I just found this roundup of 2019, it looks like that was the last time I did this. Everyone's been talking about their Spotify listening charts, as they were just published, but I don't really use Spotify. I listen to my own music, the same old music, ideally nothing new. I can have a chart of 2023 after the year has actually ended. In the meantime let's have charts of 2022 while we wait.
Don't think I was listening to as much music in 2022, and I was probably not logging all that I was listening, so might be odd charts. Here are the tracks of the year!
Some odd tracks in there, some bands I actively dislike (Stereophonics and Red Hot Chili Peppers), and surprised that is the Motley Crue track I listened to most. How is that one in there at the top and yet no other Motley Crue? Rick Astley is definitely T2. The rest seems about right. I did have to edit two tracks from my listening list, as two episodes of the Elis James and John Robins podcast came in higher than The Smiths and KISS. This is because if I listen to part of it, then come back to it later, it can count as multiple plays. I don't listen to their podcast any more, I don't know if they still have a radio show.
Most listened to artists of 2022:
Newscast podcast from the BBC would actually appear in second place here, and also Elis James and John Robins, No Such Thing As A Fish, and Richard Herring's RHLSTP would also be in the top ten.
So, stay tuned for the list of 2023. It's actually looking quite different to this, a lot more music listened to this year, but still probably no great surprises.
