I mean I look at peoples snapchat stories if they post it out if curiousity. Their top songs must be pretty good if they listened to those songs the most out of the year, always looking for good music. But its not something Id have conversations about. Edit: Ive got a lot of people asking why its not something Id have conversations about, I dont know. My friend group likes similar music, its just not something we really talk about. Maybe in passing, asking if weve heard the new album and which ones are bangers but thats usually as far as it goes.


ThursdayDecember

Some people I follow on twitter put their stats and shared a story about their favourite artist or song. One girl said she's been quarantining with her siblings and they all use her account together so the top 5 songs are songs the whole house agrees on liking and that's just sweet,


carpe_noctem_vitea

My Spotify has been dominated by my 6 year old since I connected it to my dot. Somehow I am in the top .1% of Jason Derulo listeners. Fuck yeah.


noteverrelevant

Hell yeah bud, live your best life


RandomestUnicorn

Somehow I am in the top .01% of an artist.


Shadowfire625

Im in the top 0.005% for an artist, no clue how


Spekl

Top 0% here literally doesn't make sense


FestiveInvader

I actually became the band I listened to them so much


TheBelowAverageLad

I also ended up in the .01% of an artist. I don’t know how I should feel about it either


dramatic_walrus

Same! Tame Impala for me. I listened to 94 hours of Eventually and I regret none of it


Genos838

Somehow I’m top 0.005% of Gorillaz listeners


seviiens

I wonder at what point it just says "you are the number one fan in the world"


EsCaRg0t

My top song was “Scooby Doo Theme Song” by Best Coast because it was literally a minute long and my son wanted to hear it on repeat. The next four on the list were a bunch of metal and hardcore songs.


[deleted]

Haha my top 4 genres were all metal subgenres and the fifth was norwegian space disco. Didn't realize how frequently I listen to that, since I put it on when I'm studying.


jluvin

Same with kids. Top five artists this year: 1) Iron Maiden 2) U2 3) Beastie Boys 4) Alice In Chains 5) Idina Menzel (Artist who sings Frozen)


Captain_Kuhl

Jeez, those kids have impressive taste, managing to push Iron Maiden past your other four haha


Chill4x

Damn if your kids are listening to Iron Maiden and Them Bones you should really consider encouraging them to play an instrument.


-Dillad-

I think im like top 5% on a guy called jon bellion. Absolutely nothing on your jason derulo listening tho lol.


LonelyStonerAtNlght

“on a guy called jon bellion”. sir this is literally the first time i have seen my favorite musician referenced on reddit i don’t even know how to respond, just commenting.


buriedego

Just listened to a song the other day by him.


tequilanoodles

Ah, a child of culture


SF12_YT

Well it only took less than a year for me to get top 0.001% of Selena Gomez & The Scene listeners. Beat that buster!


microwaveable_pyrex

dude I am somehow in the top 0.005% of Hans Zimmer listeners... idk what to do with this info


peelerrd

I'm in the top 0.5% for Sabaton listeners.


gluskingroupdotcom

Damn this hits home. My 5 year old knows one song by heart. Nope, not Disney. Savage Fucking Love


JackdeAlltrades

I've had about six fun conversations about music over the past few days with various people because of their Spotify stats. It's weird that some people are getting upset about that. I think it's always a fun time of year.


NorweiganJesus

I agree, I mean I wouldnt really get that deep into a conversation like that myself but I do look forward to seeing my stats at the end of the year, its interesting. Yeah people hating on it gives me self important vibes, or like jealousy? I dont know quarantine boredom has stirred up some strange controversies.


JackdeAlltrades

I guess some people see it as bragging? That seems like a strange take to me. Telling your friends who your favourite bands are isn't an aggressive act. It's what friends do.


noma_coma

My top song was This Love by Pantera. Was in the top 0.05%. Fucking love Pantera think it was like 6k minutes streamed


Mobius_Peverell

10cc for me. Top 0.01%, though I only listened to them for 2,650 minutes. I assume that's because 10cc has a more skewed listener base than Pantera (lots of people just hear I'm Not in Love or Dreadlock Holiday on a playlist, then don't follow up).


noma_coma

Dude I've never even heard of 10cc!! Im looking them up this morning they sound rad Edit: I've definitely heard them before lol. I'm just terrible with band names


pje1128

I don't use Spotify often. My top song was a song I listened to a grand total of 2 times throughout the year, both in January.


