Each year Apple puts together a Replay playlist (Similar to Spotify’s Year in Review) that lists your most listened to songs. This year I figured I’d ask ChatGPT to analyze my musical tastes based off of it. And ya know what, it’s pretty accurate:
Analyzing the musical tastes of a person based on a list of songs can be subjective, as individual preferences vary. However, we can identify some patterns and genres that seem to be present in the provided song list.
- Diversity in Genres: The list includes a wide variety of genres such as pop, country, rock, folk, Disney, and more. This suggests that the person enjoys exploring different musical styles.
- Nostalgia and Classic Hits: There’s a presence of classic hits like ‘Eye of the Tiger’ by Survivor, ‘Escape (The Pina Colada Song)’ by Rupert Holmes, and ‘Jump (For My Love)’ by The Pointer Sisters, indicating a fondness for nostalgic and timeless tunes.
- Country Music: Songs by artists like Kenny Chesney, Luke Bryan, Miranda Lambert, and others indicate an affinity for country music, especially with tracks like ‘Beer in Mexico,’ ‘What Makes You Country,’ and ‘White Liar.’
- Disney and Nostalgic Theme Park Music: The inclusion of Disney songs (‘Circle of Life,’ ‘The Aristocats,’ ‘Colors of the Wind’) and theme park music (‘Fantasmic Theme,’ ‘EPCOT Medley’) suggests a liking for whimsical and nostalgic tunes.
- Pop and Contemporary Hits: Recent pop hits like ‘Blinding Lights’ by The Weeknd, ‘Dance Monkey’ by Tones And I, and ‘bad idea right?’ by Olivia Rodrigo indicate an appreciation for contemporary and popular music.
- Jimmy Buffett Influence: Multiple songs by Jimmy Buffett, such as ‘Margaritaville,’ ‘Bubbles Up,’ and ‘Summerzcool,’ suggest a liking for beachy, tropical, and laid-back vibes.
- Musical Theater Influence: Inclusion of songs from musicals like ‘9 to 5 the Musical’ and ‘Frozen’ suggests an interest in musical theater.
- Eclectic Mix: The list features lesser-known artists and songs alongside mainstream hits, showing an openness to discovering music from various sources.
In summary, the person who regularly listens to these songs has an eclectic taste, enjoys a mix of classic and contemporary hits, appreciates country and tropical vibes, has a fondness for Disney music and theme park nostalgia, and may have an interest in musical theater.
