The Beatles, Bruno Mars, The Carpenters, Lady Gaga, and the Bee Gees were my top five artists
Those who know me wouldn’t be surprised to know that The Beatles were the musical act I listened to the most with Grammy Award winning “Now and Then” the track I listed to the most. The 47 minutes I spent listening to the Fab Four’s last song put me in the platform’s top 5% of listeners to the song. Bruno Mars was next followed by The Carpenters, Lady Gaga and the BeeGees. After “Now and Then,” the songs I streamed the most were :
- I Want to Hold your Hand
- Too Much Heaven
- Die With a Smile
- Free As a Bird (2025 Mix)
“A Closer Look” was my top podcast in 2025
The top podcast I listed to was Seth Myers’ “A Closer Look” (417 minutes). YouTube Music also puts together for you a playlist of the tunes you listened to the most during the year. When you open the app, tap the Library tab and you will see a listing for your 2025 Recap playlist.
