if I listen to something a bunch in December will it impact the 2020 chart

Dee Dee Bridgewater's first lp was reissued by Mr BOngo 2 or 3 months ago. Wouldn't have anything to do with taht would it?Also i think BGO put out a 2cd of about 4 of her later lps a little earlier

It's mystifying. She's huge in France, and my wife's French, so I feel like it's got to be her fault somehow. Dunno!

Stolen Spotify logins get shared/sold on the black market so it's possible someone else is using your account, Tracer.

If you want to be sure, you have to use the 'sign out everywhere' option as I think already-logged-in devices don't get kicked off just by you changing the password.

Another year, another random artist I fall asleep to ends up on my Spotify Unwrapped :P In 2020 the honor goes to the Sandpipers (Guantanamera is a very nice album to fall asleep to, highly recommend).

As is usually the case, all my top tracks and artists are stuff my wife or kids listen to. I'm a top 1% listener of a band I don't particularly care for.
― silverfish, Wednesday, 2 December 2020 16:07 (three years ago) link
my #1 was something I listened to on repeat for one day last February that I like well enough but is not particularly representative.
― Robert Gotopieces (James Redd and the Blecchs), Wednesday, 2 December 2020 16:12 (three years ago) link
My top tracks are... yes, the tracks I listened to a lot. That was very exciting to see, thank you.
― sctttnnnt (pgwp), Wednesday, 2 December 2020 16:13 (three years ago) link
my top track that I actually listen to (Andy Stott - Dismantle) is one that is an auto-play track after almost everything I listen to, which accounts for its placing way more than the amount of times I actually decided to listen to it.

shockingly, I spent most of 2020 listening to clipping.
who could have seen that coming besides anyone within earshot of me during 2020

This is the first full year I've had Spotify, so I took a look at the wrapped thing even though the idea of Spotify packaging up all this data on me and presenting it to me creeps me out. It was kind of an interesting index to the pandemic, actually. No big surprises in the favorite artists category, but some songs showed up that made me go, "whaaa?" and then I realized this was something I'd listened to a lot in the very beginning of lockdown.

my top artists:
1 grateful dead2 bob Dylan (listened obsessively to slow train)3 keith jarrett4 jan garbarek5 the s.o.s. band
I really don't remember listening to the s.os. band that much. I am in the top 1% of Grateful Dead listeners for the year

My most listened to song this year contained these lyrics:
Life is a rope, death is a mythLove is a fraud, it's misunderstoodWork is a sentence, family's a dragThis house is a trap

My summer long Bob Pollard listening project really dominated my Spotify (I listened to a lot of the albums I didn't have ripped to my iPhone yet through there).
1. Guided by Voices2. Robert Pollard3. Circus Devils4. Grateful Dead5. Boston Spaceships
I'm in the top 0.05% of GbV listeners for the year, apparently.
― soaring skrrrtpeggios (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Wednesday, 2 December 2020 17:37 (three years ago) link
1. Donna Summer2. Al Green3. The Sandpipers4. Hank Williams5. Giorgio Moroder
My top song for 2020 is Music Trance by Ben E King...I truly believe I am the only person in the world that statement applies to. It's not terribly evident by my artists list but my discover weekly playlists really broadened my listening horizons - in the past I have gone months without listening to something new, but I have found such random gems in my DW playlists that I never miss a week.

My Top Artists:
1. Cut Copy (I guess I did play their new album on repeat for a few weeks)2. Johnny Nash3. Suzanne Kraft (I play the Nash/Kraft album for bedtime / reading)4. Durutti Column (I expected this would have been number 1, but who knows)5. Sault

i got the top songs in the home screen but not the more granular stats which, frankly, i'm more interested in.

Spotify Wrapped is great! Idc, the algorithm makes me feel seen and I am comfortable with that.
1. CRJ (top 0.5%, woo)2. Charli XCX3. Orchestral Manoeuvres in Dark4. Wire5. Kesha

Have you tried replayify.com? Lots of Spotify Developer tools provide functionality/listening data that the Spotify app doesn't.

1. The Rolling Stones2. The Replacements3. Jimi Hendrix4. Bob Dylan5. Cocteau Twins
a couple of ILM polls came into play, as well as some partner-approved albums and playlists
most of my Spotify use focuses on new-to-me albums, many of which I don't play again, so artists who got any amount of repeated play are overweighted relative to actual listening time
― Brad C., Wednesday, 2 December 2020 19:20 (three years ago) link
1. Pixies2. Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds3. Dexy's Midnight Runners4. Pearl Jam5. Kate Bush.
Which I guess shows I'm getting old, and didn't listen to much this year...

The most confounding thing about my round-up was that ‘escape room’ was my fifth most listened-to genre... Idk what it is but it sounds about right.

I've thought about renaming it "intersectional pop", but the "escape room" name is kind of a thing now in itself.
