Interlude - Joey’s Top 25 Most Played as of July 2008
Joey Michaels on July 23rd, 2008Out of curiosity, I thought now would be a good time to review the Top 25 Most Played songs in my iTunes library. Will the “A” and “B” artists dominate, or are the songs that were tops back when I had the iPod Shuffle instead of my 80mb iPod still rule the day?

I confess, this has been driven mostly by random plays, and mostly from the days of my iPod Shuffle. The two Belle and Sebastian songs have been in the top 25 for over a year, though I suspect “Your Cover’s Blown” go a big boost when I was writing about that band. Tracks #1 and #4 were both songs my wife and I used during our wedding reception and, thus, they got a whole lot play last summer.
I’ll check back on this in a few months if anything has changed.
