Last.fm Stats 2011, Part 1

Since the first three months of 2011 are done, it’s time to look at what I’ve been playing according to Last.fm. First, the artists:

  1. Daniël Lohues (134 plays)
  2. Bløf (104)
  3. After Forever (84)
  4. Simon & Garfunkel (80)
  5. Meat Loaf (61)
  6. Evergrey (60)
  7. Within Temptation (59)
  8. Dio (55)
  9. Rush (54)
  10. Claudia de Breij (48)

Daniël Lohues, Bløf, Evergrey and Within Temptation all released a new album, and the first two are my favorites of the year so far. Also, Last.fm only tracks what songs I play at home, on my PC. If it would also track what I play elsewhere, Bløf would have won this by a landslide. Filling up your mp3-player with just their music will do that. (If you wonder why I keep posting these stats when I know they’re not very accurate or complete, all I can say is: that’s a valid question. I don’t have much of an explanation beyond ‘I like lists and stats.’ Sorry. Deal with it.)

Anyway: the first twelve songs on the list of most played songs are not entirely surprisingly the twelve tracks found on Daniël Lohues’ Hout moet album, with six plays. The new tracks from mr. a balladeer’s Aside ep follow with four plays.
