I need to get around to listening to Rosalia. I've never heard any of her music but I've only heard good things

What he say? He deleted it

Of course

I used to store them in my notes on my phone from 2016 till 2019 but that phone fell from the 4th floor lmaoo so I lost everything pre-2020

If yall post your AOTY lists from those years tho it might jog my memory a bit

All I remember is top 3s of every year

My archive is in the form of annual playlists, any songs i dig in that year I'll add them to the playlist. Like I'm bookmarking the good bits and when I see a track I get reminded of the album/project they from, or the artists really

I tried keeping lists last time but I couldn't find a sweet spot to that method. Like s*** can get tedious and it's not often I get urge to revisit my lists

yeah i make aoty lists pretty much every year, also make Spotify playlists of my fav tracks of each year.
