A couple of interesting points. First, the number one song was played 7 times. Number ten 4 times. What? That's it? You have to understand most of my analytical listening of music is done in the car. Also, my iTunes library has over 8 thousand tracks in it and it's usually on shuffle. The most played track of all time only has 45 play counts on it and that's since September of 2003. The oldest track in my iTunes library was added on October of 2002. In case you're curious it's This All Can Become Completely by Bats and Mice which you can download over at Lovitt Records.
