RSS Feed It’s that time of year where we all get to see what our favorite music and artists are and what that says about our listening habits and even our personalities! While some of us may end up a little embarrassed by the results, from our favorite song to our supposed “listening age," Amy and T.J. waited until recording this episode to discover what their Spotify Wrapped revealed, and the results are hilarious.

Speaker 1: Hey that folks. It is Thursday, December fourth, one of the most exciting days of the year for you music fans. I say you music fans. We we count ourselves among the huge music fans who've been waiting all year for this Spotify rapped to drop, and we have not seen ours yet. We've been waiting for this podcast to reveal it. And with that, welcome to this episode of Amy and TJ. This is a cultural event. Now, congratulations of Spotify with what they've created.
00:00:35
Speaker 2: They did a great job on this. It's funny.
00:00:37
Speaker 3: I didn't realize, but it used to be called like your Year in music, and then they decided to make it fun and snazzy and say rapped, And so now every year it's always exciting and slightly embarrassing, I must say, because I don't think a lot of us realize how much we listen to certain kinds of music, and then when it's in our face undeniable, the data doesn't lie. You have to lean into what your favorite song artist is and maybe it isn't what's cool or what you think your friends are listening to as well, So there's a little bit of potential embarrassment.
00:01:14
Speaker 1: Wow, you're at pleasure.
00:01:17
Speaker 3: It's that kind of a thing where you maybe don't want people to know, and yet you can't deny it because it's right there.
00:01:23
Speaker 1: Do you want to rethink? We don't have to share if you don't want to.
00:01:27
Speaker 3: This is gonna have plenty of things to be embarrassed about. This is not among them.
00:01:31
Speaker 1: What are the others? Okay, folks, I'm sure you've seen, you've heard, you've checked out your own probably by now, But yes, Spotify has been doing this for the past decade or so where they give you a whole recap of what your year was, what you listened to, who you listen to most. Now they keep upgrading and adding new features. The fun one from this year that I got from Sabine, my twelve year old. Spotify told her she's a thirty year old music listener.
00:01:56
Speaker 3: Yes, so you get your listening age based on the genres and decades of music that you listened to, So yes, she might like a few I think.
00:02:07
Speaker 2: Didn't she say that?
00:02:08
Speaker 3: They told her she liked things in the aughts, like in the early two thousands, and because of that.
00:02:14
Speaker 2: They were saying, you're listening age is thirty.
00:02:16
Speaker 1: Yes. The other new thing this year and she showed me this of hers. It shows you, like your most memorable music moments, like it gives you a day that you listen to more music than I think I might even have the particular artists. And when we were doing it with Sabine, it showed we mapped it back. Oh that was that day a plain on that day, last.
00:02:38
Speaker 3: Day of school, that kind of a thing, the Kendrick Lamora concert. So there were days where you listened to more an artist more than any other. All of that, and it also I believe this is the first time this year because I don't recall this before and I don't know if this is going to show up. But it gives you your most listened to podcast. It tells you any audiobooks you were listening to. Of course you have to listen to that through the Spotify app, which I don't necessarily do. So I have no idea what's in store for what I because I think I just listened to music on Spotify.
00:03:11
Speaker 1: I certainly, yeah, nothing is going to rate. It's going to be all music for us now. It also, of course put together the biggest artists and songs and albums of the year. None of those are surprised. Nothing necessarily jumped out. I mean, you said, the biggest artists in the world, Bad Bunny, Taylor, Swift, The Weekend, Drake, Billie Eilis, Kendrick Lamar, Bruno, mars Ariana Grande. I mean, we get it. So no surprise is there in the top songs and the top albums for the most part, belong to all those folks. Yes, the one top album was the K Pop Demon Hunters.
00:03:41
Speaker 2: That was a little shocking.
00:03:42
Speaker 1: Really, it makes sense to me now.
00:03:45
Speaker 2: I understand.
00:03:45
Speaker 3: We hear that, we see the box office numbers, we see what Netflix has done with this, and it's still shocking because I have zero connection to it, never seen it, don't know one song from it. And to think that I'm so out of touch with the world when it comes to a fin on like that, it's that's just interesting.
00:04:02
Speaker 1: And the top songs, Global Songs of the Year, this I would have to say, you contribute it to that die with a smile.
00:04:08
Speaker 3: I have played that song on repeat, and so does Annaly's. There was a period where the two of us were just back and forth in our rooms playing the song over and over and over again.
00:04:17
Speaker 1: For the year folks. That song was the top song in the world that was listened to on Spotify. After that, Birds of a Feather was big for you.
00:04:26
Speaker 2: I love that song. It's just such a good vibe.
00:04:29
Speaker 1: After that, you didn't even know this one from Rose and Bruno Mars ap t.
00:04:34
Speaker 3: T I said, what are they saying? And you're like, I think apartment, I'll meet you at the app TEP. I don't even know how to say it.
00:04:41
Speaker 1: The top podcast we're throwing Joe Rogan experience. No surprise there, he's big there. But the top Us Artists was different. So they have a list of the most listened to artists in the world, but the most listened to artists within our borders. Taylor Swift, Drake, Morgan Wallen, Kendrick Lamar and then Bad Bunch.
00:05:00
Speaker 2: That's a little surprising. I actually was surprised to see Morgan Wallin in there. He certainly made a lot of headlines, but apparently got a lot of downloads.
