My top artists of the week aren’t my top artists of the week
Each Sunday, and thanks to JoeLaz, my top artists from last week on last.fm are automatically posted to this tumblelog.
But there is one problem and it’s not the fault of JoeLaz’s script which is purely intended to capture and present data from Last.fm. And it does that very well and presents it beautifully.
The thing is that I’m listening to a lot of music outside of the stuff that Last.fm captures. Right now last.fm captures my listening habbits from last.fm of course, plus songs in my itunes library and the hype machine. That’s it.
But i also listen to rhapsody a lot. Especially this week. And i listen to my sonos like crazy.
And i’m enjoying 8tracks more and more. None of those are autoscroblling to last.fm
Maybe we need a new service to emerge that keeps track of all of this and then does great stuff with it.
Because i know for sure that Coldplay wasn’t one of my top 5 artists last week.
