Hi.

Welcome to Lattes, Life & Luggage! Iā€™m Christine and I share my adventures traveling and navigating this crazy thing we call life.

My Year In Music

My Year In Music

Last year, I shared my results from Spotify's Year In Review. It's pretty much the only thing I use to listen to music so I figure it's pretty accurate with the results. I have to say, I was pretty surprised at some of mine for this year. Quite a few of these makes sense. For example, my summer was full of Gavin DeGraw and Shania Twain most likely because I saw them in concert. Same with Britney Spears and Leighton Meester in the winter. I'm surprised to see John Mayer pop up simply because I don't actively go listen to him. He just pops up on Spotify radio a lot and he's in a lot of the playlists I like to listen to. Check out the results for yourself.

Top Artists
#1 Gavin DeGraw (totally believable)
#2 Carrie Underwood (yup, sounds about right)
#3 Britney Spears (sorry, Brit. You got bumped two positions this year)
#4 Luke Bryan
#5 Ed Sheeran

Top Albums
#1 Heartstrings by Leighton Meester (great album)
#2 X (Deluxe Edition) by Ed Sheeran
#3 Greatest Hits: Decade #1 by Carrie Underwood
#4 Chariot - Stripped by Gavin DeGraw (one of my favorite albums of all time)
#5 What A Terrible World, What A Wonderful World by The Decemberists (I barely remember listening to this album)

Top Tracks
#1 Tenerife Sea by Ed Sheeran (this is in every. single. playlist.)
#2 Little Toy Guns by Carrie Underwood (I'm still addicted to this song)
#3 XO by John Mayer (this is also in every single playlist and I HATE this song)
#4 Games by Luke Bryan
#5 Free Fallin' Live by John Mayer 

Top Genres
#1 Pop
#2 Neo Mellow (what is this???)
#3 Contemporary Country
#4 Pop Rock
#5 Country Road (again...what?)

Stats:
- I listened to 63,000 minutes of music. That's equivalent to 1,052 hours or 44 days. (that's impressive)
- I listened to 2,971 artists (I didn't even know there were that many)
- I listened to 7,747 different tracks
- First song of the year: For You I Will (Confidence) by Teddy Geiger (WHAT? I want to know why I chose this as my first song to listen to in 2015. I don't even remember what I was doing the first day of 2015.)
- Song most listened to in one day: Run Away by Leighten Meester for a total of 12 times

Music By Season
Winter Top 3: Leighton Meester, Britney Spears, The Decemberists
Spring Top 3: Carrie Underwood, Kelly Clarkson, Gavin DeGraw
Summer Top 3: Gavin DeGraw, Shania Twain, Luke Bryan
Fall Top 3: Carrie Underwood, Britney Spears, John Mayer
