I primarily listen to music via Spotify (even when I own the music), but this year I trialled Apple Music for a bit as well. That meant that my Spotify Wrapped wasn’t quite right. Thanks to Last.fm (which just turned 20), I’ve compiled my own version.
I listened to 431 different artists, 672 different albums, and 2089 different songs for a total of 4471 plays, down 33% from last year.
I’ve ordered my most-played lists by playtime. I think is the same way that Spotify orders their lists, and probably a better weighting than pure track plays. A big thanks to Patrick McDonough’s last.timer tool for helping me to easily compile these lists. Time shown is in hours.
