When listening happens — weekly clock and streak milestones.
You've been scrobbling nearly every day for almost two decades, with 2025 being your most committed year yet—a 65-day streak that feels less like obsession and more like music became your actual daily oxygen. This is the kind of consistency that happens when listening stops being a hobby and turns into how you process the world, whether that's morning ritual, commute companion, or late-night wind-down fuel.
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.
Genre tags, release decades, and where artists come from — the shape of the collection.
You built something anchored in American and British rock from the '90s onward—the era when indie and alternative stopped being underground and started being everything—with deep roots in the '60s foundation that made it all possible, and enough folk and electronic edges to keep things from calcifying into pure guitar worship.
Scrobbles by artist country from MusicBrainz. Click a bar or map country to see who is indexed there. The map uses a log color scale so the US and UK do 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.
How genre mix shifted year to year — top tags only.
Indexed 3,420 artists (3,299 with genres) and 9,463 albums (6,480 with release years). Metadata updates on individual page visits.
Concentration vs. variety — year-over-year swings, top-artist share, new vs. returning mix, and how wide listening gets month to month.
You've been spreading your listening wider than ever—Bear's Den and The Killers leading the way now while The Avett Brothers fade from the top spot after years of dominance, and Jimmy Eat World, Racing Glaciers, and Young the Giant making fresh moves into your rotation. The Killers remain your steadiest touchstone across this entire span, indie rock and post-punk energy that clearly doesn't wear out for you.
Percent change in scrobbles vs. the prior year — which years jumped or dipped.
What fraction of each year's scrobbles came from the five most-played artists — concentration vs. variety.
Unique artists per month — wide vs. deep listening eras.
Scrobbles to artists first heard that year vs. artists already in rotation — discovery vs. comfort listening.
How scrobble count and discovery breadth shift across years, months, and days.
You've built a steady, expansive listening practice over the past decade — starting deliberate in 2015, hitting real momentum around 2021, and maintaining that high-volume curiosity through 2024-25 while broadening your artist palette year after year, though this year's been more selective with fewer repeat spins and a dip through the summer months.
