My top genre was kpop and yet it said I was "an old soul" because I enjoy some occasional Springsteen.

My top genres were death metal and alternative hip hop. You guessed it--I'm spiritually 74 years old.

My top artists were Cameron Winter, My Morning Jacket, Magdalena Bay, Panda Bear, and Turnstile.


Old soul indeed.

I saw Wolf Alice for the first time at the weekend, after getting a cheap last minute resale ticket (like, I bought it on the train over) and I'm so annoyed I haven't seen them before. They're playing arenas on their current UK tour and while they sounded great I wish I could have seen them when they were still playing the smaller venues.

mine was 85... Im pretty sure those are all random just to get posted on social though cause they dont really correspond to anyones actual listening habits

Yeah like, my favorite band is from the 90s sure but the vast majority of stuff I listen to every day is 5 year old or less.

Mine is probably because I have a classic rnb and soul playlist I throw on of stuff from the 50s through the 80s.

I wonder if it's based on listening to more than one old song? I was surprised to get the age of 70.

Yeah, Wolf Alice is great. Ellie Rowsell rips. Awesome live performance.

I moved to tidal a year or so ago so I never get these Wrapped things now. Not sure if that's good or bad.

Tidal did figure out they should do something like this. Their knock-off version is "Rewind 2025" for this year. I'm seeing it as a little rectangle button on the Tidal home screen.

They are not giving out obviously wrong "Listening Age" numbers. Their data might be messed up some other way, though. Supposedly my top artist for the year is Meltt, but I didn't learn about them until October.

I haven’t heard a single album from Stereogum's top 50 of 2025, but own a third of the albums on Classic Pop Magazine's top 100 pop albums. I don’t need an algorithm to tell me I’m old. The truth is self-evident.

(You can’t deny these are all-time greats, though)

Honestly it’s one of my favourite albums ever. Just a perfect pop record.

Was it Wembley Arena, because the sound there is absolutely abysmal unless you're right by the stage

I checked mine out and no surprises on it. But that said my 4th most listened to album was Katie Kim's Salt,from 2016, its an absolute classic and I recommend it to everyone. If you missed it first time round give it a listen.

It’s just AI slop. A random guess based on what their machine says to drive up engagement.

Big Country supported The Jam on their final run of shows at Wembley Arena and that's certainly a combo

saw them in Little Five Points in 2016. Bradford was in a good mood because his mom and his dog were there. 20-minute version of Nothing Ever Happened to finish the show. Ruled.

No it was the NIA in Birmingham, and they sounded pretty good from my seat in the upper stands off to the side.

I saw the Manics at Wembley and there seemed to be a set of speakers at the back of the arena slightly delayed compared to the front, but when I saw KoRn it didn't matter because I was in the pit. The sound at the O2 is much better imo