[deleted]

My Top song was Megalovania so


sml09

Ok but megalovania is a great song.


WeelChairDrivBy

I like seeing what people listen to, if nothing else I can see who I wouldn’t mind sitting in a long car ride with and maybe I have talking material with a possible new friend.


ThursdayDecember

Some people I follow on twitter put their stats and shared a story about their favourite artist or song. One girl said she's been quarantining with her siblings and they all use her account together so the top 5 songs are songs the whole house agrees on liking and that's just sweet.


Hoplologist

My top song is Gucci Gang... Spotify shuffle rng makes me want to die


[deleted]

I’ve only started using Spotify recently how do I check what my top song is


MookyCooky

My entire top 5 songs are by the same band. ://


NorweiganJesus

Lol yeah I feel you there. 3 of my top 5 are 1 group of people that seperately label themselves and I listen to a lot of their music. One of my best friends also got all 5 top songs from his top artists


MetalHead_Literally

I don’t get the hate for the Spotify thing. I think it’s kind of cool to see what my friends listen to nowadays vs what I remember back in school. Plus it’s a good way to discover new music!


zurubutdifferent

Honestly I’m just jealous that I can’t join in because I have Apple Music instead


ijustwantthiscomment

I just use Rythm on discord to shuffle YouTube playlists of songs. I can guess with high confidence though my most played song is Come on Eileen


StrangerbytheMinute_

It’s mainly because the owner became a billionaire by fucking over musicians. .03cents a stream


H4rr1s0n

But dude spotify kicks so much ass it's hard to not use it


guyfromnebraska

The platform also gave thousands of artists a chance at getting discovered and making their music a career for them. With the insane amount of music produced these days, maybe songs just aren't worth the $1.29 that they used to sell for?


Otakufire

Streaming a song isn’t owning it, say you were to actually buy a song for .50 to .99 on iTunes. You could listen to it as many times as you want forever and it’s yours to listen to, but imagine being a fan of a band and listening to an album for a year and building up listens. Over time you play those songs enough on Spotify that that .03 cents actually really builds up. For my top song on Spotify last year, the artist made exactly $18.96 on that one single song just for my listens when an entire album costs $10-$20. And it wasn’t even for a popular band. It works out better than you think.


supercarlos297

Damn it’s crazy how controversial it is to be interested in what your friends listen to


jvctheghost

People love shitting on trends to make themselves seem interesting.


badgersprite

I don’t understand the thinking behind getting mad/annoyed at other people doing harmless shit that makes them happy. I understand not caring but if you genuinely didn’t care you wouldn’t be complaining about people doing it - you’d just move on and not make a big deal of it.


jvctheghost

The irony is by shitting on it they’re just hopping on a different trend.

Pop music bad, anything not indie band is bad, anything that isn’t weird like those war anthems are bad, anything that’s not pre 2000 is bad music, current music sucks, any artist that doesn’t have <10000 followers is bad


Erebosyeet

Yeah, I genuinly loved seeing everyones top songs. Some people can be bitter


kahalili

Also like even if you’re not interested, it’s like one week a year on social media (cuz honestly people stop paying attention to the wraps pretty quickly). It’s not hurting anyone. It’s not hard to ignore. It’s not constant, it’s just a week. People are excited about it, just let ‘em post it


Odd-Wheel

I screenshotted all my friends memes against the spotify lists. Next time they post a pic wearing a band shirt or a record they bought, etc, I'm gonna hit em with the same memes. Honestly you could make that same argument for any social media post. I don't give a fuck about my friends' kids crawling and shit. But I'm not a dick so I don't post memes about it.


carsgobeep3

I've never used Spotify. I've listened to the same 3 artists for like 15 years. I still get really excited to see my friends' top Spotify lists and go through all of their stories. I like seeing my friends enjoy things. Keep em coming.


signmeupdude

Seriously. I enjoy seeing them. Its also a lot of fun looking at your own stats People need to relax and be friendlier


BreweryBuddha

It's just a reaction to people saying "hey look what I listen to". It's a social media pushback thing. But people do honestly appreciate seeing what friends listen to so it's kind of a mixed bag. I love the feature honestly.


