It's time again for my fun little list thing.

Please provide me with a list of your most played songs, based on any music player that counts how many times a track has been played.

A new dynamic has entered this little exercise in the form of the ITunes new Genius feature, which collects information on your playlist and other playlists that have similar songs, and shoots out a custom made list of 25 songs for any track you select. It's a perfect way to give you some music for a particular mood, especially if you use your playlists to go to sleep and you don't want a Black Flag or NIN song pop up out of nowhere.

The result of this Genius feature, I think, is that some more common songs are becoming clustered around each other, hence more play counts.

Here we go:

FIRST (19 plays each)

Cream - I Feel Free



Gary Numan - Observer



The Knife - One Hit



Nick Drake - Pink Moon



The Strokes - You Only Live Once



Wilco - Kamera

3 years of data, and I'm still basically listening to the same stuff. Everything I've come to like over the past year can barely break into the my top 50.

Top 5 most-played songs (# of plays):

The Beatles - A DAY IN THE LIFE: (146)
New Radicals - YOU GET WHAT YOU GIVE: (135)
The Cranberries - LINGER: (133)*
Peter Gabriel - SOLSBURY HILL: (129)
Oasis - CHAMPAGNE SUPERNOVA: (126)

(* wtf )

No LastFm reporting this time. *single tear*

As some of you might've noticed, LastFm has a tendency to scrobble songs twice for a single listen, OR sometimes not scrobble at all, which results in inaccurate listening info/charts. In an effort to remedy this, every few months I create a new account so that my charts are accurate. This latest time, however, LastFm didn't prompt the "import iTunes history" option... which I'm kinda choked about. I've even tried wiping all traces of LastFm from my computer and reinstalling it, but still nothing.

From what I understand, they've modified their software so that any given library history can only be imported once, which makes sense -- if users can import playcounts each time a new account is created, the integrity of the collected data is likely compromised. I get that. But I don't understand it when I've deleted my entire LastFm account (playcounts and all), and it won't let me re-import with a new account. (I wonder how they "know" that a library history has already been imported -- I.P. address??)

At any rate, I'll wait a few months before trying again with a new account. In the meantime, my most-played artists looks something like this (iirc):

The Beatles - ~6,200
Pearl Jam - ~2,400
Radiohead - ~2,300
Oasis - ~2,250
Sigur Ros - ~1,500

Earlier this month, I reached 80,000 total plays (three years of data). And according to my iTunes, I have 33 songs with 100 or more plays. 128 with 75+, and 405 with 50 or more.

And no, I don't listen to the radio. Ever.

Well, I'm working on setting up a LastFM account finally, but here goes:

1. New Order - Temptation (105)
2. R. Kelly - Ignition (Remix) (80)
3. Robbie Williams - Rock DJ (80)
4. My Morning Jacket - Gideon (69)
5. Tom Waits - Downtown Train (69)
6. Wilco - Pot Kettle Black (63)
7. The Zombies - This Will Be our Year (61)
8. The Hold Steady - Stuck Between Stations (57)
9. My Morning Jacket - What A Wonderful Man (55)
10. The Beach Boys - God Only Knows (54)
11. The Clash - Train in Vain (54)
12. LCD Soundsystem - All My Friends (54)
13. New Order - Ceremony (54)
14. My Morning Jacket - Lay Low (53)
15. My Morning Jacket - Anytime (52)
16. Spoon - Small Stakes (52)
17. Sunday Drivers - Tears and Years (51)
18. The Hold Steady - You Can Make Him Like You (50)
19. My Morning Jacket - Off the Record (49)
20. Robbie Williams - Radio (49)
21. Ghostface Killah - Back Like That (47)
22. The Hold Steady - Hot Soft Light (47)
23. The Knife - Heartbeats (47)
24. Spoon - The Way We Get By (47)
25. The Hold Steady - How a Resurrection Really Feels (46)

Not many changes...oh well.

It's time for our first playlist check for 2009.

For noobs, every 3 months I take a look at my iTunes 'play count' feature to sort my entire playlist in descending order by number of times the track has been completely played. Often interesting and unexpected songs sneak under the radar.

A very important development happened as I was checking my list this month. I knew this day would come sooner or later. Turns out I had two copies of Big Star's Feel on my iTunes. There are a few tracks that I downloaded or bought individually before finding the whole album to enjoy. For these double copies, two files of the exact same song were being counted. I'm trying to make sure that doesn't happen anymore as load up new songs and find more duplicates.

I'm very sorry to Big Star fans who were hoping that having it at the top of MY PLAYLIST would validate the hipness of their music tastes!

I just load my Windows Media Player at work with .WMA (I don't usually use an MP3 player at home, listen to CDs) and I'm firewalled out of Last.fm/Pandora, etc. I also tend to listen to a lot of stuff I'm sampling so my top play counts tend not tbe representative of what my actual favorites are.

So instead I told it to give me a playlist of 4 or 5 star rated songs, then play at random and here's the first 10 to come up:

Pennsylvania- Bloodhound Gang
We Got the Neutron Bomb - The Weirdos
Let Your Troubles Roll By - Carbon Leaf
All About Love - Steven Curtis Chapman
Tears of a Clown - Smokey Robinson and the Miracles
Old Enough to Know (live) - Michael W. Smith
The Adventures of Grandmaster Flash on the Wheels of Steel - Grandmaster Flash
Kids in America - Kim Wilde
Grow Up and Blow Away - Metric
Get Right or Get Left - Farrell and Farrell

OK, WELCOME TO THE SECOND QUARTER PLAYLIST COUNT CHECK

ANOTHER DEVELOPMENT MIGHT ALTER MY NUMBERS THIS TIME AROUND, SINCE I RECENTLY JOINED the iPod world again, this time with a little iPod shuffle. When you replug it into your computer, it updates the playlists, but I suspect that it might count anything on your iPod that was played, even if I skipped over it. A couple songs really shot up this time around, and it could be attributed to that. Oh well just another piece to add to playlist shuffle chaos.

THE VELVET UNDERGROUND - NEW AGE
WOLF PARADE - SHINE A LIGHT

Jethro Tull came out of nowhere... I don't particular like that song but it must show up on a lot of Genius playlists given that it's related to some of the classic rock I like. It's nice that Beck is getting more company, and it's great that New Age might climb up over the months.

Well, I think my tastes run fairly mainstream, but here goes.

Out of 1444 songs, play counts last reset in August 2008

1. Jason Mraz - I'm Yours (76)
2. Yael Naim - New Soul (74)
3. Eric Clapton - Promises (64)

18. Mike Strickland - Music Box Dancer (34)
19. The Battle of New Orleans - Johnny Horton (32)

It's weird, for someone who prides himself as an 80s music buff, there are only 2 80s songs in my top 20.
