OK, Part 2 will have to be done differently.
excludinganything not played in 2005 or the top songs already covered (they take their playcounts with them when they're moved into iPod apparently)
I wish you could search this by most played during a specific time period. The iPod most played list includes (alpha order):
Alive -Beastie Boys
The Blowers Daughter -Damien Rice
Hollaback Girl -Gwen Stefani
Just Like a Pill -Pink
Knock Yourself Out -Jon Brion from
I Heart HuckabeesLot's Wife -Tonya Pinkins from
Caroline or ChangePavement Cracks -Annie Lennox
Precious Box -George Michael
Triumph of the Heart -Björk
Unforgiven -The Go-Gos
What Are U Waiting For? -Gwen Stefani
You're My Only Home -Magnetic Fields
The absolute weirdest thing about all of these playcount lists is that
Scissor Sisters barely show up anywhere and theirs is definitely the CD I have listened to most in the past year. Ah, but it's in the ancient device in my living room: The CD player.
