Wow, i know none of these? Wtf
Where Infected Mushroom
I'm doing my part.
a person of good taste! Cheers
Holy shit I know two of those songs.
What "it" is has officially changed. 👴
It'll happen to you!
wow people who listen to spotify have shit taste in music
Does it mean that I'm old if the only song on this list that I recognized was yellow by Coldplay?
Right there with you! I was kinda hoping that I could say I'd not heard any of those songs...so close!
yes, no other song here is older than 2013
This is fascinating to me, I've only heard one of these songs before :o
I've only heard of 3-4. I'm sure I've heard more just out in the wild if they're that popular, but I never know what a song is or who sings it.
I used to be with it! Then they changed what "it" was!
It'll happen to you...
I too have only heard one song on this list. But I was born more than 4 decades ago so....
It sounds to me like you've made a choice somewhere in your 4 decades to not seek out music that's new or popular. Maybe you have niche tastes or something, your reasons are your own. If you are happy with the music you listen to then you've made the right decision for you. In that case though, this list should not surprise you.
Not exactly niche tastes for sure. I enjoy listening to almost any genre (seriously, even country). But the rapid commercialization and repetitiveness of most modern music (in any genre) is really off-putting. I do listen to current music but while it's not super niche, it'd also never end up on a list like this.
I'm not one of those people who only listens to indie bands and thinks I'm superior. Last week I listened to everything Pink Floyd ever released. :D The week before that it was all swedish power metal.
One more than i have. TIL post Malone does music. I thought he was a steamer or something.
Never even heard of most of these lmao
I like that this graph is colored bright green, because as a 50 year old this list is pure kryptonite. Played back to back, this playlist would result in a Scanners-like situation for me.
Yellow by Coldplay?!
What?
That's (yikes) 26 years old! How is that making the chart?
I'm an absolute expert in music up until about 2000, and then it falls off a cliff.
Surprised to see glass animals on this list. Didnt realise they were so big.
What were they streaming Yellow on in the year 2000? The radio? Napster? Lol how did Spotify get the data? It wouldnt be around until like 2008.
That's when it was released, not the year everyone streamed it.
Aaah thank you
Tough to see imagine dragons so high on the list. Interesting that the weeknd has 2 in the top 4!
My favorites:
- Sweater Weather
- I Wanna Be Yours
- Yellow