00:05:08
Speaker 1: And making a lot of music. He was He's been a streaming behemoth for a long time. And the top Us songs that list was a little different. Die with the Smile was number two. The only other song I would argue maybe that you liked more than that one was Luther There's number one.
00:05:23
Speaker 3: I love that song again, a great vibe. It could fit any mood. I love love, love love both of those songs. They also do note this, and I know you'll be sad about this, bab because they basically accumulate all of this music up until late November. I believe your music habits from mid November through the end of the year December basically aren't counted in these So holiday music gets a big like snub basically when it comes to this.
00:05:50
Speaker 2: So all of your.
00:05:51
Speaker 3: Favorite holiday hits would never be included because they don't. They don't take into account December when we're all listening to our favorite bing Crosby Frank Sinacha trying to mess.
00:06:02
Speaker 1: Up the list though, wouldn't it. It would because.
00:06:04
Speaker 3: You play those on repeat in a way you wouldn't other music. So I guess it all makes sense.
00:06:08
Speaker 1: One time of year, and you do it in December, the list might be Mariah Carey.
00:06:13
Speaker 2: Actually, you're right here, Dug.
00:06:16
Speaker 3: That would totally skew everything in the wrong way.
00:06:20
Speaker 2: I guess it's for the.
00:06:21
Speaker 1: Best, all right, So you're ready to do this we have all we have not we have upset other family members because we say we refuse to show you ours until we do it right here live on the episode. You're ready, My mind says it's time for your twenty twenty five wrapped. Let's go what you have?

00:07:08
Speaker 2: Next up, I listened to two hundred and thirty one genres.

Speaker 1: Wait, I have what does it say that tastes like yours? Can't be defined? But let's try anyway, that's what says. I says, I have three hundred and fifty eight. Would you have two hundred and thirty one. You gotta branch out, baby, your topre genres. This is gonna she's embarrassed already. This is what we're talking.

00:09:20
Speaker 1: Oh that is embarrassing, Rose, because.
00:09:26
Speaker 3: It says, since you were into music from the late seventies, you're an old soul. And I do love music from the late seventies. That is probably my favorite decade.
00:09:34
Speaker 1: I'm dating sixty six year old music lover. Here's the problem, baby, what's your My age is twenty one? We are not compatible musically.
00:09:48
Speaker 3: We already knew this, though. I actually do like a lot of your music. You hate most of mine. That is the difference.
00:09:56
Speaker 1: Well, when we start doing some deep dives into culture. You more aboard with some of my stuff than I do. When we start branching.
00:10:03
Speaker 3: Out, I would say I like almost all music. I just don't like EDM.
00:10:08
Speaker 1: Since you were into music from the early twenty twenties, your taste is trending. That's what it says about mind. That is the way to say about your under.
00:10:15
Speaker 3: The mind says, since you were into music from the late seventies, you're an old soul.
00:10:20
Speaker 1: You listen to two eight hundred and eighty two songs this year. TJ. Holmes, what does yours say?
00:10:26
Speaker 3: You listen to one three hundred and sixty four cents this year because you are our DJ. If you weren't in the house, I would have been playing so much of the music. I basically, when you leave, I'll go put on my yacht rock or when I'm walking and put it on my air But we're together so often I'm not even using my AirPods that much because we're talking.
00:10:46
Speaker 1: That's a funny thing to admit a lot of people. When my spouse leaves out blank blank blank, you I go put on yacht rock.
00:10:52
Speaker 2: That is what I do.
00:10:54
Speaker 1: Okay, now it's asking me to guess what my number one song is, and it's giving me options to make a pick. Yes, swipe up.
00:11:00
Speaker 3: Okay, what are your options?
00:11:04
Speaker 1: I got Ordinary by Alex Warren. Uh, post Malone, I had some help. That means Caroline by my girl Rachel Platton.
00:11:14
Speaker 2: That's funny.
00:11:15
Speaker 1: I love that. Worth It by Ray and Miles on It by Marshmallow and Kane Brown. That one surprises me.
00:11:23
Speaker 2: All right, which one do you think it is?
00:11:25
Speaker 1: Uh? I'm going with Rachel Platten Okay, and post Malone was played most ordinary? No, I had some help.
00:11:37
Speaker 2: Oh, I had some help. I had some help. Yeah, that is a good song.
00:11:41
Speaker 1: Okay, it only says I listened to it eighty five times though, doesn't see that doesn't seem like it.
00:11:47
Speaker 2: Does seem like a lot.
00:11:48
Speaker 3: I would have guessed your number one played song in the last two months has been boots on around for sure. All Right, mine are to choose from Birds of a Feather that's worth It, Die with the Smile Luther or Bad Dreams by Teddy Swintz.
00:12:03
Speaker 1: Now the smile, Die.
00:12:05
Speaker 2: With the Smiles. What you think I'm gonna go with worth It?
00:12:08
Speaker 3: Because I played that song a lot, so it's been recent so I'm gonna guess worth it.
00:12:12
Speaker 2: Nope, Birds of a Feather.
00:12:14
Speaker 3: You like that song that minds us failure build's character When I got it wrong.