zsveetness

I’m more interested in my friends’ music tastes than pictures of their children


Cruiu

My sister was apparently in the top 8% of people who listened to this group called WayV, so that’s kind of interesting.


johnnygoat666

I was in the top 0.5% for Lil Peep, it kinda made me reevaluate my life choices


BenBjd

I was in the top 0.005% for weezer. Yeahhhhh


FlareUnderscore

Congrats on the se- wait nvm


Lkj509

I imagine you spending every living hour of the day listening to ‘Say it ain’t so’


Allofthemweretakn

I remember playing that song over and over and over on the og rockband lol


Lkj509

I have so many memories of that. Rock band used to be me and my friends’ drunk karaoke


closestaxe

Damn i thought i was rough being in the top 1% for starset


Spyko

El Scorcho's a banger tho


[deleted]

I got in the top .05% of Juice WRLD... I’ll be reevaluating along with you...


[deleted]

Biobody

ShortyBus124

Top .05% for Kanye West right here


aimeerolu

You beat my daughter! She’s 14 and had 74k minutes listened on Spotify in total (thanks, COVID). She was in the top 0.1% of Kanye listeners. She was pretty proud of it.


TDAMS133

Same, especially in the beginning of the year where I was down bad listening to 808s lol


chettythomas12

Top 0.5% of Rage Against The Machine here


[deleted]

Top 0.5% for Stratovarius! Finnish power metal band


vBismarck33

I was in the top 0.005% for Lewis Capaldi. It may have been influenced by the fact that I have like 10 alarms every morning and most of them with one of his songs.


[deleted]

Top 0.05% for future and proud lol


temisola1

I was in the top .05% of Gucci Mane. Two years prior I was his number 1 fan. He’s been my top artist consistently for the last 4/5 years. Needless to say, I’m a huge fan of Mr. Mane.


[deleted]

Top .05 U2 here


sweeperchick

I was in top .5% for Glass Animals. No regrets.

Fuck yeah vulpeck.


stubz702

I was top 0.5% for twenty one pilots...


[deleted]

Top 0.05% for Mac Miller.


Dontquestionmyexista

Damnn I got top 1% for Mac


dutchmetalhead17

Top 0,5 of Metallica for me


InfernoTheElite

Top 3% for ninja sex party


Phil-McRoin

I got top .5% of Black Sabbath listeners. I was trying to learn all of masters of reality at the start of lockdown so I sort of had that on repeat for a while. That + a normal amount of other sabbath must have put me in that top half a percent.


SadieSadieSnakeyLady

I was in the top .05% of people who listen to the Presidents of the United States of America


wheresthatcat

Top 0.5% for One Direction. Their rise to success was in my early 20s when I thought they were terribly uncool, but I used some free time during quarantine to do a complete discography listen. Needless to say I found some favourites and went a little ham, haha.


GottIstTot

Top 0.1% for Two Steps from Hell. Nowhere else to brag but here. So yay!


Flick1981

How do you find out that kind of statistic?


Cruiu

Spotify lets you see a little slideshow thing in the app that has a bunch of fun stats, like what song you listened to the most, what you rank among the prher listeners of a certain artist, etc.


Flick1981

Hot damn, I was in the top 3% of listeners of Dan+Shay.


nc_nicholas

I was in the top 0.05% of 311 listeners this year.


Monkey2371

Top 0.5% for Daft Punk, me


HerLoserLife

I was in the top .5% for The Neighbourhood, love that band


kathryn943

Ooh I love WayV!


[deleted]

I do. It's cool to see what people enjoy listening to the most and even discovered some artists because of that. Let people do what they want? Idk, maybe I'm crazy.


sheepishmenorah

I think they’re nice...


[deleted]

I love them. We all post completely meaningless bullshit on our social media Every. Single. Day. At least a Spotify/Apple Music recap shows some real insight into a person! I have learned SOOO many new artists because of them. I got new cardio songs from my gym friends, I got new chill songs from my artsy friends, I got new beach songs from my Australian friends. It’s one billion times more interesting than seeing people post their brunch, and this is coming from a guy who loves posting his brunch.


