What 165,171 plays since Feb 13, 2005 say about him
Drafted by this page from every play on the record. Jake has not confirmed any of it, and each reading carries the strongest doubt against it.
Someone who loves horn sections, keeps the same circle for years, is circling back to the music he started with, plays one song for a whole day when it lands, lets the music run, and listens most in the evening.
-
Heart
7,270plays of horn-section bands
A lover of horn sections. , , and : 7,270 plays between them, 4 percent of everything he has played. alone is 4,814, the most of anyone.
Doubt: Four bands carry most of it. Take The Dip away and horns are a strong taste, not the center of one.
-
Mind
7,900plays of guitar with no singer
When there are no words, it is guitar, and has been since 2005. (3,721), , , and : 7,900 plays in all.
Doubt: Post-rock builds slowly and Polyphia shows off. Same instrument, opposite moods, so this may be two habits rather than one.
-
Company
20 of 20years for his longest thread
He keeps the same company for decades. is in 20 of the 20 years on the record; in 19, in 18 and in 18.
Doubt: A single play counts a year, and 2016 to 2018 went unrecorded, so a thread can look longer or shorter than it was.
-
Roots
4early favorites back in 2026
The oldest music is coming back. (114), (78), (40) and (22) were big in his first years on the record and are being played again in 2026.
Doubt: One summer playlist carries much of this, and one year is a thin basis for a return.
-
Habit
175plays of one song in one day
When a song lands, he stays in it. On May 28, 2024 he played “BIRDS OF A FEATHER”, , 175 times. Also “I'm So Sick” 171 times on Aug 8, 2007; “God's Bathroom Floor” 119 times on Jan 24, 2010.
Doubt: A song on repeat counts every pass, whether or not anyone was listening.
-
Taste
50%of songs in a year played once
Wide to find, deep to keep. In a typical year 50 percent of the songs he plays, he plays once. Then a few take over: in 2023, 70 percent of his plays went to songs he played twenty times or more.
Doubt: Shuffle and autoplay hand him songs he never chose, which fills the played-once side.
-
Hands
29% → 5%of songs he picked himself
He has stopped choosing every song. In 2019 he started 29 percent of his songs himself. In 2025 it was 5 percent, and 87 percent simply followed the one before. So far in 2026: 11 percent.
Doubt: Since late 2024 a speaker plays for the whole house, and it does most of the letting run.
-
Hours
6 PMhis busiest hour
An evening listener. Plays peak at 6 PM, Eastern, and the quietest hour is 6 AM.
Doubt: These are the account's hours. A speaker left on in the afternoon counts the same as headphones on a walk.
-
Seasons
3 for 3artists traded summer for winter
Summer and winter are different records. His summer top eight has , and ; winter's swaps them for , and .
Doubt: Some of these artists arrived recently, so their winters or summers are only a year or two deep.

2 readings, each with its doubt
Drafted by this page from the counts above. Jake has not confirmed them.
He keeps the same company. Brasstracks on 10 of 15 seasons, Khruangbin on 7.
Doubt: these are playlists he chose, not plays he made; the full play history may say he wanders more than he files.
He stopped saving songs and started keeping seasons. 257 songs saved in 2020, 59 so far in 2026, while a seasonal playlist arrived every quarter.
Doubt: the drop may be a change of phone habit, not of temperament.
Rediscover: 3 songs on many playlists, none played in 90 days

78,547 plays
A play is half a song or four minutes.
Spotify
Dec 20, 2018 to Oct 3, 2026

A play is 30 seconds or more.
Counted: 164,853 plays. From Feb 13, 2005 to Dec 20, 2018, his Last.fm scrobbles (user joonboy), where a play is half a song or four minutes. From Dec 20, 2018 to Oct 3, 2026, Spotify's full record of his listening, where a play is 30 seconds or more. Last.fm keeps logging after that, but only repeats what Spotify holds, so it is not counted twice. Podcasts are not counted.
Counted: Jake's Spotify account, captured every hour, up to the last 50 plays each time, plus his seasonal playlists, his other 22 playlists and his 1068 saved songs. The log began 2026-10-02.
Left out: children's music played on the same account, the family playlists, private sessions, and sleep sounds left running overnight.
Families are given by artist, not by release date, because Spotify dates a remaster by the year it was reissued. Every chart on this page is drawn from the play counts; none of it measures the audio.
