I'm feeling a bit envious of all the Spotify Wrapped summaries.

I share my account with our 25yo son. I listen to a wide variety of stuff a few times, while he has a smaller set of favourites/playlists which he plays A LOT.

So, my 'most listened to song' this year is, apparently, 'Fire Escape' by Call Me Karizma (which I just took a first listen to - not bad!)

But he (rather than me!) has got 'Jackie Down the Line' by Fontaines D.C. sitting at #4, so at least I'm still managing to hold some influence!

oooh, sounds partially fun and stimulating, but at the same time a lil' bit frustrating... Love "Jackie Down the Line"! ❤️ Thanks for sharing these

Thanks for the mention/signal boost!

I didn't see the artists' messages in my wrapped, but that looks pretty cool. I'd like to see that rolled out wider. My #1 was Teenage Fanclub's "Is This Music?" It's a great song, but I'm surprised it topped the list.

P.S. I'd totally come to Stygifest! Any show where Fog Chaser and the Notorious B.I.G. are sharing a stage is one I want to be at. :)

Sure! Happy to share it 🫶 Btw, I'm really enjoying my journey through your Wrapped playlist. "Is This Music?" is truly a gem 💎 I think "Anything Could Happen" by The Clean and "Step By Step" by Braxe x Falcon caught my attention the most. Also, loooove the fact that you have a lot of Yo La Tengo there! Actually, it's not a surprise because each 'On Repeat' is like a sweet treat in my inbox - so many treasures to get to know.

Thank you for that! I love that you're finding some new favorites here. :)

My number one for 2022 was Wilder Days by Morgan Wade. Didn't get the interviews and podcasts with my top artists this year like I did last year. A bit disappointing really. So much to listen to. My current listen (outside of Discover Weekly and New Releases) is the Radio Veronica Top 1500. I'm up to about 175 so far :) Radio Veronica was my happy place in Holland when I was a kid.

Oooh, I thought it was a new feature. Sorry, you missed it. That's not fun :/

Love diggin' into such huge playlists like 'Radio Veronica Top 1500' - Thanks for sharing 🙂 I'm going to dive in.
