It's the first month since I use Spotify in which I have a winner who is neither from Iceland nor from Murica... Congrats, Julie Fowlis, my love!

Now you've got a place not only in my heart but also in whiteshoes hall of fame
Equilibrium, Sabaton and Faun released new albums recently, so that's how they made it into the Top 10. Sabatons album is superb, Equilibrium's album has tops and flops, Faun's album is a little disappointing but still has 2-3 gems (especially the song in which they collaborated with Wardruna).
For Sigur Rós the month was a disaster of nearly historical proportions as they are only 9th in this ranking. Ironically, they failed right in this month when I saw them performing live for the very first (and hopefully not last) time

But well, when I hear music via mobile phone it's mostly Sigur Ros stuff so the list is certainly not really accurate in this regard.
