Time for my monthly/annual recounting of what I’ve been listening to. The December numbers are always an aberration, as I go all-in with the holiday music.
I think the 2016 totals are rather interesting, though. I don’t believe I’ve ever had my #1 artist so far out in front of my #2 artist. Remember, these only reflect what I’ve listened to on Spotify. Throw in the months that one Frightened Rabbit disk or another was in my vehicle’s CD player, and I think they’re pushing a thousand virtual and physical spins.
Another interesting tidbit – probably just to me – about this year is Frightened Rabbit passed Pearl Jam as my all-time most listened to artist on Last.fm. The Scots now lead the Jammers 2783 to 2561. I’m pretty sure PJ had been #1 ever since I first joined Last.fm in February, 2005.
