Spotify Unwrapped 2021: the shame and the sorrow..

[Spandex]

My number one song has to be a mistake or a pocket dial or something. I swear I only listened to it once.

But what is this song that you had on repeat when you were too drunk to remember?

 

[Voley]

Top moods are 'sombre' and 'bravado', which tracks

Mate of mine has 'wistful' and 'focused'. Presumably not simultaneously.

 

[Carvaged]

Mine doesn't list anything by numbers, and I can only see top songs, of which I have hundreds in a long scrolling list. And one of the songs is "Knowing me, Knowing you" by ABBA, which I know I haven't listened to in years.

I'm happy and confused.

 

[A380]

Hmm, Ms 747 still uses my log on - despite having the family version. My top five consisted of four I’ve never heard of! Humbug.

 

[wtfftw]

My 4 year old mainly gets control of the airspace round here.

 

[souljacker]

I don't have a spotify because I'm a grown up.

Ok boomer

 

[Voley]

I'm happy and confused.

Story of my life.

 

[killer b]

Ok boomer

Boomers IME have embraced spotify, disdain for streaming services is strongest in Gen X

 

[Voley]

I'm happy and innovative, apparently.

It’s ok but?

 

[Monkeygrinder's Organ]

Mine are 'happy' and 'uplifting'. This is very much due to having to find mutually acceptable stuff for the kitchen - left to my own devices I think it would be more 'aggressive' and 'miserable.'

 

[Glitter]

I can’t make mine all fancy like that. It literally just gives me a list rather than top 10, what am I doing wrong?

 

[Clair De Lune]

Apparently I listened to 999 artists.

My main moods are focused and melancholy.

Post punk forever

 

[Smokeandsteam]

Slightly skewed by a personal mission to create a better Manics best of than official one, plus repeated plays of This Is Yesterday to learn the guitar parts.

Ditto pal. I’ve listened to them more than 99.5% of everyone else, and that’s not including vinyl and CD plays. The obsession is deep.

Fistbump for you

 

[Voley]

This sounds about right for me, although New Wave covers a multitude of sins so I'm not entirely sure about that.

 

[Johnny Vodka]

Jane Weaver the only remotely modern person on my list too Hollis. Unless you count Radiohead, which is pushing it a bit imo.

Radiohead still make music, don't they?

 

[Voley]

Well yeah but they've been around a bit. Mind you so has Jane Weaver thinking about it. I only got into her this year.

 

[Brainaddict]

There's some dodgy stats on mine because there's a few songs that I probably accidentally play a lot for a few seconds because they're first track in playlists that have thousands of tracks in them and that I often switch to. The clearest result that is true from it is that I listened to KOMPROMAT by I LIKE TRAINS a lot this year. I recommend you do the same, but only if you like that type of thing.

Ed Sheeran has been around for a much shorter time than Radiohead. Not sure that makes him more relevant or important! I still regard the head and many of the solo projects of the various members as a vital part of modern music.

 

[Saffy]

Mine is a mixture of mine and my husband's and so basically 90's with a heavy dose of musical soundtracks.

Fair enough. Due something new from them next year I'd hope? I liked the Kid A Amnesiac reissue. Some lovely stuff on that.

 

[nogojones]

I don't think mine is particularly telling as I don't really use spotify for music and the top song only got played twice.

Bit surprised by Britpop on there tbh but there might be a Twitter listening party or two that skewed that.

 

[marty21]

I guess I did play a lot of Wolf Alice this year.

Spotify just invested 100 million in a defence company, I hope you are happy...warmongers!

Anyway, here's mine:

My other half is prone to euphoric nostalgia according to Spotify.

Put your hands in the air and make some noise!

That type of 1991 euphoric nostalgia?

Exactly that, yep.
