it, it's because its consistent, in both quality and posting schedule. It's fairly reliable when pretty much all the other ones I enjoy more are not - either their posting schedules are wild and erratic or the quality is all over place, or in a couple cases, both. I kinda wish I was more into it.
