Oh man, time sure flies.
At the moment I have 92,200 total plays, only 6700 plays in a year. How come? I think I'm simply listening less music than before. My player isn't playing constantly as it once was, but I prefer to listen only when I want to hear certain music. And some of my listens aren't getting scrobbled, but they aren't all that many.
Well, anyway. My top 30 artists are as follows:
01. (-) 浜崎あゆみ 1,225
02. (-) The Faint 1,155
03. (+1) Tuvalu 919
04. (+1) The Knife 898
05. (-2) Björk 881
06. (-) Faithless 814
07. (+3) Husky Rescue 776
08. (-1) 坂本真綾 756
09. (-1) DIR EN GREY 709
10. (-1) PMMP 687
11. (+2) Ulver 676
12. (+2) HORSE the band 654
12. (+3) Lapko 654
14. (-3) System Of A Down 650
15. (-3) 菅野よう子 612
16. (+1) Regina 602
17. (-1) Infected Mushroom 583
18. (+6) Eleanoora Rosenholm 547
19. (-1) Imogen Heap 512
20. (-1) CMX 503
21. (-) Tool 502
21. (+2) Rammstein 502
23. (+2) Mogwai 469
24. (-4) Bloodpit 468
25. (-3) 30 Seconds to Mars 465
26. (+1) Machinae Supremacy 439
27. (*) Muse 420
28. (-2) belladonnakillz 405
29. (-2) Venetian Snares 399
29. (+1) Tegan and Sara 399
Quite a bit of movement, but only one new artist, Muse. Finnish bands rose with Eleanoora Rosenholm leading by gaining 6 places. Also Husky Rescue and Lapko rose up on the charts. The biggest drop was by Bloodpit who got no new plays the previous year. There were also other artists who got none or very little plays.
The top 15 artists with most plays last year are:
01. Eleanoora Rosenholm 126
02. Biffy Clyro 124
03. Crystal Castles 123
04. Husky Rescue 118
05. The Knife 102
06. Maybeshewill 100
07. Caribou 97
08. Gojira 96
09. Slugabed 95
10. Auf der Maur 91
11. Jenni Vartiainen 80
12. Islaja 78
13. The Faint 76
14. Lapko 74
15. Ulver 70
15. Fever Ray 70
Those artists comprise about 22 % of my total plays during the last year, so my listening habits have become even more focused on certain few artists than they have previously been. No surprise there. But I'm glad that there are new artists and quite a bit of variance from last year.
I still haven't renewed my Last.fm subscription, but I recently got Spotify Premium for my new AV receiver that natively supports it. Times have certainly changed now that I have to connect my receiver with a network cable…
