Lorde

Spotify, in their infinite wisdom, compiled a year in music for me based upon the 149,043 minutes I spent on the music streaming service, or 248 hours, or ten days non stop. It didn’t particularly surprise, though it did make me wonder if they interpreted hip hop under the spot genre.

Okay, calm down, before calling Royals a good cow call, before concluding that Lorde would be number 1 in the cows’ top 40, we have to consider that may be (very probably) it is just the sound of the trombone that interests them. This guy should definitively repeat the experiment with another famous song and observe if he gets the same effect!
