top 25

Does anyone remember how you used to be able to see your Top 25 most-played songs on iTunes? Why did they get rid of that feature? I always liked it. Anyway, I was curious to see what my most-played tunes have been since I've had iTunes, so I organized the songs by play count. I was surprised at some of the titles at the top of the list. I mean, I knew I liked them, but I've listened to them how many times? 128? Seriously?

Here is the music I (and John ... but mostly I) have been listening to most frequently for the past 5 years:

1. The Sound of Settling---Death Cab for Cutie
2. Ooh La La---The Faces
3. I Love N.Y.E.---Badly Drawn Boy
4. Cartwheels---The Reindeer Section
5. Toxic Girl---Kings of Convenience
6. For the Price of a Cup of Tea---Belle and Sebastian
7. Company Calls---Death Cab for Cutie
8. Obstacle 1---Interpol
9. Magic in the Air---Badly Drawn Boy
10. Encantada---Ida
11. Fresh Feeling---Eels
12. Northern Sky---Nick Drake
13. I'd Rather Dance With You---Kings of Convenience
14. Two Stones in My Pocket---Neil Halstead
15. Comtine D'un Autre Ete---Yann Tiersen (from the Amelie Soundtrack)
16. A Summer Wasting---Belle and Sebastian
17. Disco 2000---Pulp
18. Some Sinatra---The Secret Stars
19. Way You Walk---Papas Fritas
20. The Frug---Rilo Kiley
21. Cruel Minor Change---Beulah
22. Some of Shelley's Blues---Great Lakes
23. The Sea and the Rhythm---Iron and Wine
24. Bad Diary Days---Pedro the Lion
25. Happy, the End---Innocence Mission

Some of these songs I haven't listened to in a while, but most are still on my regular playlist. I think I need some new music. Anyone want to share?

great post. i want to go see my top 25. the pictures of nora at the party were U.N.R.E.A.L. (i guess that's how bloggers emphasize the intensity in their voice - all caps and periods really say it all). so i will leave it at that.

I've never heard of any of these people. Does that make me pathetic? :) I listen to "cinderella" and "lady and the tramp" and "whining kids" all day long. :)

uh i dont want to trump you...but i just looked mine up. Number 1 song, Reindeer Section "you are my joy" i have listened to 304 times! I saw that you had listened to one 128 times and i was like "what the?? thats a lot" and then i see 304? WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME? I guess im a broken jukebox that listens to the same song over and over again?
