Sike. I'm the friend who was sending the Spotify Wrapped link to everyone waiting to see if I was going to hit them back with the clapping emoji or give them shit for having Drake as their #1 artist (you know you who are).
I had, at most, 3 people ask me what my top songs/artists were this year, including a threat from one of my friends if Phoebe Bridgers wasn't in that coveted list. Against all odds, she was not. To be completely honest, I'm not 100% confident in my results. I promise you I didn't have Blinding Lights on repeat all year but alas The Weeknd was featured on both my top songs and top artists.
Go ahead, roast me. Anyway, here are the rest.
I dropped a playlist below as well, including my #1 song of the year- Hello? by Clairo, a Blinding Lights (lol) cover by The Naked and Famous, and a brand new single Soft Spot by breakout artist Claud. Claud is actually represented by Phoebe Bridgers' new record label Saddest Factory Records, so it all comes full circle. Lastly, I will note my #1 artist this year, Jhene Aiko received her first Album of the Year Grammy nomination for Chilombo and if you haven't heard it yet, that's your homework.
Moving forward, I will probably be posting new playlists every other week or so, but this was a special week with the launch of this ~very exciting~ space & Spotify Wrapped blasting everyone with embarrassing data from the worst year of our lives. Couldn't leave my fans hanging.
*This is a mildly happy indie pop-ish playlist. If you're only here for the sad stuff, maybe try lightening it up a little with this one.
What's your opinion?
