I spent 20381 minutes listening to Spotify last year and my ears are busiest on Wednesday with 2 hours average listening time on that day.

I thought it's a pretty cool summary of my music and no real surprises. Clearly, K West= Hot eton mess.

Post your results in the thread. What did you think of it ? Any big surprises ?

I mainly use Spotify to sample music I don't own so I don't know how representative this will be.
Top 3 genres are indie rock, indie pop and alternative rock so no surprises there, but I've got noise pop and ambient rounding out the top 5 so that's a bit more interesting I guess.

Top 5 artists:
Broken Social Scene
The National
Brian Eno
Vashti Bunyan
Fennesz

Top 5 albums:
The National - Alligator
Broken Social Scene - Broken Social Scene
Fennesz - Bécs
Vashti Bunyan - Just Another Diamond Day
Swan Lake - Beast Moans

Top 10 tracks:
Fennesz - Bécs
Vashti Bunyan - Diamond Day
The National - Mr. November
Vashti Bunyan - Train Song
Parquet Courts - Into The Garden
Fennesz - Liminality
Broken Social Scene - It's All Gonna Break
The National - Lit Up
Talk Talk - Time It's Time
Beirut - Scenic World (Version)

I have no favourite artist for the winter for some reason. Spring favourite was Broken Social Scene. Summer favourite was Adult Jazz. Autumn favourite was Swan Lake.
Sunday is my busiest day with an average of 0.9 hours a day. I've listened to 8117 minutes of music with spotify.

I'm a little surprised East India Youth and Adult Jazz didn't feature more heavily

Cider Sky
Chvrches

Top 5 albums:
Flames (The Mixes) - Cider Sky
Safe and Sound - Capital Cities
The News From Nowhere - The Hoosiers
Falling - Discopolis

My top 10 tracks are more or less the same, but with inclusions from Y.O.U. and The Kooks and Joywave. It seems that I've been very consistent with who I've listened to throughout the entire year.

Probably not all that representative since I mostly use iTunes and YouTube, but...

[Rachel]

looking at this, it's not accurate at all since i use itunes much more and tend to only use spotify for albums i just want to give a go, not albums i already like

also the picture thing wont load for me so i guess im typing these out

You know why Oath, let's not lie.

It's because it's the pinnacle of modern music.

[Cazwegian]

My top songs (4-10) seem a bit off though , especially as everything scrobbles to last.fm and the order and songs are slightly different.




Also, swap Off the Wall for Maxwell's Urban Hang Suite and put it at number 1 and that's the top albums sorted.

Winter: Stevie Wonder
Spring: Bob Marley & The Wailers
Summer: Gregory Porter
Autumn: John Legend

My ears are busiest on a Sunday, averaging 4 hours.
