What Your Most Listened-To Artist Says About Your 2019
What music we're listening to can say a lot about the emotional and mental state we're in. Every year, Spotify tells its premium subscribers what songs, artists, and albums they listened to the most, and Apple Music also lets you view your listening data.
You probably have seen people sharing their stats on social media, but here's what it says about you if the artist you listened to most was...
Lizzo
You had a year of self-growth and spent much of your time learning to love yourself. You went through a lot of hard times and difficult situations, but learned your strength through them, emerging more confident at the end.
Harry Styles
You embraced the new things in your life this year and realized that change can be a very good thing. You focused on your passions, loved hard (even when it hurt) and didn't let the judgments of others stop you from doing what you wanted.
Ariana Grande
You went through 2019 with huge "Thank U, Next" energy. You let go of a lot of the negativity in your life, let yourself loosen up a little, and had fun without worrying about the long-term. You saw what you liked, and if you wanted it, you got it.
Post Malone
You live fast and party hard—or, at least you used to. If Post Malone was your top artist, you reached a point where you were forced to critically assess how you've been acting and consider the damage you've done while living your most chaotic and destructive life.
Taylor Swift
This year, you allowed yourself to be vulnerable for the first time in a long time, and while it was hard, it was a freeing experience. You let go of the things you couldn't control and instead focused on the positives in your life.
Megan Thee Stallion
You had a wild year girl, and I support every chaotic second of it. You worked your 9-5 and hit happy hour on the patio. You hyped yourself up to wear that dress you were always a little self-conscious in. You went hard, got messy, and it was exactly what you needed.
The Jonas Brothers
You had a pretty decent year. The highs weren't particularly high but the lows weren't even close to really being low, so you enjoyed the ride, had some fun, and just let yourself absorb the good vibes around you.
Lana Del Ray
If Lana Del Ray was your #1, you definitely were in a situation (or multiple) where you dated a guy that you knew was all wrong for you despite his allure until his sheer idiocy and emotional immaturity were too much. You hoped he'd be different; you were wrong.
Billie Eilish
If Billie Eilish is your #1 artist, you've probably been doing a lot of wild things, but a lot of it was driven by a desire to cover up your own negative feelings, whether they be attached to your relationships, yourself, or an existential crisis. Better times are coming, don't worry.
Drake
If you non-stop listened to Drake this year, then you definitely had too many flings with men who acted like they were deep, complex people but were really just softbois who like to gaslight you and dismiss your emotions.
Frank Ocean
The person you were into definitely stepped all over your feelings or just simply didn't reciprocate. Rather than manage your disappointment by cutting them off or being confrontational, you hid in your room and cried a lot. Been there, done that.
Cardi B
You hustled this year. You're an unapologetic, hardworking woman and you showed that through your unwavering confidence and commitment to improving yourself. You set your mind on a goal, whether it be in your personal life, career, or social life, and you worked to achieve it. We love to see it.
The Arctic Monkeys
There's two options for this: either you haven't really changed much since 2014, but you've found more people that connect with your energy or you went through an extensive period of change in your life where you allowed yourself to settle into your own skin and realized that imperfection isn't a flaw.
Hayley Kiyoko
You either just figured out that you like girls, or you've been going on a path of understanding and unpacking your sexuality and the experiences you've had around it. You're learning a lot about yourself and you have some serious frustrations, but are proud of your growth.
Brockhampton
You are surrounded by guys way too much. Maybe you have a big group of guy friends who love to control the aux cord at every party and in the car. Maybe you have a boyfriend who invites you to chill with his friends. The effect is the same.
The Weeknd
There are two very different reasons why this might have happened. First one is that you went through a very tumultuous breakup and have some complex feelings in the aftermath. The other is that you were very active, if you know what I mean (and good for you if you were).
Shawn Mendes
You were a hopeless romantic this year. You got a crush on someone you met and you spent a lot of time daydreaming about them when you should've been focusing on other stuff. Whether or not things worked out, you loved living in that fantasy and there's nothing wrong with that.
Halsey
You recently got out of a toxic relationship where you were mistreated, and now you're trying to unpack everything that happened and reflect on your experiences. It took a bit of time, but you're starting to feel like yourself again, and it's everything.
Lil Nas X
This year you leaned emotionally, psychologically, and spiritually into being a troll. There's nothing you love more than being on the inside of a joke and you flourished in the type of humor that fixates on being as ridiculous as possible.
Ed Sheeran
You're wholeheartedly in love with someone who makes you feel supported, happy, and fulfilled and you're deeply thankful for your partner. You're picturing a forever with them. That's good for you, but like, don't rub it in.