00:12:20
Speaker 1: The order was I had some help, then Miles on It, then Ordinary, then Caroline Love You Rachel Pladden. Okay, Caroline is the song. It was my fourth most listened to song. That's awesome of the year. If you all don't know it, it's her and Michael Bolton and it's not maybe a song that most people know of her, It's Caroline check it out. And then Ray's worth It was number five for that.
00:12:42
Speaker 3: That's amazing. I listened to Birds of a Feather fifty eight times. My number two was worth it by Ray, number three Die with a Smile Lady Gaga, number four Luthor, and number five Bad Dreams.
00:12:54
Speaker 1: All right now, it just gives your top how many albums you listen to? You have to scroll up a couple of times, say you listen to how many?
00:13:04
Speaker 2: I listened to six albums this year?
00:13:06
Speaker 3: Hey, I got go ahead because they say you have to listen to like seventy percent of an album for it to be considered so okay.
00:13:13
Speaker 1: Well I got fifteen.
00:13:15
Speaker 2: Oh that's so funny.
00:13:19
Speaker 1: What was your top album?
00:13:20
Speaker 3: My top album was Sunset Boulevard by Andrew Lloyd Webber. I listened to it for one hundred and fifty one.
00:13:25
Speaker 2: Minutes because I went to go see that musical.
00:13:27
Speaker 1: It's my sixty six year old friend.
00:13:30
Speaker 2: Bullard was yours?
00:13:32
Speaker 1: What do you think? Gen X? Kendrick Lamar's that's a fairly easy one.
00:13:38
Speaker 3: Go ahead, you're gonna laugh. So Sunset Boulevard was my number one. My number two was The Color Purple, another Broadway musical that I love. Okay, I don't even know how I got What is Levels by Louis Zong, Cozy by Louis Zong and Dogs by Louis Zong.
00:13:53
Speaker 1: I don't know what's going on you.
00:13:54
Speaker 2: I don't know what that is.
00:13:56
Speaker 1: I got two musicals on mine on my top five albums, Hamilton, That'll make it to you, Hamilton is not there? Number one gen X, we just said. Number two Nico Moon, good time, that makes sense. We live to a lot of him. Number three was Rachel Pladden, Actually I am Rachel Platten. Number four Disney snow White.
00:14:12
Speaker 2: That's hilarious.
00:14:14
Speaker 1: How many times Where the Good Things Grow?
00:14:16
Speaker 2: You were playing that a nausea, and then.
00:14:19
Speaker 1: Number five on my list was six the musical the musical God Sabine. Last year was it Christmas sif going to that musical? Five extra Special? I don't know these were five extra I.
00:14:31
Speaker 2: Don't know artists.
00:14:32
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's trying to show me a little race of a seven day streak. We don't have time for that.
00:14:37
Speaker 2: We don't have time for that because right now Teddy Swims is winning online right.
00:14:40
Speaker 1: Now, Oh man, it's giving me my number one artist in terms of albums and how many minutes I listen to an au. Yeah, I'm surprised Nico.
00:14:48
Speaker 2: Moon mine's Teddy Swims.
00:14:49
Speaker 1: That makes sense. A lot of people might not even know who Nico Moon is.
00:14:53
Speaker 2: I don't think about.
00:14:54
Speaker 1: He's a pop country kind of singing. Every song will make you feel like you want to go to a beach of me.
00:15:00
Speaker 2: It's so true.
00:15:01
Speaker 1: Every vibe he has if.
00:15:03
Speaker 3: Yeah, if you're kind of in a if you're kind of in a funk, it'll it'll bring you out of it because he talks about heartache as so many country music artists do, but with a twang, with a twist, with a little bit of fun, and I love it so My top artists were Teddy Swims number one, Ray number two, James Morrison number three, Morgan Wallen number four, and Lady God Got number five.
00:15:25
Speaker 1: Okay, now you're gonna love what's coming on. I'm gonna just croll down. It tells you, it gives you kind It says all of your listening made you part of something bigger. And then it puts you into a particular category. Have you made it to that yet?
00:15:39
Speaker 2: I just got to it.
00:15:40
Speaker 1: Okay. Now I don't know what club you're in. Does it say club something? Don't tell me what it is though, yes, okay, and then it gives you a role. Okay, so stay here, folks, we when we come back, explain what made Robes just drop her jaw. I am watching her do this. As we continue to go through what are twenty twenty five Spotify Rapped says about us? We continue this fun conversation about Spotify rap. We are seeing ours for the first time. Right now, we've gone to the point where it says which club do you belong to? It says you're part of something bigger based on your listening habits. Now, Robes, I was looking at mine. I was a little surprised. I didn't know about this feature. You looked at yours and you made all kinds of faces, and I don't exactly know why.
00:16:32
Speaker 3: I was just surprised, but it makes total sense. So the graphic is a sun like a sunshine, and I'm club seratonin, okay, and my role loyalist. You rarely skip tracks, confirming your unwavering dedication to the club.
00:16:48
Speaker 1: Wow, what is yours? We're in the same club, but my role leader.
00:16:55
Speaker 2: That totally makes sense.
00:16:56
Speaker 1: Your listening is strongly aligned with club values, making you a perfect role model, is what it says.
00:17:03
Speaker 2: Well, if you're the leader and I'm the loyalist, I feel like we make a good team.
00:17:06
Speaker 1: Great company says eighteen percent of global listeners are in this club. How about your same Oh yeah, you are in the same club.
00:17:12
Speaker 2: We're in the same club.
