Is it a bit weird that I work in the music industry and am constantly listening to new music, yet my most played songs of 2016 are largely songs from previous years?
According to Spotify, the tunes I spun the most this year were:
- ‘When I’m Small’ by Phantogram (new album was good, but this song just takes the cake)
- ‘Take a Dip’ by Weaves
- ‘Digital Witness’ by St. Vincent
Apart from these top three, I ended up listening to 3,273 unique songs by 1,266 total artists for over 35,262 minutes… Full playlist below. Largely chicks with guitars singing loudly… Typical.
In terms of new albums I really dug, I thought the new Glass Animals album was ace and had GA’s signature style but was a real progression from their first album. September Girls’ new LP ‘Age of Indignation’ also got a real thrashing this year, but I still love their older ‘Veneer’ EP so much.
