After February 2024 (grey), Spotify logged 272 plays in 31 months. Last.fm counts what plays on my Mac from August 2026; the two overlap in August and September 2026 and are not added into one number. Apple Music, the biggest gap, is still to come.

I skip about 60% of what I start. It was lowest in 2021, at 52%.

“Skipped”: starts that ended under 30 seconds, out of all starts. “Finished”: plays that ran to the end, out of plays.

How starts begin and end

After a start that came from a skip, 79% of the next starts were skipped too: skipping comes in streaks.

The Beatles is the one that keeps coming back: in my top ten in 10 of 11 years.

Carlos Sadness and Little Jesus are my friend’s, from the account we shared in 2018 and 2019, so they are left out of every ranking. † Probably my mom’s: this account was connected to the home Alexas when I stayed at my parents’ house. A gap is a year the artist was outside my top ten; 2025 and 2026 are nearly empty because I had moved to Apple Music.

Spotify export · my ten most played artists of all time, ranked in each year

In 2016, 29% of my plays were artists I had never played before. By 2022 it was 10%.

“New artists”: plays from artists whose first play ever was that year. “My top ten”: the share of the year’s plays that went to its ten most played artists. 179 artists passed 100 plays over the years.

My friend’s artists are left out. † Probably my mom’s: this account was connected to the home Alexas when I stayed at my parents’ house. Under Cover of Darkness by The Strokes holds the record for one day: 9 plays. Probably my friend’s too: Agustin, what happened to your taste in 2019?

* In 2018 I shared the account with a friend, who listened to a lot of indie in Spanish. Their artists are left out of these lists, and some share of everything else that year is theirs too; I cannot split it.

Times in the export are UTC. I counted them in Mexico City time, which moves 1,003 plays (1%) into another month and 105 into another year. A session is a run of starts with no pause over 30 minutes. Each play’s IP address, country, device model and exact time stay in a private folder on my Mac; the site gets only the totals.

Last.fm and Spotify overlap from August 2026 to September 2026: Spotify logged 25 plays then, 22 of them away from the Mac. That is the most Last.fm could have missed from Spotify, and far too few to size the gap; the Apple Music export will.