00:17:13
Speaker 1: Oh my god, exciting victory lap.
00:17:17
Speaker 3: Look it says your club favorites and these are things we both listened to. Megan Trainer, Kenny Chesney, Sabrina Carpenter, Nico Moon, Old Dominion Toto.
00:17:25
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I don't know what that is there. And we pulled some of your files just in case I don't know what this means at the end, Oh, here it is. Take a look at more highlights your repeat heavy day June twenty fourth. What does this tell me? My file says the day turned into midnight into a country rap echo chamber.
00:17:52
Speaker 2: Wait what day was that?
00:17:54
Speaker 1: June twenty fourth?
00:17:55
Speaker 2: My biggest music listening day was June twenty sixth?
00:17:58
Speaker 1: Where were we?
00:17:59
Speaker 2: I was trying to take that out.
00:18:00
Speaker 1: It said you cycled Blanco Brown, Alex Warren, Fat Joe on repeat, get it popping and bloodline We're going NonStop. Yeah, it gives me a whole What were we do in June twenty fourth?
00:18:13
Speaker 2: I don't know? Wait, what was the name of that day? For you?
00:18:17
Speaker 1: It's repeat heavy day?
00:18:19
Speaker 2: I have, most energetic day.
00:18:20
Speaker 1: Biggest music listening day was August first? Where were we.
00:18:25
Speaker 3: August first? I don't My biggest music listening was June twenty sixth. Huh, I have to go look on the calendar to go yours is August first.
00:18:33
Speaker 1: Now I'm very curious. A lot of these say overnight, I guess I'm up late. Beg Stevie Wonder, Sam Cooks in the hours, Drake Knwell, that was a big day, most diverse day. Do you have all that most nostalgic day, most energetic day.
00:18:46
Speaker 3: Fine are different. I have an energetic day. So August first, we were heading to go to mon Talk. So I don't know if you play in the car yep, yep, you were probably the DJ in the car, and so that makes the most sense on that.
00:19:00
Speaker 1: Most diverse day was September eleventh.
00:19:03
Speaker 3: The hell that about most diverse day? Okay, my divorce divorce day. Diverse day was March fourteenth.
00:19:11
Speaker 1: This nostalgic day October sixteenth? What were we doing?
00:19:15
Speaker 2: Which day?
00:19:16
Speaker 1: October sixteenth?
00:19:17
Speaker 2: Who knows?
00:19:18
Speaker 3: Yeah?
00:19:18
Speaker 2: I love this from Sunrise.
00:19:19
Speaker 3: You zigzag through pop, soul, country, disco, and yacht rock. Each hour a news song sound by evening, soft rock and oldies took over with Bruney, Bruno, Mars and Lady Yeah, the Weather Girls and Michael Boubla.
00:19:33
Speaker 2: This is so weather Girls that I don't even know who the Weather Girls are.
00:19:38
Speaker 1: And then it just wraps up. You can do this rapt party where you uh friands a new feature they have. But this is fun if you sit down and do this with somebody else. But that is one of the things you get that gets revealed. Ropes you and I have very different listening habits. We've been talking about putting together a podcast for the longest because you and I have almost fallen out of our chairs at each other. What you don't know that song? What do you mean you don't know that artist? You never heard this before? And it is real, like genuinely never heard of things that are the biggest hits in your world.
00:20:08
Speaker 3: Correct things that bring and take you straight back to pivotal moments in your life, and you don't even know not only this song, you don't know the artist, You've never heard it before. Yes, we have that in each of our lives, in like jaw dropping moments. It happens at least once a week where we're like, are you kidding me? You don't know this song?
00:20:27
Speaker 1: I guess it makes sense now since you're a sixty six year old listener and I'm twenty one. That is obviously the highlight of Spotify Rapped for us, folks. We encourage you please sit down and do this with somebody. It's absolutely hilarious and again, Spotify, well well done. To the point, robes, don't we always complain about people spying on us, collecting information about us don't. We always complain that they are just taking and they know all of our habits, and wow, here we are. Now somebody found a way to use it in a way we appreciate.
00:20:57
Speaker 2: Isn't that so true?
00:20:58
Speaker 3: Someone wrote this, They said in instead of feeling like we're under surveillance, we all talk about data tracking. Nobody wants a company to know our habits, right. It feels weird like Big Brother. But Spotify has found a way instead of feeling like you're under surveillance, you feel seen, you feel understood, and they are smart. It's like a dopamine hit. When you go in here, it's like almost like reading your horoscope. You get to find out something that makes you tick, or something about yourself that maybe you didn't know, because collectively it tells a story.
00:21:30
Speaker 1: And I learned something about the one I'm with as well, you can learn something about everybody in your group. Sixty six twenty one, sixty twenty one.
00:21:39
Speaker 2: I don't know who should be more embarrassed means I'm not embarrassed.
00:21:42
Speaker 1: I'm current. Is that I'm supposed to embarrassed. I'm current. That's all right, folks. We always appreciate you spending some time with us for my dear sixty six year old Andy Robot. I'm the young buck d j Owens. We will talk to y'all soon.
Speaker 1: Hey that folks. It is Thursday, December fourth, one of the most exciting days of the year for you music fans. I say you music fans. We we count ourselves among the huge music fans who've been waiting all year for this Spotify rapped to drop, and we have not seen ours yet. We've been waiting for this podcast to reveal it. And with that, welcome to this episode of Amy and TJ. This is a cultural event. Now, congratulations of Spotify with what they've created.
