Top 5 artists: 1. St. Lucia (top 0.05% of listeners, which is insane to me) 2. The Midnight 3. The Lemon Twigs 4. Coldplay 5. Panama Wedding St. Lucia and The Midnight have been favorites for a while now. I'm really into what I like to call "new '80s." I'm an '88 baby so it's not like music from that decade was part of my childhood or anything, but there's something about the sound that I just find so satisfying. Panama Wedding falls under this category, too, but they're one I just discovered this year. The Lemon Twigs was another new discovery and damn it if their music doesn't just make me happy. I think Coldplay is on here because they dropped a new album this year, and they have enough of a back catalog that I can just hit play on their artist page and let it flow for a few hours. Top 5 songs: 1. Uma - Panama Wedding 2. Dancing on Glass - St. Lucia 3. Elevate - St. Lucia 4. Trust - Panama Wedding 5. Do You Remember - St. Lucia These are all on my Driving Music playlist so I'm not surprised that they're at the top. Dancing on Glass and Elevate are my favorite St. Lucia songs so I'm glad to see them so high on the list. Thanks for an interesting video - I really appreciate that you actually played several of the songs in spite of the copyright claim risk, because what's a video about music without music? Definitely going to check out a few of the artists you highlighted that are new to me!

[@MattyIsTalking]

I know St Lucia slightly but I love the new 80s synthy stuff. I'll check out Panama Wedding!

[@laurabowles]

@@MattyIsTalking sadly they only have, like, 6 songs :( I need them to start making music again! But definitely check them out, I think you'll like them.

[@ToHalcyon]

My top 5: 1. Yot Club 2. Juanes 3. Declan McKenna 4. The Strokes 3. Tame Impala Love me some indie. Juanes is a Spanish artist and I only understand around 10% of the lyrics in his songs but man if they don't still slap.

[@MattyIsTalking]

I know some of these names lolol

[@megan_batson]

Top 5 Artists: 1. Hozier 2. Glass Animals 3. Wallows 4. Vampire Weekend 5. Chappell Roan Top 5 Songs: 1. Creatures in Heaven - Glass Animals 2. A Tear in Space (Airlock) - Glass Animals 3. megaman - Dominic Fike 4. hi grace - Dominic Fike 5. 1.23.23 - Dominic Fike My top songs are the result of me streaming the shit out of new singles and a new short EP from artists I love in a VERY short period of time. Gotta do better about doing that next year 😅 I learned about Wallows after seeing that they were at and shared a video from the total solar eclipse Vampire Weekend concert I was also at. Started listening to all of their music when their new album came out and really love it all! Thanks for sharing your spotify wrapped with us, Matty!

[@MattyIsTalking]

I saw The Wallows open for VW a few years back I fell in love with them! They rule

[@ellerieshae05]

Top 5 artists: 1) Taylor Swift 2) Billie Marten 3) Sabrina Carpenter 4) Matt Maltese 5) Zach Bryan **Matt and Billie are super underrated alternative/indie artists, highly recommend! Top 5 songs: 1) Espresso (I took song of the summer sooooo literally) 2) High Tops (By Del Water Gap) 3) Please Please Please 4) Persimmon (By The Army, The Navy. I found them when they opened for Billie Marten! Also highly recommend) 5) Big Black Car (Gregory Alan Isakov) But by far the most interesting thing about my wrapped was having 170,000 listening minutes (I live alone so I always have music playing)

[@watchersleuth]

thank you for introducing me to Cheekface - they do sound a lot like Cake and now I wanna listen to them!

[@MattyIsTalking]

heck yes!!!

[@northernlandia]

Love this comment section idea! I'm going to preface that I had a baby early in the year, which has totally changed the frequency I listen to music - I really didn't listen to any for her first 3 months, my body was in sensory overload. It's also the first time I've had podcasts show up in my wrapped; they're keeping me sane while I'm on mat leave. Top 5 Songs Polygon - TWRP, Starcadian Music is a Movement - Auvic High Affinity - Auvic, Pipo Fernandez Time Travel Kool-Aid - Half an Orange I Love You - Said the Whale (I've been swinging between my CanCon and electronic faves, depending on my mood. The contrast of Said the Whale in here is funny to me.) Top 5 Artists Auvic TWRP Qveen Herby Billy Talent Said the Whale (Same as above, and Qveen Herby is an artist that's a real outlier for me but her stuff has been so good for postpartum mental health.) Top 5 Podcasts Search Engine Radiolab Short History of... Well There's Your Problem Stuff You Missed in History Class (I was in the top 3% of Education genre listeners worldwide!)

