By installing some clever software on your PC (harmless), information about the mp3s you play will be sent to the music website www.last.fm.

Below are the number of plays that Fundamental songs got over the past 6 months

I'm With Stupid: 4454
Minimal 4176
Psychological 3732
The Sodom and Gomorrah Show 3699
Numb 3457
God Willing 3186
Integral 3167
Casanova In Hell 3098
Luna Park 3079
I Made My Excuses And Left 3044
Twentieth Century 2959
Indefinite Leave To Remain 2829
Fugitive (Richard X Extended Mix) 1662

btw: Some results (TSAGS and Fugitive) are cumulated results, since people label their mp3's differently, causing two 'track titles' to chart. I find the high position for Psychological quite remarkable. Same goes for God Willing.

* = cumulated results.

What I find quite remarkable here, is that some singles are completely missing, for instance Se A Vida E and Single-Bilingual. It should be noted that some singles may actually have been played more often than this list suggests and that for instance "Was It Worth It" without the question mark got 300 plays. I also find the result for Miracles pretty poor, compared to Flamboyant !

Yeah, I saw this statistics yesterday also. So high interest of Psychological is really sudden and impressive. I could expect chart order like this only when album is scarcely out/leak into the web, and notorious leaked instrumental of Psychological was played hundreds times for a few months by then. What's remains vaguely - in this top last.fm count only single/album version or mixes as well (counting them as a single track)?

Please tell which is the most played PSB non-single which is not a Fundamental album track.

Thanks. It's also interesting that while the most played PSB tracks are the classic eighties singles, the most popular album tracks are from Very and Nightlife.