00:00:35
Speaker 2: They did a great job on this. It's funny.
00:00:37
Speaker 3: I didn't realize, but it used to be called like your Year in music, and then they decided to make it fun and snazzy and say rapped, And so now every year it's always exciting and slightly embarrassing, I must say, because I don't think a lot of us realize how much we listen to certain kinds of music, and then when it's in our face undeniable, the data doesn't lie. You have to lean into what your favorite song artist is and maybe it isn't what's cool or what you think your friends are listening to as well, So there's a little bit of potential embarrassment.
00:01:14
Speaker 1: Wow, you're at pleasure.
00:01:17
Speaker 3: It's that kind of a thing where you maybe don't want people to know, and yet you can't deny it because it's right there.
00:01:23
Speaker 1: Do you want to rethink? We don't have to share if you don't want to.
00:01:27
Speaker 3: This is gonna have plenty of things to be embarrassed about. This is not among them.
00:01:31
Speaker 1: What are the others? Okay, folks, I'm sure you've seen, you've heard, you've checked out your own probably by now, But yes, Spotify has been doing this for the past decade or so where they give you a whole recap of what your year was, what you listened to, who you listen to most. Now they keep upgrading and adding new features. The fun one from this year that I got from Sabine, my twelve year old. Spotify told her she's a thirty year old music listener.
00:01:56
Speaker 3: Yes, so you get your listening age based on the genres and decades of music that you listened to, So yes, she might like a few I think.
00:02:07
Speaker 2: Didn't she say that?
00:02:08
Speaker 3: They told her she liked things in the aughts, like in the early two thousands, and because of that.
00:02:14
Speaker 2: They were saying, you're listening age is thirty.
00:02:16
Speaker 1: Yes. The other new thing this year and she showed me this of hers. It shows you, like your most memorable music moments, like it gives you a day that you listen to more music than I think I might even have the particular artists. And when we were doing it with Sabine, it showed we mapped it back. Oh that was that day a plain on that day, last.
00:02:38
Speaker 3: Day of school, that kind of a thing, the Kendrick Lamora concert. So there were days where you listened to more an artist more than any other. All of that, and it also I believe this is the first time this year because I don't recall this before and I don't know if this is going to show up. But it gives you your most listened to podcast. It tells you any audiobooks you were listening to. Of course you have to listen to that through the Spotify app, which I don't necessarily do. So I have no idea what's in store for what I because I think I just listened to music on Spotify.
00:03:11
Speaker 1: I certainly, yeah, nothing is going to rate. It's going to be all music for us now. It also, of course put together the biggest artists and songs and albums of the year. None of those are surprised. Nothing necessarily jumped out. I mean, you said, the biggest artists in the world, Bad Bunny, Taylor, Swift, The Weekend, Drake, Billie Eilis, Kendrick Lamar, Bruno, mars Ariana Grande. I mean, we get it. So no surprise is there in the top songs and the top albums for the most part, belong to all those folks. Yes, the one top album was the K Pop Demon Hunters.
00:03:41
Speaker 2: That was a little shocking.
00:03:42
Speaker 1: Really, it makes sense to me now.
00:03:45
Speaker 2: I understand.
00:03:45
Speaker 3: We hear that, we see the box office numbers, we see what Netflix has done with this, and it's still shocking because I have zero connection to it, never seen it, don't know one song from it. And to think that I'm so out of touch with the world when it comes to a fin on like that, it's that's just interesting.
00:04:02
Speaker 1: And the top songs, Global Songs of the Year, this I would have to say, you contribute it to that die with a smile.
00:04:08
Speaker 3: I have played that song on repeat, and so does Annaly's. There was a period where the two of us were just back and forth in our rooms playing the song over and over and over again.
00:04:17
Speaker 1: For the year folks. That song was the top song in the world that was listened to on Spotify. After that, Birds of a Feather was big for you.
00:04:26
Speaker 2: I love that song. It's just such a good vibe.
00:04:29
Speaker 1: After that, you didn't even know this one from Rose and Bruno Mars ap t.
00:04:34
Speaker 3: T I said, what are they saying? And you're like, I think apartment, I'll meet you at the app TEP. I don't even know how to say it.
00:04:41
Speaker 1: The top podcast we're throwing Joe Rogan experience. No surprise there, he's big there. But the top Us Artists was different. So they have a list of the most listened to artists in the world, but the most listened to artists within our borders. Taylor Swift, Drake, Morgan Wallen, Kendrick Lamar and then Bad Bunch.
00:05:00
Speaker 2: That's a little surprising. I actually was surprised to see Morgan Wallin in there. He certainly made a lot of headlines, but apparently got a lot of downloads.
00:05:08
Speaker 1: And making a lot of music. He was He's been a streaming behemoth for a long time. And the top Us songs that list was a little different. Die with the Smile was number two. The only other song I would argue maybe that you liked more than that one was Luther There's number one.
00:05:23
Speaker 3: I love that song again, a great vibe. It could fit any mood. I love love, love love both of those songs. They also do note this, and I know you'll be sad about this, bab because they basically accumulate all of this music up until late November. I believe your music habits from mid November through the end of the year December basically aren't counted in these So holiday music gets a big like snub basically when it comes to this.
