According to [last.fm](https://last.fm) I listen to [more albums than 96% of the site](https://www.last.fm/user/fmorgan88/listening-report/year), and that site consists of self selected music enthusiasts, so I guess I probably count for this. I follow new releases across a range of different sources I trust (Pitchfork, The Needle Drop, The Quietus, Resident Advisor, /r/indieheads, /r/hiphopheads) and listen to anything that either comes strongly recommended or piques my interest. Often I don't have time to listen to it at the same time as I discover it, so I will add it to an 'albums of the year' playlist that acts as a dumping ground for everything I want to listen to. Last year that hit [2733 songs / 181 hours](https://open.spotify.com/user/felixjmorgan/playlist/0tgi8SHon8PEIw1IXZ6z6r?si=GUoyntKnTkyuoCBUL3Uq7Q), so it ends up being quite detailed generally. Everything that goes on there I listen to at least once or twice, often much much more. I also make monthly playlists for individual tracks I enjoy. I've been doing this since 2013 fairly consistently, though the last few months have been less attentive as I've been travelling a lot with work. Then when it comes to year end I will often check best of lists from music sites I trust, blogs, writers, and aggregators like Rate Your Music to fill in any gaps I have amassed throughout the year. It sounds like a lot of work when written out like this, but it's very passive generally. I just use 10 mins at a time here and there for research, and then have music on in the background while doing other things.
