I kicked Spotify to the curb after their continuous support of warfare, AI, and white supremacy (better late than never I guess since it was nothing new). I’ve since moved to TIDAL but I did that in the middle of the year so my stats weren’t consistent. That left Last.fm for my yearly review and it’s been my ever-faithful since waaay back.
(tl;dr: here’s the full Last.fm report for 2025 if you’d rather just read what they put together.)
In 2025, I spent 30 days, 15 hours listening to music
Apparently, that’s enough to fill 490 cassette tapes and fly to the moon 9 times.
My top artist was…
Ahwlee!
I scrobbled him 1,516 times, putting me in the top 0.02% of fans worldwide (I’m gonna pretend that’s a rounding error because that’s a lot in one year so who the hell listened more than that???)
I also explored 1,524 artists in 2025, and discovered 44% of them for the first time.