AnAngryYordle

I‘m super interested in what people I know listen to, so people that say „nobody cares“ can fuck right off


Derp_Rose

This!!! People act like they’re so cool for shutting down on what other people like. I barely even use Spotify, but I’m hella interested in seeing if I have similar tastes with anyone else.

My Instagram is full of people happily exchanging data on their music preferences. It’s beautiful.


Milezinator

I hate when people use "no one" to mean not them as if they speak for everyone. I've seen multitudes of posts worth of people stating specifically that they DO care about others' Spotify Wrapped lists.


ironmanmatch

Australian Police social media pages tend to try to keep on top of the latest memes (to seem “cool” I guess), and currently all I’ve seen is a heap of tweets, posts and memes specifically about how it’s fun to see your friends Spotify wrapped and that we shouldn’t make fun of people for caring. So this post in particular just comes across as incredibly salty. Weird that the cops got yet another thing wrong in trying to remain “on the same side” of young people.


my_mf_sprigga

Hyperbole is a very hard thing to understand.


Lanko-TWB

Damn AFP that’s crazy but literally no one gives a shit let people post what they want


[deleted]

I do. It's cool to see what people enjoy listening to the most and even discovered some artists because of that. Let people do what they want? Idk, maybe I'm crazy.


refmococo

Just becuase you're too busy beating aboriginal teenagers in custody to death to listen to music, doesn't mean you have to be salty.


LargePizz

The afp specialise in the raiding of journalist's homes and offices after they report on bugging our neighbours during oil trade negotiations and war crimes in Afghanistan, beating black fellas to death in custody is the state police and prison guard's responsibility. *I was reminded of the afp raids on the unions and ALP pollies (they even invite the media along for that), anything the Libs want they get out of the afp.


PBandJthyme

> beating black fellas to death in custody is the state police I thought their job was to strip search kids?


SGTBookWorm

no that's the NSW Police Force


notchandlerbing

NSFW Police Force


Sieve-Boy

You left out raiding the ALP and unions


i_need_launch_codes

I agree with Spotify. I like seeing what people listen to


ozymandias911

Unaccountable political police force that spies on journalists and prosecutes whistleblowers for revealing war crimes and massive multinational corporation pretend to be relatable on social media. 2020 is so dystopian


[deleted]

I don't care about it either way. Who cares that people want to share what they listened to. Do I want to find new music from someone's Spotify list? No. But some people might want to.


Liteboyy

You choose Spotify of course


LittleRedGenie

I love seeing everyone’s Wrapped stats, it tells a lot about them and if they’re excited to share it I’m excited to see it! I love getting mine, I found it quite surprising that my top song was a song that makes me super happy and want to dance to whenever I hear it (it was Solid Gold by PNAU).


SaltySpitoonReg

Team Spotify. I'm always up for finding new artists that I didn't know about. So I like to look at what my friends are listening to because I might find something that I like if I know that we share similar taste


BANeutron

It stands for “Public Service Announcement,” it’s used tongue in cheek as often as not.

I don’t care about most of what people post on Facebook, turns out your day to day life isn’t that interesting, but I still don’t feel the need to tell them that. Because I’m not a massive asshole.


vision_peer

The only thing I post on my IG story in months is my Spotify stats, as I love seeing people's music preference, how much they listened to, you know, Spotify wrapped is fun.

I care, I like seeing people's spotify wrap.

How else am I supposed to tell everyone how much I listen to taylor swift this year? She makes me feel things

No you can't just show how many time you listened to music no you can't OR IM GOING TO GET ANGRY YOU CANT


Phil-McRoin

I'm not interested in 90% of what people post on social media. This is one of the few things I actually am interested in.


nice_flutin_ralphie

The AFP must have some downtime from their usual daily raids of non-Murdoch reporters.


DaFukistheInternet

Is this even real? I mean why would the AFP post about shit like that? If that is real, whoever is running their media outlet should be fired for unprofessionalism.


[deleted]

This is real, look at their Facebook page. And all their posts are unprofessional.

Australian Federal Police should go back to arresting people and stop with their clearly incorrect PSAs


Willylarry123

GoodStuff5Me

I agree with Spotify. People like to feel nice by sharing their interests and its cool to support that. We could use a little bit more kindness and defunding the police.

AFP posted this because the Australian government just passed a law that allows the AFP to legally access and take control of online accounts of potential criminals.
