[IAtaman]

According to Spotify, I listened to 3704 different songs this year.

Fast Car at no 5 - guess who has been doing a lot of listening tests

 

[IAtaman]

Top 0.5% fan. I guess that means I need to buy his vinyls?

 

[eddantes]

I gues this was the year of Stop Light Observations for me.

 

[popej]

I listen to albums, not to songs. Spotify noticed and made a comment: "You like to play albums all the way through, from opening track to the final note". Then they mixed my favorites albums into a playlist. Looking at it makes me feel bad

 

[Times]

My top five might be the strangest mix of music in the history of top fives...

 

[eddantes]

So far ... I recognize one song - Fast Cars. Am I the "basic bitch" of Spotify?

 

[VMAT4]

My top artists:

I recognize Paper Trails from your list. It is a fine song. Plus, as far as I am concerned, the point of this is to discover new music, so if all is new to you, you got the best out of this

 

[pavuol]

it says 47 genres, 2037 artists, 2666 songs... and it concludes I am "Vampire" type of music fan, what was yours?

 

[eddantes]

Familliar with 4; listen to 1 (Lana Del Rey)

 

[eddantes]

Familliar with 2; listen to 0 (Flowers is an OK tune, but I wouldn't add it to a play list)

 

[eddantes]

Familliar with 1; listen to 0 (I went through Starboy once; meh it was ok)
