2012 Top 25 Most Played iTunes

Last year I became reconnected with my iTunes (don't know how I lived before without my iPhone) so I shared my 2011 Top 25 Most Played iTunes, and figured I'd keep doing it.

Most of the songs listed aren't a surprise.  At times this year it felt like the only thing keeping me going was listing to some of the songs listed.  I am a bit surprised at where some of the songs landed on the list though.

2011 Top 25 Most Played iTunes

I've been trying to figure out how to capture my Top 25 Most Played list on iTunes.  I'm assuming there's a way to do that but if there is I haven't figured it out.  I tried different ways but none of them actually work well for sticking them in a my blog so... I guess I'm going to have to go old school and type it out.  Ugh!

I would just like to take a moment to say, as nicely as possible, that I totally think iTunes LIES.  I've noticed that it hasn't captured some plays or increased the number of plays on others.  I've been watching for the past couple of days to see if my suspicions were correct or not.  I have yet to be suspicious when it's not warranted.  

Yeah, that's my round about way of saying I was right.  Not that it really matters since this isn't anything earth shattering but if iTunes is going to count then they should count and do it correctly.

23. Letters from the Sky- Civil Twilight - Civil Twilight
24. Doris Day (Non-Album Track) - Jack's Mannequin - The Glass Passenger Amazon Exclusive
25. Half of My Heart - John Mayer - Battle Studies

I'm a little surprised by the list.  I thought for sure there would have been more Jimmy Eat World & Death Cab for Cutie songs listed but if I think about it I guess I listened to both of their new albums (Invented and Codes & Keys, respectfully) in CD form before I got my iPhone (in July).  I'm, also, surprised that Thieves by She and Him and Half of My Heart by John Mayer made it to the top 25.  I don't remember making a conscious effort to listen to either of those songs.  Having Jack's Mannequin & Something Corporate with so many songs listed isn't a surprise, though some of the song choices are.  

The top play number is 35, but like I said I swear iTunes is WAY off in their count.  Like maybe it ran out of fingers and toes to count on or had a tragic bout of amnesia somewhere along the way.

Since there have been many a time when I've downloaded a ton of new songs at once I've just gotten into the habit of listening to my iTunes on shuffle.  It's the lazy way of listening to music but sometimes its just too hard to pick what I wanna listen to, especially when I have so much great music to choose from.

I'm sure no one really cares what I've been listening to, especially since I'm not forcing you to listen with me, but posting it all on here is the easiest way for me to track it.  I mean, this is my reference point when my memory fails.  I don't know how many times I've checked my past posts to find some sort of information that I couldn't remember on my own.  

Anyway, I'm interested in seeing what will be the top 25 for this year.
