Somehow this one COMPLETELY passed me by. Thank goodness for the Stupify algorithm, which corrected the error for me!

March 2025: 81 newly released albums checked out this month (185 newly released albums for the year). There were some big new music Fridays this month and I had some big radar lists that kept me listening! Here's a 4x4 of my favorite albums from this month (alphabetical order by the artist). March was much more balanced for me across the board as far as genres go. I've also included a Spotify playlist with one song selected from each album (alphabetized by the artist).

Scrobbles just log your plays in various media formats. You used to have to have the app open while you played music from your iTunes or other mp3 library, but nowadays you can connect your streaming service of choice to log what youāve listened to. It is recording all streams, mp3 plays from my phone and plays from my computer/itunes. Iāve been scrobbling since 2008~.How does a scrobble compare to a stream?

For the past two or three years now, I have been sending a handful of friends a monthly 10 song playlist of odds and ends that caught my ear over the preceding month, and usually got played a lot while I was streaming. There's no set metric for what makes it and what doesn'tāsometimes something quirky and whimsical slips in, and sometimes my choices may be a bit predictable ("ooooh, another month with a Moor Mother track or collaboration, how shocking!") The most important thing is I very much enjoy the songs, and I really love putting the playlist together. Some months it's hard to whittle the accumulated tracks down to 10* and others it can be pretty easy.
Anyhow, I figured this year I'd share here for kicks in case any of y'all are interested:
*while there is no set metric in place, often songs that appear in my top 9 for a given month are some of the first to get whittled away from the playlist, which is why, for instance, "****ology 101" by Lambrini Girls didn't make this edition of the playlist, despite being an absolute jam that I definitely played a LOT.
I've actually had this one ready for two days, other than renaming it, making it public and getting the linkāwhich i have finally done.
Exactly how I felt at this time in 2024..So far the only album I really connected with has been FKA Twigs but even that would have been the bottom of my top 10 last year. A lot of really good singles but just ok albums and looking ahead I donāt expect to be wowed by the new releases announced as of now. Really hope something surprises me soon. If I donāt have a solid AOTY contender by early May I tend to get anxious lol
