Yesterday’s music really was better. The WSJ reports that roughly 1 in 3 songs streamed on the platform this year from January through April was at least a decade old, and 1 in 6 was at least 20 years old, leading a spokesperson to call 2026 Spotify’s “most nostalgic year.” Maybe you threw out your collections and want to relisten. Maybe you’re looking to connect to a memory. Maybe the mumbles of today just turn you off. Keep those classics going!