[@MattyIsTalking]

Outside of recognizing Radiolab I have never heard any of these artists or songs lolol but I am so excited to check them out!

[@northernlandia]

@MattyIsTalking Qveen Herby is an interesting one! I think you might actually like Said the Whale. I really like singing Goodnight Moon to my baby. But TWRP has a special place in my heart as electronic funk CanCon; their music can always make me feel better. Great video though, thanks so much for sharing your list - I ended up hearing some cool new things!

[@xoxogossipgirl5705]

the thing is, i know that it's okay i rlly couldn't care less about wrapped but there are songs in my 2024 top playlist that i've genuinly never listened to in my life. so the whole concept just didnt make anyyy sense this year

[@MattyIsTalking]

I had heard this was happening but didn’t happen to me! That sucks!

[@protoman21]

When I think Kid Rock, I think Matty. This is a bed that you must lie in.

[@MattyIsTalking]

my albatross

[@mellowyellow6729]

My top five artists were 1. Fiona Apple 2. Charli xcx 3. Grimes 4. Beyoncé 5. St. Vincent Top 5 songs were 1. Surgeon- St. Vincent 2. Paper Bag- Fiona Apple 3. Lemon- N.E.R.D. ft Rihanna 4. Killshot- Magdalena Bay 5. Los Ageless- St. Vincent And a fun fact is that I discovered the song Surgeon by St Vincent when I was in my stepdad’s car one day last year and it came on his playlist. I was like ooo ok this song is funky and cool, so I listened to it later on my own, and then looped it for about an hour cause I couldn’t get enough and now it’s my favorite song that I have yet to get tired of 😁 In fact ive discovered quite a lot of music that I like from his car playlist, he has good taste

[@MattyIsTalking]

I absolutely love finding a song and just immediately WEARING IT OUT

[@johncook2820]

Just seeing the *title* of this video sent me into a trauma shame spiral, given how many times Michael W Smith comes up in my own... So I laughed pretty hard to see your #1. I'm not alone. 😂

[@MattyIsTalking]

🤣

[@johncook2820]

Finally got to it. 1. BUZZ 2. Mallrat 3. Michael W. Smith (sigh) 4. Alanah Sabatini 5. Tegan and Sara

[@theghostwaves]

My top five artists are: Creeper Hozier Ben Howard Noah Kahan Salem A fun mix of gothic rock emo music & sad mens indie tunes! Great video as always Matt. Not usually a commenter but wanted to show some support for the algo!

[@MattyIsTalking]

thank you!! Noah Kahan is such a good songwriter!

[@coinchartier264]

Massive Salem W. Witch house goes hard.

[@gailamusic]

my top artists were (1) ROLE MODEL (2) Billie Eilish (3) Lana Del Rey (4) Ariana Grande (5) 5SOS. a little fun fact: ROLE MODEL has been my most listened to artist since 2021 :)

[@MattyIsTalking]

never heard of ROLE MODEL! gonna check them out!

[@gailamusic]

@@MattyIsTalking highly recommend :)

[@daneyoshida]

My whole goal this year was to get my buddy Alex as my top artist with as many streams as possible. Everything else with no shame or shade was whatever played after his playlist completerd. Although I go to extremes was karaoke practice 😆. P.s. I really enjoyed the Wonka movie, it got a lot of flack, but Timmy pulled it off I think. My top five artists: 1. Marzoña 2. Ryan Gosling 3. Dua Lipa 4. Michael Giaccino 5. Billy Joel Top 5 songs: 1. Dance the night away 2. Murder on the dance floor 3. I dont know what I'm doing here (Marzoña) 4. I go to extremes 5. I'm just Ken (purple disco remix)

[@MattyIsTalking]

Wonka rules. Did you like the new Joel?!

[@daneyoshida]

​@@MattyIsTalkingI liked it, but I think its just coming from a place of gratitude for new music from him. Won't be heavily in my rotations in the future though.

[@groundupRVA]

Liking just for Billy Joel mention

[@sydneyhainsworth9141]

My top five artists this year we’re Noah Kahan Vampire Weekend Chappell Roan Hozier Hippo Campus Because I am a sad little indie boy that also craves fun sparkly lesbian tunes

[@MattyIsTalking]
