Spotify Wrapped 2020

Spotify turns your music year into a summary for you around December. Now, I do find it quite early (as it’s only the second of the month), but my app gave me several stories to list the songs and bands I listened to and other fun facts about my music taste. So, shall we take a look at my 2020 in music?

7. Looking back to previous years

Minutes per year:

• 2016: 1546 minutes
• 2017: 1173 minutes
• 2018: 43,659 minutes
• 2019: 41,178 minutes
• 2020: 42,832 minutes

Artists and songs per year:

• 2016: Nathan Sykes, I Can’t Be Mad
• 2017: Imagine Dragons: Mouth Of The River
• 2018: Three Days Grace: Someone Who Cares
• 2019: Skillet: Anchor

I honestly expected way more listened minutes than 2018. I mean, being stuck at home, writing a lot etc. I did beat 2019 in terms of listened minutes, but I’m slightly disappointed I didn’t beat 2018. Guess I’m gonna have to try next year 😉

Love, Deem ❤
