I cannot for the life of me figure out to share the nice summary page this year.
me neither. i can only access it via my mobile app. so i can take shitty screenshots but i'm seeing these nice big landscape images in this thread, not sure how people are getting those.

When I pressed the share button on the final one with the overview of everything, I pressed copy link, and posted it to a place where I could copy the image link and that's how I got the landscape photo
I spent 9,000 minutes listening to the Dead this year and not a single song is in my top 100
I listen to spotify about 8 hours a day with work, travel, etc. so my minutes are insane.
I feel like there is something off with the algorithm. I spent the better part of the past 6 months listening to jazz and nothing showed.
I feel like this is a data set problem. Maybe some engineer went nuts with the subgenre tags separating, like, post-bop from hard-bop and stuff like that. It would give you better recommendations but balkanizes your year-end summary.
Meanwhile the metal guy is just sitting there like, "I dunno man, it's fucken metal."
Also I always assume there's some sort of payola here.
These always make me wish I could truly quantify how much music I listen to. I probably listened to Women In Music p.III more than any other album this year but that's because I bought it on vinyl the week it came out. And I watched WAY more livestreams than ever before so that Phish number would go even higher for me. My Spotify info is more reflective of what I listen to when running and, in other years, what I listen to with friends.

thanks. tried copy link, then pasted into my desktop PC browser, but it just takes me to the spotify web app page. i've tried cutting certain portions of the link out but it just keeps defaulting to that same page.
not a big deal, i appreciate you trying to help. not sure why spotify is forcing users to the phone app for this, it's not like they need to raise awareness that an app exists.

I think they're specifically trying to raise awareness for their stupid stories thing that they're doing for some reason

i think there is something to this. over on r/techno nobody is getting just "techno" as a favorite genre, it's all kinds of subgenres and stuff like that. i'm betting jazz is similarly divided into a million different genres.

totally unrelated to this thread but i was watching a documentary about german techno on youtube a few weeks back. there apparently was a record store that was at the center of the early berlin techno scene. those early detroit techno records were really taking off in the clubs over there, so the record store owner started a "techno" section in his store. and he just started putting everything there that sounded like techno to him, so chicago house records, depeche mode, etc. pretty much anything with bleep bloops. and the action of that one man in berlin is why to many people all electronic music is "techno". wild stuff!
article is from 2017, but sounds like it's just one guy classifying all those genres on spotify. inforoo dream job.
edit: genre 1516 is "deep string quartet". so like there was some string quartet that felt like contemporary string quartets had strayed too far from their roots, and was like "fuck y'all we going deep".

1. Bon Iver (Top 0.1) 2. Phoebe Bridgers 3. Run the Jewels 4. Soccer Mommy 5. Caribou
1. AUATC - BI 2. Blood Bank (Live) - BI 3. ROCKSTAR -DaBaby 4. I Know the End - Phoebe 5. walking in the snow - RTJ
We share one (Phoebe) but I'm honestly surprised Bon didn't crack my Top 5 too. Also, Blood Bank is definitely one of my faves of his, and that live track version is perfection
Considering you've found the need to respond to my threads as if you are threatened by me I offer you some peace my confused counterpart. May you find peace in your restless soul.

I still use last.fm and universalscrobbler.com for this exact reason.

Also I always assume there's some sort of payola here.
according to spotify i listened to 942 genres and 2970 artists. so my genres are nearly 1/3 of the artists. kinda whack. but I guess it's possible that songs could be classified as multiple different genres, e.g. rock/metal/stoner metal, or someting.

i still use last.fm to track my listening habits. i have a browser extension that will scrobble youtube videos (and archive.org and bandcamp). I have an android app that can scan the UPC on the back of vinyls and it will scrobble all the tracks based on data from discogs database. When I'm feeling really nerdy I have a python script that will scrobble tracks from info I manually add to .csv file (or scrape from setlist.com for like, livestreams). Last.fm also has way better (and more interesting) stats - you can break down listening by year/month/week/day; which days (and horus of the day) over a given period you listened the most/least.
there's an inforoo group on there, and somewhere around here there was a thread where someone was putting together like, a billboard top 20 of peoples listening for the month.

I strongly suspect that there’s some payola shit going on with how Spotify engineers these year end lists. That’s mostly unrelated to my last post though.
Weirdly Frank Ocean is number three on my last fm list, but not on my Spotify. Meanwhile 1,2,4&5 are identical
Same thing happened to me last year, Car Seat Headrest was 3rd on last.fm but not in top 5 on spotify. 4 and 5 on last.fm got moved up to 3 and 4 and 6 on last.fm was 5th on spotify. Pretty strange

Oooh now that sounds interesting. What's that extension and does it track live stream listening?
