Here are some more stats: Top 20 artists for each year I've been a last.fm member (not calendar years - those stats can be found in earlier journal entries).

Just like last year (and the year before that), it's time to compare the artist stats of this year to the previous one. The first number in parantheses is the position in the last year's top 50 and the second number in parantheses is the play count for past 12 months.

39 (50) The Doors 378 (+73)
41 (41) Lustmord 373 (+42)
42 (54) Ulver 366 (+78)
43 (40) Skinny Puppy 363 (+31)
44 (39) Joy Division 361 (+26)
45 (43) Sara 360 (+36)
46 (106) Dernière Volonté 358 (+182)
47 (53) Cabaret Voltaire 355 (+67)
48 (46) Woven Hand 352 (+40)
49 (47) Ladytron 348 (+37)
50 (59) Der Blutharsch 345 (+83)

Well, that was a boring year... at least looking at the changes in top 50. Everything was very static. The hottest climber of the year was Dernière Volonté by 60 positions straight to #46 outside of the 4th anniversary Top 100. Also Foetus and Ulver entered Top 50 for the first time. Cabaret Voltaire and Der Blutharsch returned after being absent from Top 50 for a while. The biggest mover that was in Top 50 last year was The Doors, up by 11 positions.

The static nature of my Top 50 is easy to explain because my listening habits have changed if the chart hasn't. I listen to a bigger amount of artists but a smaller amount of songs per artist. My overall listening amounts have stayed pretty much the same but now they are more divided between more bands. The same has happened to tracks a lot earlier: I rarely listen to a single track for a lot of times. This means that both my tracks and artist Top 50 charts aren't changing that much these days.

The overall charts are so static that sometimes I even think about resetting the statistics. But that would be a waste because I can set my default layout to show the stats for last 12 months which I think also represents my current taste in music a lot better. It's becoming more and more diverse each year, concentrating less and less on repetition of individual tracks or artists. It's also becoming less focused on ebm, futurepop and related genres, as you may even notice from the slight changes in positions of my top 50 artists.

On November 7th, just a few days from now, it will be exactly five years since I signed up with Audioscrobbler/Last.fm. In order to celebrate, I have planned several historical statistics posts. Here's the first, all the top artists and tracks for each month that I've been scrobbling. As for all stats that are based on weekly charts, the data is available only from February 2005 onwards.

Die verbannten Kinder Evas is an Austrian band combining the styles of dark ambient and darkwave with gothic imagery.

Ice Ages : Dark haunting industrial music
Far Gone Light


Lycia They forged a relentlessy dark and driving sound with a wall of shimmery guitars and keyboards, pounding drums, overlaid by Van Portfleet’s unmistakable whispery ghostly vocals.
