As 2023 is coming to an end, and I grow one year closer to death, also YouTube Music seems to have jumped on the "recap" train following Spotify's template. It's not as accurate as Spotify, telling me not much more than 65% of my listening being simply "heavy metal" (unlike Spotify which separates into subgenres, but I still prefer YouTube Music for various reasons), 8% rock, 2% indie, 2% pop, and 2% reggae. My top "moods" were 39% dramatic, 39% sorrowful, 14% energising, 3% uplifting, 3% happy. My 5 top artists were Impaled Nazarene, Senshi, Bloodywood, Kypck, and Turmion Kätilöt.

I'm a bit surprised by some of these stats, such as electronic music not appearing among my top genres (I still listen to Shpongle a lot and will do so until I die), "angry" not being one of my top moods, and alternative metal being so heavily featured among my top bands, but I can't fight the stats, I guess. Here are my most listened to songs in 2023 according to YouTube Music's recap.

1.Bloodywood - Aaj

2.Arkona - Kob'

3.Bloodywood - Gaddaar

4.Anamnesi - La Precessione Degli Equinozi

5.Senshi - Evil In Dem Eyes
