I had previously documented my musical tastes from 2006-2015, I will now attempt something similar by analysing the Shuffleall playlist from 2015-2023 that I have. A lot of songs have been deleted by YouTube it seems like, also I stopped updating the playlist as much around 2023ish.
2016 - lots of Iggy Pop Post Rock Depression followed by classics, I think I was re-watching Reeling in the Years a lot again here
2017 - I started working in a tiny factory and the radio was always set to TodayFM so finally I would be up to date music-wise. Lorde, Harry Styles, Kygo, Kasabian, Picture This, Liam Gallagher, Alice Merton, Sigrid... tons more.
2018 - we started putting on Classic Hits more here at work so it's a lot of ELO, Paul Hardcastle got in here, Sheryl Crow, Eric Clapton, on and on classics.
2019 - I was the de facto supervisor of evening shift in late 2019 for a few months so I would command my 'chef' to change the radio right before N*all B*ylan would come on. So we'd get to listen to classics for the first half of the shift then current stuff. Ava Max, Miley Cyrus, Dua Lipa, more Sigrid, Freya Ridings, Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish...
2020 - global panini! Westlife managed to return here, SZA, Alan Walker, Doja Cat, Halsey, Gavin James, Glass Animals, BENEE... all featured here. I was on night shift so some fuckig weird shit would play at 4am.
2021 - this is where my records start to fall off. Little Mix? Coldplay? They had stuff out this year. 2021 sucked for me so I wasn't paying much attention. Olivia Rodrigo too.
2022 - I quit work in July so thus ended my exposure to whatever the top of the pops was. Gayle I guess before I left?
2023 - I don't know
2024 - The only new song I'm aware of is Red Wine Supernova... and it was released in 2023 oops.
