2019 Listening Statistics
2/26/2020 11:26:00 AM
I entirely forgot that I never posted this, which I guess isn't a big deal because it's not really for anyone but me. But it is tradition at this point, so, without further ado, here are my listening statistics for 2019. I won't overanalyze them, but I will note that I think this is the first time ever I've had the same artist at number one (by a very wide margin) two years in a row. Here are some fun graphics before we dive into the lists.
(As an aside, I have some ideas for new posts but not much motivation... I guess we'll just have to see what happens.)

While we're here, I suppose there's no better time to post my most-played artists, albums, and tracks across the entire decade. With some exceptions, these lists seem very heavily skewed toward the first half of the decade. I think it's mostly because I don't listen to individual artists as obsessively as I used to and listen to a wider variety of artists in general, so it becomes harder for new stuff to rise to the top. (I can't find much fault in the top ten artists, though, except that I would probably kick the Beatles off because their position is 95% based on one intense year where I cycled through their entire discography.)
