When listening happens — weekly clock and streak milestones.
You've been logging music almost every single day for two decades, which is the kind of commitment that separates casual listeners from people who actually live with sound. Your longest run was 67 consecutive days back when you really locked in, and 2025 was your peak year—365 days of active listening translated to a 65-day streak and 313 days touched, suggesting you're someone who comes back to music like other people check their phone. You listen year-round with particular intensity in winter months, turning on music the way someone else might turn on heat, and your current 12-day streak suggests you're never really off the grid.
Scrobbles by day of week and hour (Central Time). Brighter cells mean more plays in that slot.
Total scrobbles rolled up across all hours — weekly rhythm.
Peak hours during the day — commutes, work, bedtime.
Consecutive days with at least one scrobble — longest run per calendar year, plus all-time totals.
How scrobble count and discovery breadth shift across years, months, and days.
You've spent a decade hunting for new sounds with genuine hunger, hitting your stride in 2021 and riding that momentum into 2024 with nearly 10,000 scrobbles across almost 900 artists—a peak moment of both volume and reach—before settling into a steadier, still-voracious groove through 2025 and into 2026, where you're exploring wider despite fewer total plays, suggesting taste over repetition.

Concentration vs. variety — top-artist share, new vs. returning mix, and how wide listening gets month to month.
The Avett Brothers held your listening life together for years, but 2024 flipped the script—you've been spreading your devotion wider, letting Bear's Den, The Killers, and a rotating cast of alternative rock steady-hands share the load instead of any one band dominating. You're still mining the same emotional vein (heartland folk-rock energy bleeding into arena-sized guitars), but the obsession has become a conversation between friends rather than a fixation.
What fraction of each year's scrobbles came from the five most-played artists — concentration vs. variety.
Scrobbles to artists first heard that year vs. artists already in rotation — discovery vs. comfort listening.

Genre tags, release decades, and where artists come from — the shape of the collection.
You've built a deeply American rock archive with one foot planted in the '90s and 2000s, the other reaching back to the '60s — alt-rock and indie as your native language, but enough British invasion DNA and folk undertow to keep things from feeling like a single lane.
Scrobbles by artist country from MusicBrainz. The bar chart shows exact counts; the map uses a capped color scale so the US does not wash out everyone else.
All-time scrobbles by genre tag — album tags when available, otherwise artist tags.
Scrobbles grouped by release decade. The Y axis uses a log scale when recent decades dwarf older ones.
