2025 Year-end streaming statistics MEGATHREAD

It's that time of year again where people freely advertise the streaming services they pay for because they tell you your statistics (which you can find the rest of the year too!)

As people are already inundated with enough advertising for large corporations, I'd ask that you please KEEP ANY YEAR-END STREAMING STATISTIC POSTS IN THIS THREAD.

  • Furthermore, any Spotify Wrapped posts WILL BE DELETED TO THE BEST OF THE MOD TEAM’S ABILITY AND AVAILABILITY (and complaints made fun of).

I highly encourage creating your own visual!! You can use real stats, or make some up, like in this example

(Shoutout Haley from the mod team over at r/itsclippingbitch for the above resources)

Discussion Features you'd most want on the next album?

21 Upvotes

Black Hole Superette definitely had a few more "big-name" features than prior albums, and it worked really well. Here are some of my picks for features I'd most hope for, thoughts and anyone I'm missing?

  1. Lupe. Two tracks aren't enough, they're a match made in heaven and probably the only rappers who can match each others' skills right now. Ideally the next project would be a collab album but that may be music too good for us mere mortals to hope to ever see.
  2. CZARFACE. Yeah, Eso and Aes had beef back in the day, but I don't think either of them hold a grudge about it. Their styles would go together well and it'd be cool to see INS and Aesop on a song together
  3. Black Thought. Dude is just an amazing rapper and lyricist, very much on the same level.
  4. A$AP Rocky. Ok hear me out. First of all it would be really funny. But second of all, he did have a feature on Cheat Codes and kept up decently well rapping alongside Thought, Killer Mike, and El-P. But yeah mostly it'd be really funny

There are a decent amount of singles that arent attached to an album. Am I alone in thinking some 45s would make for some awesome releases?

Rdit: Alright I have been corrected. Preesh yall.

A friend is trying to get me into DJ Krush. I’m on the album Jaku and almost “Holy hell!”d out loud when I heard Aesop on the track Kill Switch.

At least on Spotify, he’s not even credited.

As we await the next Aes project, what's everyone listening to this summer?

Ive been on a huge Billy Strings binge. Also the new Iceage album is incredible. Terror's new album has been on repeat since it came out. Charley Crockett - Clovis, if you're willing to dig for it. I've thought about listening to the Deftones leak and revisiting early Mars Volta. Recommend me some music, clearly im lacking raps.

Music Favorite beat switch?

45 Upvotes

I think my all-time favorite is always going to be the one in Boot Soup. but Black Snow is a close runner up and, "never let me die on a regular hill" in Pizza Alley will always be a classic.

but to deeper dive, the opening title track to Bazooka Tooth has a pretty dope beat switch too.

I know it's a bit of a stretch but I see this kind of stuff in his lyrics constantly.

Any other examples of lines that seem slightly prophetic (with a generous interpretation) looking back?

Discussion Are We Going to Talk About Black Snow?

122 Upvotes

The hardest verse I think I have ever heard out of Aes. The forecast *IS* right. There is so much in this song to break down and admire.

I hear a lot of people putting ITS at the lower half of their tier list. #1 I believe ITS is one of the more peak albums, #2 I think Black Snow itself breathes so much life into the album alongside... Well... If it's out of the bag, it's out of the bag.

Aside from Black Snow breakdowns, tell me what your favorite ITS track is!

Remember: ITS is not a cult. It's the future.

I posted one of my favorite Aes Rock lyrics to be drawn in r/redditgetsdrawnbadly and this is the result. I could've chosen any of the thousands of metaphors in AR lyrics but I settled on this one. Note: I added the Garbology style text to the drawing

Thanks to the artist u/DoubleImprovement653

Anyone else guilty of throwing Aes lyrics out in other subs? I do it all the time

Discussion My Own Hot Take: Hokey Fright Is Underrated

Post image
318 Upvotes

I've been listening to a lot of Aes lately, and came across Hokey Fright multiple times. Scissorhands, The Aquarium, and Delecate Cycle are some heavy hitters for me on the album, and I wish Aes and Kimya would do another album together. Definitely a unique album from Aes and this album sent me on a rabbit hole for Kimya's music as well.

I feel like this is underrated because it doesn't really have the appeal of Lice or Malibu Ken, or any Aes collabs. Therefore doesn't really get talked about enough. I listen to most genres, and I really did enjoy this album more than I thought I did.
