It sounds to me like you've made a choice somewhere in your 4 decades to not seek out music that's new or popular. Maybe you have niche tastes or something, your reasons are your own. If you are happy with the music you listen to then you've made the right decision for you. In that case though, this list should not surprise you.
Not exactly niche tastes for sure. I enjoy listening to almost any genre (seriously, even country). But the rapid commercialization and repetitiveness of most modern music (in any genre) is really off-putting. I do listen to current music but while it's not super niche, it'd also never end up on a list like this.
I'm not one of those people who only listens to indie bands and thinks I'm superior. Last week I listened to everything Pink Floyd ever released. :D The week before that it was all swedish power metal.

This is fascinating to me, I've only heard one of these songs before :o

I've only heard of 3-4. I'm sure I've heard more just out in the wild if they're that popular, but I never know what a song is or who sings it.

I used to be with it! Then they changed what "it" was!
It'll happen to you...

Yellow by Coldplay?!
What?
That's (yikes) 26 years old! How is that making the chart?
Quexotic@infosec.pub · 2 pts · 108d
Does it mean that I'm old if the only song on this list that I recognized was yellow by Coldplay?
Redfox8@mander.xyz · 2 pts · 108d
Right there with you! I was kinda hoping that I could say I'd not heard any of those songs...so close!
BigBananaDealer@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 108d
yes, no other song here is older than 2013
Sanctus@anarchist.nexus · 1 pts · 109d
What were they streaming Yellow on in the year 2000? The radio? Napster? Lol how did Spotify get the data? It wouldnt be around until like 2008.
purplemonkeymad@programming.dev · 5 pts · 108d
That's when it was released, not the year everyone streamed it.
Sanctus@anarchist.nexus · 1 pts · 108d
Aaah thank you

I'm an absolute expert in music up until about 2000, and then it falls off a cliff.