00:05:50
Speaker 2: So all of your.
00:05:51
Speaker 3: Favorite holiday hits would never be included because they don't. They don't take into account December when we're all listening to our favorite bing Crosby Frank Sinacha trying to mess.
00:06:02
Speaker 1: Up the list though, wouldn't it. It would because.
00:06:04
Speaker 3: You play those on repeat in a way you wouldn't other music. So I guess it all makes sense.
00:06:08
Speaker 1: One time of year, and you do it in December, the list might be Mariah Carey.
00:06:13
Speaker 2: Actually, you're right here, Dug.
00:06:16
Speaker 3: That would totally skew everything in the wrong way.
00:06:20
Speaker 2: I guess it's for the.
00:06:21
Speaker 1: Best, all right, So you're ready to do this we have all we have not we have upset other family members because we say we refuse to show you ours until we do it right here live on the episode. You're ready, My mind says it's time for your twenty twenty five wrapped. Let's go what you have?
00:06:35
Speaker 2: I have, get yours?
00:06:36
Speaker 1: All right, let's do this all right? I just clicked. First thing comes up. Oh, okay, you're gonna I gotta turn my music now? Are they going to take this down because we don't have the rights to play that song? Swipe up for morey you listened? We counted, all right? When the same spot do we keep scrolling up? I guess yep, all right, you listened for how many minutes?
00:06:56
Speaker 2: Twelve seventy seven.
00:06:58
Speaker 1: Thirty thousand, seven hundred eighty three.
00:07:00
Speaker 2: You are DJ. So that's eight days of music.
00:07:03
Speaker 1: For me, twenty one days music for me. Okay, we see how this goes.
00:07:08
Speaker 2: Next up, I listened to two hundred and thirty one genres.
00:07:12
Speaker 1: Wait, I have what does it say that tastes like yours? Can't be defined? But let's try anyway, that's what says. I says, I have three hundred and fifty eight. Would you have two hundred and thirty one. You gotta branch out, baby, your topre genres. This is gonna she's embarrassed already. This is what we're talking.
00:07:30
Speaker 3: No.
00:07:30

00:08:49

Speaker 2: My listening age is sixty six.
00:09:20
Speaker 1: Oh that is embarrassing, Rose, because.
00:09:26
Speaker 3: It says, since you were into music from the late seventies, you're an old soul. And I do love music from the late seventies. That is probably my favorite decade.
00:09:34
Speaker 1: I'm dating sixty six year old music lover. Here's the problem, baby, what's your My age is twenty one? We are not compatible musically.
00:09:48
Speaker 3: We already knew this, though. I actually do like a lot of your music. You hate most of mine. That is the difference.
00:09:56
Speaker 1: Well, when we start doing some deep dives into culture. You more aboard with some of my stuff than I do. When we start branching.
00:10:03
Speaker 3: Out, I would say I like almost all music. I just don't like EDM.
00:10:08
Speaker 1: Since you were into music from the early twenty twenties, your taste is trending. That's what it says about mind. That is the way to say about your under.
00:10:15
Speaker 3: The mind says, since you were into music from the late seventies, you're an old soul.
00:10:20
Speaker 1: You listen to two eight hundred and eighty two songs this year. TJ. Holmes, what does yours say?
00:10:26
Speaker 3: You listen to one three hundred and sixty four cents this year because you are our DJ. If you weren't in the house, I would have been playing so much of the music. I basically, when you leave, I'll go put on my yacht rock or when I'm walking and put it on my air But we're together so often I'm not even using my AirPods that much because we're talking.
00:10:46
Speaker 1: That's a funny thing to admit a lot of people. When my spouse leaves out blank blank blank, you I go put on yacht rock.
00:10:52
Speaker 2: That is what I do.
00:10:54
Speaker 1: Okay, now it's asking me to guess what my number one song is, and it's giving me options to make a pick. Yes, swipe up.
00:11:00
Speaker 3: Okay, what are your options?
00:11:04
Speaker 1: I got Ordinary by Alex Warren. Uh, post Malone, I had some help. That means Caroline by my girl Rachel Platton.
00:11:14
Speaker 2: That's funny.
00:11:15
Speaker 1: I love that. Worth It by Ray and Miles on It by Marshmallow and Kane Brown. That one surprises me.
00:11:23
Speaker 2: All right, which one do you think it is?
00:11:25
Speaker 1: Uh? I'm going with Rachel Platten Okay, and post Malone was played most ordinary? No, I had some help.
00:11:37
Speaker 2: Oh, I had some help. I had some help. Yeah, that is a good song.
00:11:41
Speaker 1: Okay, it only says I listened to it eighty five times though, doesn't see that doesn't seem like it.
00:11:47
Speaker 2: Does seem like a lot.
00:11:48
Speaker 3: I would have guessed your number one played song in the last two months has been boots on around for sure. All Right, mine are to choose from Birds of a Feather that's worth It, Die with the Smile Luther or Bad Dreams by Teddy Swintz.
00:12:03
Speaker 1: Now the smile, Die.
00:12:05
Speaker 2: With the Smiles. What you think I'm gonna go with worth It?
00:12:08
Speaker 3: Because I played that song a lot, so it's been recent so I'm gonna guess worth it.
00:12:12
Speaker 2: Nope, Birds of a Feather.
