No access to iTunes
so last.fm will have to do...
1. The xx - Intro
2. Belle and Sebastian - Your Cover's Blown
3. Belle and Sebastian - Seymour Stein
I am nothing if not predictable.
Mine is usually on shuffle, so...
Peaches En Regalia - Dweezil Zappa (Zappa Plays Zappa) - 9 plays
A Day in the Life - Jeff Beck (Live At B.B.King's Blues Club) - 8 plays
The Maid And The Palmer - Brass Monkey (Carthy Chronicles Box Set) - 8 plays
Here's mine
1. Scarborough Fair/Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66 (208 plays)
2. Germ Free Adolescents/X-Ray Spex (198 plays)
3. Cannonball/Breeders (189 plays)
I don't have the plays to
I don't have the plays to hand as I'm at work, and I reset it on New Year's Day every year. But I looked at this yesterday and I know that the top 3 are
1) Vangelis - To The Unknown Man
2) Cascada - Night Nurse
3) Little Boots - Remedy
The most worrying thing is that 2 and 3 are essentially the same song.
Mainly Biscuit Base(d)
1. Vatican Boradside - Half Man Half Biscuit
2. Restless Legs - Half Man Half Biscuit
3. Whole Lotta History - Girls Aloud
Here's mine....
1. No Good Advice - Girls Aloud - 56 plays
2. PCP - Manic Street Preachers - 52 plays
3. Jungleland (Live NYC) - Springsteen - 46 plays
No Good Advice
...a worthy winner indeed, what a cracking song. If I was a 14 year old girl, I reckon it would be the best song ever
Best "pop" song in the past 25 years
easily.
I think Julie Burchill said in her column a few years back that it was the best pop song ever.
Not sure if it beats She Loves You or Billie Jean but what a fucking song!
A new iPod
...so hasn't assembled many stats, but with the previous three, regularly rising to the top of the heap was Rockaway Beach by The Ramones.
I didn't know I liked Yo La Tengo this much...
1. Sugarcube - Yo La Tengo. (906 plays).
2. Straight Down To The Bitter End - Yo La Tengo. (894 plays).
3. Holland, 1945 - Neutral Milk Hotel (660 plays).
Good grief man!
You've spent 120 hours of your life listening to just those 2 Yo La Tengo songs!
Respect.
No Surprises
1. Smokestack Lightnin' - Howlin' Wolf (103)
2. Tumbling Dice - The Stones (101)
3. Forty Days & Forty Nights - Muddy Waters (99)
Three...
great tunes.
It's like new music doesn't happen..........
I've only had iTunes since last September.

choices aside
If You're Ready (Come Go With Me) - Staple Singers 38 plays
Sugarman - Rodriguez 23 plays
Let It Loose - Rolling Stones 20 plays
Hmmm
1. Elbow – One Day Like This: 68 plays
2. Mumford & Sons – The Cave: 51 plays
3. The Flaming Lips – Do You Realize??: 43 plays
Interesting - only one of those is also in the top 5 albums and none are in the top 10 artists I play (according to Last FM).
Is there a way of doing this from an iPhone?
my iTunes library lists the number of plays that tracks have been given by the iPod or the computer itself, but not my i`phone - which is the device I use most these days.
continue to ignore that - I've just figured it out, however, I can't get it to sort by plays,
From Last.Fm since I play Through Spotify
1.Everything Everything-Two For Nero: 99 plays
2.Everything Everything-Final Form: 84 plays
3.Everything Everything-Schoolin': 80 plays
Guess I must like Everything Everything

I feel I have to explain the last one: I heard it first on here, and it's screamingly funny. Since then I've played through a succession of friends' headphones, car stereos and home speakers at any opportunity, declaring "You HAVE to listen to this..."
Here's mine
