so im like a week late and it's just for future me lol, but here is my spotify wrapped!
if i have a weird aura of light disappointment emanating mostly through the text bits I added, it's because i was baffled that so many albums that meant a lot to me throughout the year weren't on there.
but the truth is that my use of spotify itself dropped off a lot when i wasn't listening to at least two hours of it everyday on my work commute. i listened to folklore a million times the month it came out, but most of that was through my boyfriend's phone because he liked the album too, and we played it in car rides (his phone pairs to his car's speakers better than mine) as well as while we were painting our patio furniture.
so while i'd forgotten that selena gomez even had a 2020 album, she beat out other artists in numbers purely by being something i listened to on work commutes when it came out. it doesn't matter that that album didn't have the staying power in my mind as phoebe bridgers' album did -- it just comes down to numbers
for real, the albums that mean 2020 to me the MOST are probably Future Nostalgia - Dua Lipa, Heartbreak Weather - Niall Horan, CALM - 5SOS, Punisher - Phoebe Bridgers, Chromatica - Lady Gaga, Folklore - Taylor Swift, and DISCO - Kylie Minogue. (I almost made a video exclusively about how pitchfork's review of Kylie Minogue's album was bullshit (they gave her like a 5.9) and that they clearly didn't enjoy dancing or having fun, but then I got too busy to film it)
Albums like Selena's and Halsey's honestly feel too early in the year to feel part of the year.
Also for those who have checked out Mali-Koa's new debut album, the best song is def "Get it Wrong," right?