00:12:14
Speaker 3: You like that song that minds us failure build's character When I got it wrong.
00:12:20
Speaker 1: The order was I had some help, then Miles on It, then Ordinary, then Caroline Love You Rachel Pladden. Okay, Caroline is the song. It was my fourth most listened to song. That's awesome of the year. If you all don't know it, it's her and Michael Bolton and it's not maybe a song that most people know of her, It's Caroline check it out. And then Ray's worth It was number five for that.
00:12:42
Speaker 3: That's amazing. I listened to Birds of a Feather fifty eight times. My number two was worth it by Ray, number three Die with a Smile Lady Gaga, number four Luthor, and number five Bad Dreams.
00:12:54
Speaker 1: All right now, it just gives your top how many albums you listen to? You have to scroll up a couple of times, say you listen to how many?
00:13:04
Speaker 2: I listened to six albums this year?
00:13:06
Speaker 3: Hey, I got go ahead because they say you have to listen to like seventy percent of an album for it to be considered so okay.
00:13:13
Speaker 1: Well I got fifteen.
00:13:15
Speaker 2: Oh that's so funny.
00:13:19
Speaker 1: What was your top album?
00:13:20
Speaker 3: My top album was Sunset Boulevard by Andrew Lloyd Webber. I listened to it for one hundred and fifty one.
00:13:25
Speaker 2: Minutes because I went to go see that musical.
00:13:27
Speaker 1: It's my sixty six year old friend.
00:13:30
Speaker 2: Bullard was yours?
00:13:32
Speaker 1: What do you think? Gen X? Kendrick Lamar's that's a fairly easy one.
00:13:38
Speaker 3: Go ahead, you're gonna laugh. So Sunset Boulevard was my number one. My number two was The Color Purple, another Broadway musical that I love. Okay, I don't even know how I got What is Levels by Louis Zong, Cozy by Louis Zong and Dogs by Louis Zong.
00:13:53
Speaker 1: I don't know what's going on you.
00:13:54
Speaker 2: I don't know what that is.
00:13:56
Speaker 1: I got two musicals on mine on my top five albums, Hamilton, That'll make it to you, Hamilton is not there? Number one gen X, we just said. Number two Nico Moon, good time, that makes sense. We live to a lot of him. Number three was Rachel Pladden, Actually I am Rachel Platten. Number four Disney snow White.
00:14:12
Speaker 2: That's hilarious.
00:14:14
Speaker 1: How many times Where the Good Things Grow?
00:14:16
Speaker 2: You were playing that a nausea, and then.
00:14:19
Speaker 1: Number five on my list was six the musical the musical God Sabine. Last year was it Christmas sif going to that musical? Five extra Special? I don't know these were five extra I.
00:14:31
Speaker 2: Don't know artists.
00:14:32
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's trying to show me a little race of a seven day streak. We don't have time for that.
00:14:37
Speaker 2: We don't have time for that because right now Teddy Swims is winning online right.
00:14:40
Speaker 1: Now, Oh man, it's giving me my number one artist in terms of albums and how many minutes I listen to an au. Yeah, I'm surprised Nico.
00:14:48
Speaker 2: Moon mine's Teddy Swims.
00:14:49
Speaker 1: That makes sense. A lot of people might not even know who Nico Moon is.
00:14:53
Speaker 2: I don't think about.
00:14:54
Speaker 1: He's a pop country kind of singing. Every song will make you feel like you want to go to a beach of me.
00:15:00
Speaker 2: It's so true.
00:15:01
Speaker 1: Every vibe he has if.
00:15:03
Speaker 3: Yeah, if you're kind of in a if you're kind of in a funk, it'll it'll bring you out of it because he talks about heartache as so many country music artists do, but with a twang, with a twist, with a little bit of fun, and I love it so My top artists were Teddy Swims number one, Ray number two, James Morrison number three, Morgan Wallen number four, and Lady God Got number five.
00:15:25
Speaker 1: Okay, now you're gonna love what's coming on. I'm gonna just croll down. It tells you, it gives you kind It says all of your listening made you part of something bigger. And then it puts you into a particular category. Have you made it to that yet?
00:15:39
Speaker 2: I just got to it.
00:15:40
Speaker 1: Okay. Now I don't know what club you're in. Does it say club something? Don't tell me what it is though, yes, okay, and then it gives you a role. Okay, so stay here, folks, we when we come back, explain what made Robes just drop her jaw. I am watching her do this. As we continue to go through what are twenty twenty five Spotify Rapped says about us? We continue this fun conversation about Spotify rap. We are seeing ours for the first time. Right now, we've gone to the point where it says which club do you belong to? It says you're part of something bigger based on your listening habits. Now, Robes, I was looking at mine. I was a little surprised. I didn't know about this feature. You looked at yours and you made all kinds of faces, and I don't exactly know why.
00:16:32
Speaker 3: I was just surprised, but it makes total sense. So the graphic is a sun like a sunshine, and I'm club seratonin, okay, and my role loyalist. You rarely skip tracks, confirming your unwavering dedication to the club.
00:16:48
Speaker 1: Wow, what is yours? We're in the same club, but my role leader.
00:16:55
Speaker 2: That totally makes sense.
00:16:56
Speaker 1: Your listening is strongly aligned with club values, making you a perfect role model, is what it says.
