As mentioned previously, I don’t use streaming music services. So I do a DIY end-of-year wrap-up for my music listening. Obviously, I listened to music I already owned as well, but this is the highlight reel of the year’s new purchases.

I had a lot more instrumental/ambient type music this year. I didn’t have as many “backfilling from my misspent youth” albums, though I did have some “I’ve known this artist’s work for years but never had an actual album” purchases.

New albums* heard: 74--down slightly, I think last year I did a few multi-album weeks
*(discretely purchased music items, includes singles, EPs, and other short forms along with “full” albums)

Contributing artists: 54--up slightly

Oldest album: technically, A Charlie Brown Christmas (Vince Guaraldi Trio, 1965), though the songs on The Kingston Trio collection date back to 1957 (the collection itself was released in 1990)

Newest album: Watch Me Drive Them Dogs Wild (Merce Lemon, September 27, 2024), though the 2024 track added to Louie Zong’s Ghost Songs might have been later

Top artists by albums: Louie Zong had six full albums, though S. J. Tucker had eight if including singles (yay for robust back catalogs!)

Most repeated albums: No Place in Heaven (MIKA), Goodnight Dreamer (Dreamer Isioma), Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess (Chappell Roan)

Tracks of note: Good Guys (MIKA), GOOD MORNING SUNSHINE (Narcissist Cookbook), Dance ‘Til You Stop (Ninja Sex Party), The Village (Wrabel & Trans Chorus of Los Angeles), Pivot to Evil (Baby Got Back Talk), Wonders (S. J. Tucker)
