Last year, I listened to a total of 14,681 minutes of audio content on Spotify. I say audio content and not music because I was not listening exclusively to music. I recently found several podcasts that I really enjoy and have spent countless hours listening to spoken audio. (I say countless, though Spotify is always counting.)
My most listened to artists included Noah Kahan, Joji, and BENEE, the latter two of which were in my top five for 2022 as well. I definitely expected to see this lineup as my top artists because of my propensity to listen to a song or album on repeat for a really long time. I think I listened to Stick Season for at least a month straight.
What I found surprising about this year’s wrapped is that it didn’t include nearly as much analysis of podcast listening has it had in years prior. It’s a bummer since I had listened to a lot more podcast content than previous years.
