This is a visual representation of 2016 in music based on all the tracks I've played on Spotify. 1853 different tracks from 925 unique artists played in total 7408* times over the year. Each artist is represented by a circle and the size is based on the number of times the artist has been played. The circles are clustered together based on genre.

Hoovering over a circle will reveal the artist it represents, genre, the most popular track and times the track has been played. In the right-hand calendar it is also shown which months/weeks/days/hours I've played the artist during the year. Click the circle to lock it, and use the potify widget to listen.

Data has been collected using LastFM. Unfortunately Spotify does not provide an API to access user play history, they however allow users to connect their Spotify-client to LastFM and save play history that way. And luckily, I've been doing just that on most of my devices since 2007 - recording over 80.000 play events to date.
