I love listening to music. I also love statistics. So I created this website, which quantifies exactly how much I love music.
These statistics are compiled from a database of 14,889 tracks from 1,831 albums and 788 artists (not counting artists whose sole contribution to my library is on compilation albums). The total playtime of the music library is 6w 5d 2h 27m 56s, or an average of 4m 33s per track. A total of 430,522 plays are recorded, for a total time spent listening of:
The comparison is based on the past 52w 1d of tracking only. In that time, 37,961 plays were recorded, for 17w 1d 6h 37m 50s of playtime. In the "All Time" statistics, the number in parenthesis is the change in rank over the duration of this comparins.
Collection of these playcount statistics began at least by February 2006, but may have begun prior to then. The data is collected from my iTunes Library, which counts a "play" as when a track plays through its complete end. I do not leave my music playing unattended, and I primarily listen to music through iTunes or devices which synchronize with its library. I take great care to keep this data as clean as possible. These statistics were last updated on 1 Mar 2023.
Artist favoritism is based purely on total time spent listening to music by that artist, irrespective of playcounts.

Understand that the "genre" of music is completely subjective and not clearly defineable. Many times music falls into multiple possible genres, or different albums by one musician are in different genres, or sometimes even tracks on an album. Futher, a genre-defining artist for one person may be known only peripherally to another fan of similar types of music. Genre labels also change alongside trends and fads, and can have significant overlap within one another. So, that said, these are the genres I use to categorize the music I listen to, with the goal being to group similar musicians. In my library, every artist has one and only one genre applied to all music they've released. I also try to standardize on a small number of labels, with some "catch-all" genres used to facilitate this.
