Itunes playcount thread

[BlueSwan]

I'm bored. Let's post itunes playcount lists of our most played songs in various categories, or just overall.

I started using Itunes in february 2009 and has pretty much tracked everything I've listened to ever since, since I very rarely listen to the radio.

My top 15 most played PSB tracks are all from post february-2009 (i.e. the "Yes"-era), so instead here are my top 10 played PSB tracks released BEFORE february 2009:

1. I'm Not Scared (18 plays)
2. Two Divided By Zero (17 plays)
3. Fugitive (15 plays)
4. Casanova In Hell (12 plays)
5. Always (11 plays)
6. Love Is A Catastrophe (10 plays)
6. Dreaming Of The Queen (10 plays)
8. Rent (9 plays)
8. Casting A Shadow (9 plays)
8. This Must Be The Place (9 plays)
8. Your Funny Uncle (9 plays)
8. Later Tonight (9 plays)
8. Violence (9 plays)

Incidentally my overall most played PSB top 5 list goes as follows:

1. The Way It Used To Be (79 plays)
2. All Over The World (album version and Christmas version added together) (77 plays)
3. King Of Rome (52 plays)
4. This Used To Be The Future (45 plays)
5. More Than A Dream (36 plays)

Overall most played songs top 10:

1. Lady Gaga: Bad Romance (album and single version combined) - 106 plays
2. Pet Shop Boys: The Way It Used To Be - 79 plays
3. Pet Shop Boys: All Over The Worls (album and single version combined) - 77 plays
4. Pet Shop Boys: King Of Rome - 52 plays
5. Eminem feat Lil' Wayne: No Love - 46 plays
6. Medina: Kun For Mig - 45 plays (however several other versions got a lot of plays too, not counted here)
7. Pet Shop Boys: This Used To Be The Future (45 plays)
8. Eminem: Insane (44 plays)
9. Lady Gaga: Paparazzi (41 plays)
10. Lady Gaga: So Happy I Could Die (41 plays)
11. Amy Diamond: It's My Life (40 plays)
11. Take That: Kidz (40 plays)
13. Take That: The Flood (39 plays)
14. Röyksopp: Miss It So Much (38 plays)
14. Take That: Wait (38 plays)
14. Take That: Eight Letters (38 plays)
14. Take That: Flower Bed (38 plays)
18. Lady Gaga: Dance In The Dark (37 plays)
19. Alis & Julie Maria: Pagten (36 plays)
19. Pet Shop Boys: More Than A Dream (36 plays)

Clearly my most played list is too dominated by PSB (5), Lady Gaga (4), Take That (5) and Eminem (2). However, this is mostly due to me rarely playing even songs I love to death, so the VERY few acts where I often listen to a whole album, has a huge advantage over every other act.

Had it been since 1991-1992, it would present a better representation of my album preference (i.e. Behaviour and Please), but alas, I played Fundamental to death upon its release, and am frankly very bored of it now.

Here's a random chart for you - most played songs that were released in the 80's:

1. Boytronic: Don't Let Me Down (US Club mix) (29 plays)
2. Dionne Warwick: All The Love In The World (22 plays) - just outside the top 75 of most played songs overall.
3. Jack'n'Chill: The Jack That House Built (20 plays)
4. Tanita Tikaram: Twist In My Sobriety (20 plays)
5. Rick Astley: Whenever You Need Somebody (19 plays)
6. L.A.Mix: Check This Out (18 plays)
6. Pet Shop Boys: I'm Not Scared (18 plays)
8. Bananarama: I Heard A Rumour (17 plays)
8. Pet Shop Boys: Two Divided By Zero (17 plays)
10. Donna Summer: This Time I Know It's For Real (extended mix) (16 plays)
10. Sinitta: I Don't Believe In Miracles (Merlins Magical mix) (16 plays)

#1 is a song I had on a worn cassette back in the 80's and then rediscovered a couple of years ago.

Songs from the 90's:

1. Jay-Z: Lucky Me (22 plays)
2. Elton John: The Last Song (21 plays)
3. Bonnie Tyler: Making Love Out Of Nothing At All (19 plays)
4. Beverley Craven: Promise Me (18 plays)
5. Extreme: Tragic Comic (16 plays)
6. OMD: All That Glitters (16 plays)
7. Silje Vige: Alle Mine Tankar (16 plays)
8. Bee Gees: For Whom The Bell Tolls (14 plays)
9. Cappella: I Need Your Love (Mediterranean Mix) (14 plays)
10. Idde Schultz: Fiskarna I Haven (14 plays)
11. Love Shop: Livet Er En Fest (14 plays)
12. Shakespears Sister: Hello (Turn Your Radio On) (14 plays)

This is a funny list given that #1 and #3 were songs I only came to know AFTER 2009, so them featuring here is a bit misleading. Songs #2, #5, #6 and #9 were songs I had pretty much forgotten about and then rediscovered recently.

Songs from the 70's:

1. Elton John: Song for Guy (21 plays)
2. ABBA: Mamma Mia (17 plays)
3. Gasolin': Masser Af Succes (16 plays)
4. Electric Light Orchestra: Strange Magic (12 plays)
5. Jean Michel Jarre: Oxygene part II (11 plays)
5. Olivia Newton-John: Hopelessly Devoted To You (11 plays)
7. Beatles: Across The Universe (10 plays)
7. Bee Gees: How Deep Is Your Love (10 plays)
7. Elton John: Goodbye Yellow Brick Road (10 plays)
7. Kate Bush: Wuthering Heights (10 plays)
7. Moody Blues: Isn't Life Strange (10 plays)
7. Motors: Airport (10 plays)

Mamma Mia is FAR from my favourite ABBA tune. It is up there due to my kids constantly wanting to hear it.
