Just over one year ago, I started Unsung Sundays as an experiment. I wanted to write about music that I listened to, and that my friends regularly asked me to share with them. Music algorithms, like the ones in iTunes, have gotten really bad recently, and I think it’s too hard to find out about good tunes. So Unsung was born. Today, it’s been more than 52 weeks of Unsung Sundays. That’s an entire year’s worth — in other words, a big catalogue of music. So I decided to count how much music I’ve recommended to you. In case you’re wondering, no, there was no fast way to do this. It was a huge, time-consuming process. That means it’s definitely not happening next year at this time, so enjoy it will it lasts! Here’s the past year of Unsung by the number:
- 52 weeks (obviously)
- 84 posts
- 223 recommended records
- 2,809 recommended songs (!!)
- 2 special playlists (1 for Stanley Cup 2013 and 1 for Kanye West songs)
- 1 guest post
- 61 followers on Tumblr
- 63 likes on Facebook
- 15 followers on Twitter
- 116 tweets
- Countless hours listening to music and creating content.
Unsung Sundays has always been a passion project of mine, and that’s why I’m excited about the second year. I’m looking forward to sharing the next 3,000 songs.
