Ten Years of Listening

Loading…

How these numbers are counted
  • Everything comes from my Spotify streaming history export, converted to US Eastern time.
  • A play is any stream of 30 seconds or more, the same cutoff Spotify uses.
  • Listening time counts every second streamed, split across the hours it actually happened in.
  • A skip means I hit "next" before the song ended.
  • The same song on different albums or remasters is counted as one song.
  • Podcasts and audiobooks are left out.
