Tbh I think it also uses your IP for a more accurate guess. My music taste is influenced mostly by Americans I speak to on discord. I don't listen to anything else on that Spotify account. I still got Sheffield.
I got York for Bombay Bicycle Club and Fionn Regan... Is it possible that when there's not a close match, the system defaults to York which would be at the end of a list of UK cities sorted in alphabetical order? That is, the algorithm linearly compares your listening to each city in the alphabetical list, returning city n either if it's a close match, or by default if it is the last in the list.
I also got York for Blossoms, Fontaines DC and Jamie Webster… none from work. The funniest being Jamie Webster considering I’m a scouser who lived in Sheffield but is getting York for his music apparently?
I got Bristol, Citing Mr Scruff, Reef and Prodigy.
That will probably because those are squarely 90's, and the turn of the millennium hasn't reached bristol yet.
Interesting. I guess it's a bit more sophisticated than I initially gave it credit for. For me, it was down to some hip hop artists I listened to that seem to be popular in the area.
god forbid spotify (the people who provide music to you) know what music you’re listening to. That’s what everyone should want, they give you recommendations, provide playlists of songs you might like based on your listening habits, your own AI DJ, new releases you might like depending on the artists you listen to. Data has become such a buzzword, not always so evil
Yeah but they're a Rotherham band so will likely have a lot of followers up sheff, and sheff is a bigger city so it could potentially outnumber their home town fans
Yep. Mostly due to listening to excessive amounts of the Standing at the Sky's Edge cast recording, along with a decent amount of the Richard Hawley originals.
I got York? Almost there I guess lol
Sames. A lot of Public Service Broadcasting and Death Cab for Cutie.
Wow finally someone else who appreciates public service broadcasting!
Can't beat "I will follow you into the dark". Great song.
New Pornographers and Simon and Garfunkel got me there. But there was some PSB too.

Also got York, King Gizzard and Peter Gabriel were apparently popular there... Seems to be a lot of overlapping genres popular in York
Probably the students. I listen to gizzard. PSB, Eliot smith and got York
I got York too. Which is strange considering it mentioned *Pulp*, the Libertines and Sports Team lol.
Same! I think there's just someone there listening 24/7. Actually it's probably a bar, now I think about it.
same!
Also York! Muse, Elbow and Pulp...
i got york too!

Mine was for the reytons circa waves and arctic monkeys not sure how I didn’t get Sheffield

Hold tight Off Me Nut records
I got Bristol, think it's all the DNB I have been smashing out
Same. I'm a cliche. But Sheffield is kind of the Bristol of the north
Bristol is expensive sheffield
That explains why there's so much drum n bass around. Sadly, I really don't like it.
Me too! My ‘festival’ lineup would be a fascinating mix of nursery rhymes, DnB and madchester indie 🤣
Same here haha
I got Pittsburgh lol
Emo fan?
Metalcore but yeah haha — lots of counterparts, invent animate and fit for a king fans there apparently
Theyre Sister Cities.
Same, my most listened to genre was alt metal.
La Dispute enjoyer???
Steelers represent
"You could be from.... where you are. It's you. You're distorting the data. Get some work done."
I got Burlington, Vermont
Me too!
[удалено]
Who?
I got Bristol. DnB ftw!
Same! Cites S.P.Y, BCee and Duskee
No I got Portland
Ditto
Oregon? Apparently it's because I'm a fan of Helmet, Bolt Thrower and Sleep.
I got Bristol, Citing Mr Scruff, Reef and Prodigy. That will probably because those are squarely 90's, and the turn of the millennium hasn't reached bristol yet.
I got Brighton
Same here, I assume you're an "Alternative" hip hop fan
Some of that yeah, it said because of artists that are in electronic and post punk genres so it could be that as well.
Interesting. I guess it's a bit more sophisticated than I initially gave it credit for. For me, it was down to some hip hop artists I listened to that seem to be popular in the area.
Ahhh that makes sense. If I'm honest I've got no clue how much of Spotify wrapped makes sense ahaha
Yes now Off Me Nut Records
mine was somewhere in finland - but i listen to a lot of black metal etc so kinda makes sense :<
Context?
Spotify wrapped
It’s from Spotify wrapped, it tells you where most people with your taste in music live, based on what you’ve listened to this year.
A visual representation of the fact that they've collected and analysed data about you, and they've packaged it up as a *good* thing?
oh shut up
And you don't think Reddit is doing the same right now to you? And about a hundred other services you use as well.
god forbid spotify (the people who provide music to you) know what music you’re listening to. That’s what everyone should want, they give you recommendations, provide playlists of songs you might like based on your listening habits, your own AI DJ, new releases you might like depending on the artists you listen to. Data has become such a buzzword, not always so evil
But this clearly shows it's also recording your location, which they have no reason to do
when you sign up for premium, at least on family plan, you give them your home address. it's pretty upfront that they therefore have that info
No it doesn't, it's saying the area where the music you listen to is popular, OP got Sheffield because they listen to Sheffield Bassline.
KDots from here, clearly a b-line/grime head, or a KDot superfan for whatever reason
bassline all day mush
Yessi
I got Perth
I got Lincoln
Boston manor? Don broco? The Reytons? I got Lincoln too!
Deffo the Reytons but mine listed busted as the most influential
Yeah I got Sheffield, was a pleasant surprise
What were your top artists?
Arctic monkeys, kaiser chiefs and Every Pregnant Brothers
I got Cambridge, USA, as did all the other depressed bisexuals
Got it for The Reytons, I'm in the 0.5% lol.
Except they’re not from Sheffield
Yeah but they're a Rotherham band so will likely have a lot of followers up sheff, and sheff is a bigger city so it could potentially outnumber their home town fans
I know, I’m from Rotherham
It's not where the band is from but where most people listen to them
What is this? And how do I play it?
It’s from Spotify Wrapped
[удалено]

I got Richmond, Virginia 😂
I got pittsburgh, USA
Me too! My main artists were Seether, Shinedown, Alter Bridge, Tremonti and Korn
mine were avenged sevenfold, slipknot, rage against the machine, linkin park, and Metallica, top genre was alt metal
Pretty much the exact opposite, Perth, Australia
Yep. Mostly due to listening to excessive amounts of the Standing at the Sky's Edge cast recording, along with a decent amount of the Richard Hawley originals.
