I really didn’t see it coming. This year, I’ve listened to a lot of my beloved Britpop – having missed out on the Oasis tour – and my most-played artist was Lily Allen, on account of having her new album on repeat in the kitchen (you want to be wielding a sharp implement when “Pussy Palace” comes on). I hosted two summer barbecues and a first-birthday party. So imagine my shock to discover that Spotify thinks I’m 100 years old.
According to the streaming service’s Wrapped feature – a roundup of your most played songs and artists over the past 12 months – my “listening age” is roughly that of a centenarian. Older than Sir David Attenborough. I’m expecting a card from the King any minute. As one friend put it, when I shared the news on Instagram, “you’re the oldest on my timeline!” Thanks, I think.
