February 2022 Recap

 February is always a weird month, right? Less days equal less numbers as a sum, but even the averages seem to dip due to the fracas of late winter. 2417 scrobbles as 17% less than January, but only 8 less per day. Top hours were 10p-11p, 9p-10p and 11a-12p.

Rock continued to be the top genre, while 80s, Alternative Rock, Pop and Classic Rock rounded out the top 5.

80s isn't usually a heavily-streamed genre - not because I don't like the music from the 80s, it just isn't usually a period that gets a lot of heavy listening. The interesting mix here is that most of these songs are ones that pump me up, mixed with ones that make me really sad.

Once or twice per year I go on a really big BSS kick.  They hit me in all the right spots, and this was the month for it. Rooftops snuck in because I was doing a show review for them, and the rest are the usual suspects, with a resurgence from The Birthday Massacre.

Thanks to Last.FM for the stats.
