I love end-of-year lists. One of these days, I’m going to make a site that aggregates them all into one end-of-year list to rule them all.
Top Artists
Total Number of Different Artists: 2,399
- Fontaines D.C. - My band and album of the year.
- The Libertines - Their latest album is so good.
- Tool - Probably (?) my all-time favorite band and the only ’90s band I still listen to regularly. Also, Adam Jones is my all-time favorite guitarist. I actually just got his guitar this week: the Adam Jones Les Paul Custom Art Collection: Frazetta “The Berserker”
Top Songs
Total Number of Different Songs: 4,913
- “Oh Shit” by The Libertines - 46 plays. Great song, and 46 seems low.
- “La Intención” by Christian Nodal & Peso Pluma - 40 plays. I like this song, but I feel like I’ve played other songs way more.
- “Midnight Butterflies” by Sea Girls - 39 plays. Love this song, but I don’t really listen to any other songs from them.
- “Supernatural” by Laura Jane Grace - 38 plays. I must have played this more. This is the singer from Against Me!.
- “Starburster” by Fontaines D.C. - 37 plays. No way this is right; I’ve played it a billion times. Song of the year.
Top Albums
Total Number of Different Albums: 451
- All Quiet on the Eastern Esplanade” by The Libertines - My second favorite album.
- Fear Inoculum” by Tool - This seems a little high.
- Romance” by Fontaines D.C. - Too low. Album of the year.
- Foregone” by In Flames - No way this is my 4th most listened-to album. Has to be a mistake.
- Definitely Maybe” by Oasis - No way this is top 5. My guess is it takes into account how many of the songs you listened to on an album, not how many times.
