2020 In Music
At the beginning of every December, Spotify releases their personalized year in review. A smidge early for me as it only really accounts for 11 months of the year. Does December not count?
Spotify does its year in review so early. I mean I could discover a band in the next 5 mins and still have a few weeks to alter the year's stats. @lastfm handles this better.

And lo, now that December is over, here is the last.fm 2020 in review.
I scrobbled 24,627 songs, from 1,844 artists and 3,787 albums. A hair more than 2019, yet way off the pace from a decade ago when my job allowed me to have my headphones in constantly.
Top artists:
Depeche Mode
Killing Joke
Actors
Clan of Xymox
The Cure
Top Albums:
Makeup And Vanity Set – 88:88
The League Unlimited Orchestra – Love And Dancing
Vangelis – Blade Runner Soundtrack
Actors – It Will Come To You
Depeche Mode – Construction Time Again
Top tracks:
The Chameleons – Swamp Thing
Actors – PTL
Then Comes Silence – Strangers
Linea Aspera – Synapse
Actors – We Don't Have To Dance
Here's to a productive music listening experience in 2021!
Also if you listen to music from non-Spotify sources, last.fm is better at keeping track of all that.
It's true. Not that you'd know mate, as you haven't scrobbled anything since 2007. You should get on that. Oh, and good to see you online again by the way.
Can I get Spotify to record my cassette scrobbles?
Of course. You just know someone has a last.fm tool for that :-) "Manually scrobble songs played in the car, on the radio, on vinyl, or anywhere.", http://universalscrobbler.com.
Love that Depeche Mode and The Cure are in your top listens. As you know, I've not jumped into the Spotify world, at least on a paid level. Perhaps now that YouTube Music took over Google Play Music and is not a great experience, I might explore more into being a paid Spotify user in 2021.
