As the 40th year of Band Aid's poignant release, 'Do They Know It's Christmas time now?' approached, I found myself drawn back to its resonance in 1984—a time when global compassion united through music to aid drought-stricken Africa. I always consider 1982-1986 was the Golden period for music with timeless compostions /classics.
In a curious turn, at 11pm last night while I was tossing and turning, while contemplating this classics, my YouTube app surprised me with a personalized music data analysis for my 2023 listens.
Embracing the power of analytics as a window into our lives, the data unveiled intriguing insights, although with a notable caveat: it overlooked the melodies humming in the background of extended instrumental playlists—a staple during my daily grind and late-night wind-down sessions at 1 or 2 a.m.
Analytics is a good way to track/ dice/ interpret data for any aspect of life. Take action out of it!
Here we go.
A staggering 5470 minutes—approximately 95 hours—were dedicated to individual songs, excluding the lengthier playlists that accompanied my daily routine.