00:17:03
Speaker 2: Well, if you're the leader and I'm the loyalist, I feel like we make a good team.
00:17:06
Speaker 1: Great company says eighteen percent of global listeners are in this club. How about your same Oh yeah, you are in the same club.
00:17:12
Speaker 2: We're in the same club.
00:17:13
Speaker 1: Oh my god, exciting victory lap.
00:17:17
Speaker 3: Look it says your club favorites and these are things we both listened to. Megan Trainer, Kenny Chesney, Sabrina Carpenter, Nico Moon, Old Dominion Toto.
00:17:25
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I don't know what that is there. And we pulled some of your files just in case I don't know what this means at the end, Oh, here it is. Take a look at more highlights your repeat heavy day June twenty fourth. What does this tell me? My file says the day turned into midnight into a country rap echo chamber.
00:17:52
Speaker 2: Wait what day was that?
00:17:54
Speaker 1: June twenty fourth?
00:17:55
Speaker 2: My biggest music listening day was June twenty sixth?
00:17:58
Speaker 1: Where were we?
00:17:59
Speaker 2: I was trying to take that out.
00:18:00
Speaker 1: It said you cycled Blanco Brown, Alex Warren, Fat Joe on repeat, get it popping and bloodline We're going NonStop. Yeah, it gives me a whole What were we do in June twenty fourth?
00:18:13
Speaker 2: I don't know? Wait, what was the name of that day? For you?
00:18:17
Speaker 1: It's repeat heavy day?
00:18:19
Speaker 2: I have, most energetic day.
00:18:20
Speaker 1: Biggest music listening day was August first? Where were we.
00:18:25
Speaker 3: August first? I don't My biggest music listening was June twenty sixth. Huh, I have to go look on the calendar to go yours is August first.
00:18:33
Speaker 1: Now I'm very curious. A lot of these say overnight, I guess I'm up late. Beg Stevie Wonder, Sam Cooks in the hours, Drake Knwell, that was a big day, most diverse day. Do you have all that most nostalgic day, most energetic day.
00:18:46
Speaker 3: Fine are different. I have an energetic day. So August first, we were heading to go to mon Talk. So I don't know if you play in the car yep, yep, you were probably the DJ in the car, and so that makes the most sense on that.
00:19:00
Speaker 1: Most diverse day was September eleventh.
00:19:03
Speaker 3: The hell that about most diverse day? Okay, my divorce divorce day. Diverse day was March fourteenth.
00:19:11
Speaker 1: This nostalgic day October sixteenth? What were we doing?
00:19:15
Speaker 2: Which day?
00:19:16
Speaker 1: October sixteenth?
00:19:17
Speaker 2: Who knows?
00:19:18
Speaker 3: Yeah?
00:19:18
Speaker 2: I love this from Sunrise.
00:19:19
Speaker 3: You zigzag through pop, soul, country, disco, and yacht rock. Each hour a news song sound by evening, soft rock and oldies took over with Bruney, Bruno, Mars and Lady Yeah, the Weather Girls and Michael Boubla.
00:19:33
Speaker 2: This is so weather Girls that I don't even know who the Weather Girls are.
00:19:38
Speaker 1: And then it just wraps up. You can do this rapt party where you uh friands a new feature they have. But this is fun if you sit down and do this with somebody else. But that is one of the things you get that gets revealed. Ropes you and I have very different listening habits. We've been talking about putting together a podcast for the longest because you and I have almost fallen out of our chairs at each other. What you don't know that song? What do you mean you don't know that artist? You never heard this before? And it is real, like genuinely never heard of things that are the biggest hits in your world.
00:20:08
Speaker 3: Correct things that bring and take you straight back to pivotal moments in your life, and you don't even know not only this song, you don't know the artist, You've never heard it before. Yes, we have that in each of our lives, in like jaw dropping moments. It happens at least once a week where we're like, are you kidding me? You don't know this song?
00:20:27
Speaker 1: I guess it makes sense now since you're a sixty six year old listener and I'm twenty one. That is obviously the highlight of Spotify Rapped for us, folks. We encourage you please sit down and do this with somebody. It's absolutely hilarious and again, Spotify, well well done. To the point, robes, don't we always complain about people spying on us, collecting information about us don't. We always complain that they are just taking and they know all of our habits, and wow, here we are. Now somebody found a way to use it in a way we appreciate.
00:20:57
Speaker 2: Isn't that so true?
00:20:58
Speaker 3: Someone wrote this, They said in instead of feeling like we're under surveillance, we all talk about data tracking. Nobody wants a company to know our habits, right. It feels weird like Big Brother. But Spotify has found a way instead of feeling like you're under surveillance, you feel seen, you feel understood, and they are smart. It's like a dopamine hit. When you go in here, it's like almost like reading your horoscope. You get to find out something that makes you tick, or something about yourself that maybe you didn't know, because collectively it tells a story.
00:21:30
Speaker 1: And I learned something about the one I'm with as well, you can learn something about everybody in your group. Sixty six twenty one, sixty twenty one.
00:21:39
Speaker 2: I don't know who should be more embarrassed means I'm not embarrassed.
00:21:42
Speaker 1: I'm current. Is that I'm supposed to embarrassed. I'm current. That's all right, folks. We always appreciate you spending some time with us for my dear sixty six year old Andy Robot. I'm the young buck d j Owens. We will talk to y'all soon.
