Spotify Wrapped

Mine was a bit skewed this year. I always try and listen to new music to justify paying for a music service, but this means anything I do like that I put on a few times goes straight into my top 5. Because even my favourite artists I'm not going back and listening to them again and again.

Consequently:

Top Artists
1. Rise Against (same as last year)
2. Paramore
3. Funeral for a Friend
4. Avenged Sevenfold
5. My Chemical Romance

I did really get into Paramore this year so that's fair, but for FFaF I just had a 3 week period where I listened to all their stuff, and the same for Avenged and MCR - for all three of those there was one album from each that I really liked and probably listened to 4 or 5 times and that was enough to put them in my top 5!

Next year I won't have a Spotify Wrapped since I've now moved to YouTube Music instead. But I guess they'll have their own version of it.
 
Is it a bad sign that my Wrapped Listening age (21) is 35 years out?

My top 5 were:-
Tremonti
Poppy
Alter Bridge
Within Temptation
Pink

My top 5 singles are heavily skewed towards songs that I have to learn for the cover band I'm in, as I play along with them through Spotify
 
Spotify has my listening age as 48, just a year out which is pretty impressive. Although my top artists might give them a clue;

1. Spektre
2. Nosferatu
3. Clap Codex
4. Predator
5. Pink Floyd

4 of my top 5 tracks were 90's hardcore so it maybe gave the game away.
 
I use Deezer to stream and for this year my top 6 streamed are:

1. Depeche Mode
2. Genesis
3. Pet Shop Boys
4. The Stranglers
5. Status Quo
6. The Warning
 
Listening age 46 - I'm 55

Top Songs
Higher Love, Kygo, Whitney Houston
All My Friends, LCD Soundsysyem
A-Punk, Vampire Weekend
Stargazing, Kygo, Justi Jesso
Firestone, Kygo, Conrad Sewell.

Amazed Kids by MGMT isn't in there, and also special mention to Hands of Time by Groove Armada, I could listen to that on loop for a loooong time
 
Artists
1. Talking Heads
2, The Stranglers
3. Cat Stevens
4. Green Day
5. ZZ Top

Albums
1. Tres Hombres - ZZ Top
2. Infinity on High - Fall Out Boy
3. Walk Through Fire - Yola
4. The Raven - The Stranglers
5. Skull Wars - The Pirates

All a bit biased though, as I nearly always have it on random play. So it's only telling me what it itself picked for me.

Some of the stories of the year are quite funny to read... Looks like I had a Floyd day before watching the aussie Floyd in Edinburgh... Ahh good times..
