It’s December, which means it’s Spotify Wrapped time.<\/p>\n

What does Spotify think I’ve listened to this year?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Spotify’s definition of a genre feels almost ludicrously granular, so not sure what it means to listen to hundreds<\/em> of different genres, but there you go.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

No idea what a listening age means… are they saying that my musical tastes stopped developing in my twenties? That doesn’t sound like a compliment. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I would’ve guessed that I listened to more than this.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I’m surprised my number of albums is that high… and I suspect it’s more accidental than intentional. I rarely listen to an album as an album or ordered as the artist intended. Shuffle and algorithmically generated discovery playlists means I mostly listen to individual songs.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Looks like I’m not super “loyal” to individual artists!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Surprised this was my top artist on Spotify – I thought I listened to their music more on YouTube than Spotify.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I think Billy Talent was my top artist last year, so they dropped a couple places this year! \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n

The overall summary:<\/p>\n

These are new this year… generative AI summaries of individual days:<\/p>\n

These year-in-review reports are often not available for long beyond Christmas, so I thought I’d make a copy somewhere safe. Here seemed like as good a place as any! I’ll tag them all with 2025-year-in-review<\/a> as I get them.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
