Top 25

Around this time last year, in an attempt to kill some time, Jon and I started exchanging the songs on our 'Top 25 Most Played' ipod list. Needless to say, his was much, much cooler than mine. I love the list because there's no way to pretend that a certain song somehow just found its way on there. There's no getting around the Top 25.

It also made me wonder, how is the list compiled? How many times does a song have to be played to make it to the top? For example, (see also below) what if I was really into my MGMT cd one week? Will my Top 25 adjust itself then? Who knows the answers to my questions? Scientist?

So I pulled out the old list again this morning hoping to see something other than the Kings of Leon infestation I was forced to list last year. No dice. The list is pretty much exactly the same. So here it is, for your viewing pleasure, in all its embarrassing glory:

1) Soft - Kings of Leon
2) The Bucket - (see above)
3) Paper Planes - MIA
4) Taper Jean Girl - ugh
5) Kids - MGMT
6) Time to Pretend - MGMT
7) Let the Beat Build - Lil Wayne
8) Smash Your Head - Girl Talk
9) In Transit - Albert Hammond Jr
10) LES Artistes - Santogold
11) Everyone Gets a Star - Albert Hammond Jr
12) Tears Dry on Their Own - Amy Winehouse
13) California Stars - Billy Bragg and Wilco
14) Weekend Wars - MGMT
15) Skinny Love - Bon Iver
16) Electric Feel - MGMT
17) I Feel it All - Feist
18) Milk - Kings of Leon
19) Believe - The Bravery
20) The Skin of my Yellow Country Teeth - Clap Your Heads
21) Slow Night, So Long - (guess who?)
22) Pistol of Fire - (again)
23) You - Atmosphere
24) Obstacle 1 - Interpol
25) Devil's Waitin - Black Rebel

My new goal is to diversify. I don't want to check back in a month and see the same songs.

Now please share yours so I won't feel so bad.
