It's a term invented by Last.fm that didn't really catch on more generally because it's too silly even for the Internet.

By Audioscrobbler, which merged later with last.fm

I never never cared about my own or other people's music listening history. And I never talked to someone who does. So I never needed a word for the thing, I guess.
