Your Spotify Top 5 songs for 2021

ThebitterLemon · 26-12-2021 10:53PM #1

Let’s start slagging each other’s taste in music and give a clue to our ages:

I’ll start, Spotify tells me my top 5 most listened to songs were:

LA Woman (The Doors)
Orinoco Flow (Enya)
What I Am (Edie Brickel)
Dance Monkey (Tones and I)
Paranoid (Black Sabbath)

Pretty eclectic mix there…

Not a gangsta rapper in sight 🤣

Apart from Edie Brickell (love that song btw), your tastes are even more ancient than mine. Still, plenty of (grand)Dad Rock on my list: 😳

Dreams (Fleetwood Mac)
Where The Streets Have No Name (U2)
I Have a Love (For Those I Love)
the last great american dynasty (Taylor Swift)
Private Life (Pretenders)

('Bubbling under': Damo, The Police, Nickel Creek)

Ha, my toddler has RUINED my Spotify. Particularly since she has learned to say "Hey Google, play x"

Top songs of 2021:

1. That's how you know - enchanted

2. Belle - Beauty and the Beast

3. Gaston- beauty and the beast

4. Under the sea - little mermaid

5. Happy working song- enchanted.

She managed to sort of leave the top 3 artists untouched which were The Beatles, Emma Watson and Queen. I did say sort of.

SuspectZero · 27-12-2021 12:02AM

1. Royal Blood- Space

2 . Black Pistol Fire- Suffocation Blues

3. The War On Drugs- Comin' Through

4. Blue Stones- Rolling With The Punches

5. Lord Huron- Hurricane(johnie's Theme)

Something actually hip for the artifical hip brigade above me😋.

A Nation Once Again

2. Blinding Lights - The Weekend

3. Save Your Tears - The Weekend/Ariana Grande

4. One Dance - Drake

5. The Business - Tiesto

This reminds me of the playlist thread @shotgunmcos started earlier in the year (I think?), should have been included in the thread of the year list!

Call me Maybe - Carly Rae Jepsen
Roar - Katy Perry
Shut up and Dance - Walk the Moon
Just Give Me a Reason - Pink/Nate Ruess
Raise your Glass - Pink

Given I listen to Spotify only when I'm out walking or running and I choose from lists like 'songs to sing in the shower' or 'guilty pleasures' that's about right..

skyblue46 · 28-12-2021 06:57PM

1. Out Of The Blue (The The)

2. Santa Fe (The Waterboys)

3. Call me Maybe (Carly Rae Jepsen)

4. Heartbeats (The Knife)

5. **** You (Lily Allen)

The only defense I have for Call me Maybe was the great entertainment I got from the many covers released. The Miami Dolphin cheerleader cover and the subsequent version by cycling's Orica GreenEdge team hold pride of place in the memory bank. 🤣

1. Dilly - Band of Horses

2. Cecilia Ann - Pixies

3. Wide Open Space - Mansun

4. Part-Time Lover - Stevie Wonder

5. Do Not Abandon Hope - Barry McCormack

All these were on a playlist I mostly listened to when out running. No.5 is worth a listen if only for the fact that it was released in Oct or Nov 2019 and talks about a fictional pandemic.

Laineyfrecks · 29-12-2021 09:50PM

Belter - Gerry Cinnamon

Forever - Chris Brown

Grace - The Wolfe Tones

In my Life - The Beatles

Lost Without you - Freya Ridings

Happy with my top 5😊

Flaming June is such a great track, haven't listen to escm in a long time, it's overdue a play! And not just 20 minutes ago I was playing the Prodigy Experience to the kids along with some Orbital, little fluffy clouds and Voodoo Ray!

MisterJinx · 30-12-2021 10:23PM

My Spotify Algorithm has been destroyed by the kids as it's on our Alexa so I generally stick to soundcloud for longs plays however here are my top Spotify tracks that I can rescue out of the endless musical hits.....

It's a bit of an acquired taste!
