lastfm summary [2022]

[hyojungss]

i typically trust my lastfm stats but this year my listening habits have changed due to w*rk blocking spotify and lastfm. i tell you it really is harrowing to [rant cut for length]

total number of scrobbles: 31,734 (▼8,024)
total tracks scrobbled: 5,245 (▲745)
total artists scrobbled: 1,715 (▲557)

also this year i think i gravitated more towards spotify genre playlists and trying to discover more indie/singer-songwriter music.

top artists:

1. SEVENTEEN (1,922) (=)
2. STAYC (1,250) (▲5)
3. fromis_9 (1,195) (▲14)
4. OH MY GIRL (1,076) (=)
5. IVE (651)
6. Taylor Swift (619) (▼4)
7. Red Velvet (534) (▲11)
8. NIKI (517)
9. IU (496) (▼6)
10. Johnny Knox (469)

top artists is interesting because it's very misleading as usual with most of the artists being on there because i really liked a few of their songs that year... but i think seeing svt, omg, taylor, rv, iu almost every year is still a testament so it is really more about how frequently they show up in the list. i'm personally hoping stayc will be a regular too but it's too early to say. but hey... reading last year's - oh my girl's bsides were actually good this year :') and i didn't like midnights... there's always something.

top tracks by scrobbles:

1. Every Summertime - NIKI (427)
2. I Want To Be With You - chloe moriondo (359)
3. After LIKE - IVE (335)
4. LOVE DIVE - IVE (282)
5. Love is Around - fromis_9 (270)
6. DM - fromis_9 (265)
7. HOT - SEVENTEEN (218)
8. Abittipsy - YOUHA (214)
9. _WORLD - SEVENTEEN (211)
10. NO PROBLEM (feat. Felix of Stray Kids) - NAYEON (209)
11. Drunk Voicemail - Pom Pom Squad (206)
12. Habits - Johnny Knox (204)
13. Pretty Lips - Winehouse (202)
14. Reflecting Light - Sam Phillips (202)
15. . - girl in red (199)
16. SO BAD - STAYC (195)
17. YOUNG LUV - STAYC (192)
18. I'll Call You Mine - girl in red (192)
19. Blink - OH MY GIRL (189)
20. Feel My Rhythm - Red Velvet (172)

honestly these numbers are a bit sketchy for reasons (scrobbles go to the void and then i overcompensate but did the scrobbles really go to the void and did i really make up for it?) particularly for after like, abittipsy, young luv and feel my rhythm... i think everything else should be fine b/c i stopped looping new songs at w*rk so i wouldn't risk that x____x

20. Feel My Rhythm - Red Velvet (10 hrs 2 min)

again it's mostly the same but this year i really felt the sub 3 minute song epidemic... it's not the length of the song that's inherently bad but just the incompleteness... taking this opportunity to MOURN how a good song like beautiful monster was ruined for me by the strange structure, like rado i swear if u had added an extra 30 seconds to this song it would have been a smash hit. another one that suffered from this in the past was clc no, where i think the point was to get people to listen to it again to get the feeling they wanted from the missing last chorus but instead it just made me mad.

like i think after like, love dive, _world do pull off the job they're meant to in the length they are, but that feeling of being stiffed of a complete song still came out in svt bsides, omg bsides... svt dream also DOESN'T EVEN HAVE A BRIDGE!

anyway.

other standout tracks I discovered this year with less listening time

• Fall In Love Alone - Stacey Ryan
• INVU - TAEYEON
• 28 Reasons - SEULGI
• Stay This Way - fromis_9
• Domino - SEVENTEEN
• Good Parts (when the quality is bad but I am) - LE SSERAFIM
• Ditto - NewJeans
• 'bout you - SEVENTEEN
• Remaja - Hivi!
• No Exit - Tennis
• ANTIFRAGILE - LE SSERAFIM
• Hype Boy - NewJeans
• Head Cheerleader - Pom Pom Squad
• Circles - SEVENTEEN
• Your Existence - Wonstein
• Late Night Talking - Harry Styles
• MVSK - Kep1er

i think a pretty noticeable omission from my top songs this year for how much i like them was le sserafim... the thing is i kinda got my kick out of listening to antifragile while watching their stages and i feel like their songs are a lot better performed than listened to
