I absolutely died when I got to my top five bands.

First four were as I predicted. Twenty One Pilots (judge away), Hozier, Billie Eilish, Elton John.

But the thing is, back in February, I was suddenly overcome with a desire to listen to a certain kind of rock, and for three weeks I played this playlist over and over (and then never again).

But fuck me, number five is fucking Foreigner.

There is literally no redemption for that.

Trying to think of why your top five is a top three.

Maybe you only listened to three songs all year?

But the mystery continues because your top three songs are R.E.M. and Motley Crue.

I dunno, man.

I've let her down this year on spotify - been listening to too much physical stuff.



I'll make it up to her in 25.

Notes:

Despite making an effort to spend less time playing music mindlessly in the background, I have listened to 2000 more minutes than in 2023. Still much less than the 60000 I had in 2022. I'm more interested in last.fm's statistics though; Spotify says my biggest listening day was June 10, but according to last.fm, that day had the 8th most songs played (only 139 songs that, October 4 was the #1 with 202 songs). Unsurprisingly, all of the top 10+ were days I embarked on a 12+ hour road trip.

The 2112 songs was a cool coincidence, although I did not listen to particularly much Rush this year.

My top five songs weren't really a surprise. According to last.fm, several more songs were tied for #3, 4, and 5, each having 17 plays this year. I have really enjoyed the Police and Chicago tracks. The Wobbler tracks are fine, I listened to them a lot in June, and they probably came up in shuffle slightly more than other tracks as well. Serenade For 1652 is like a 50 second intro bit of fluff, not exactly a song I was just rockin out to over and over. Rubato Industry is actually a pretty neat track, but I wouldn't say it's in my top five new discoveries this year either. I didn't discover Questions 67 and 68 this year, but it was the song that got me into Chicago and remains by far my favorite song from the band.

I feel like I didn't really listen to more U2 than usual in February, no clue what that's about.

I'm slightly surprised that Chicago is my top artist because I only started listening to them in August. But, earlier in the summer I began to focus on bands with smaller discographies, whereas I spent two months focused primarily on Chicago's first nine studio albums. The Police is not a surprise at all. Soft Machine was what I spent July mostly listening to and trying to like, but I never really 'got' them. They, like Chicago, have parts of their discography divided into very shorts tracks rather than longer suites, which might affect how Spotify tracks things. I enjoyed Chicago and The Police a lot more than Soft Machine though. I can't believe Jethro Tull still made my top five for the fourth year in a row. I suppose I was listening to a lot of their non-album material earlier in the year. Steely Dan is also sort of strange because I only began listening to them in October. I guess bands with larger discographies move to the top more easily because it takes longer to get tired of them?
