iTunes Most Played

So I keep seeing these blogs where people post like the 25 songs they’ve played the most on iTunes. Now since getting an iPod I don’t listen to music through iTunes anymore – has a tendency to pause too much. However there doesn’t seem to be a way to find your most played on the iPod so I guess I’ll go through my main iTunes list – ignore the play lists – and see which ones I played the most. I’m going to go over the top 25 as well just cause I feel like it!

1 A Little Less Conversation – Elvis Presley & JLX

2 Every Breath You Take – The Police

3 How Deep Is Your Love – The Bee Gees (aka The Brothers Gibb)

4 Sam’s Song – Sammy Davis Jr & Dean Martin

5 You’re Looking Hot Tonight – Barry Manilow

6 Me & My Shadow – Frank Sinatra & Sammy Davis Jr

7 Beautiful Music – Barry Manilow

8 Swinging On A Star – Bing Crosby

9 Something’s Gotta Give – Sammy Davis Jr

10 I Wanna Be Loved – The Andrews Sisters

11 I’m You’re Man – Barry Manilow

12 Moonlight Becomes You – Bing Crosby

13 This Is Fine – Barry Manilow

14 Love Me Or Leave Me – Sammy Davis Jr

15 Shoo Shoo Baby – The Andrews Sisters

16 Rum And Coca-Cola – The Andrews Sisters

17 Brooklyn Blues – Barry Manilow

18 Viva Las Vegas – Elvis Presley

19 Surrender – Elvis Presley

20 The Lady Is A Tramp – Frank Sinatra

21 Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy – The Andrews Sisters

22 Big City Blues – Barry Manilow & Mel Torme (I don’t know how to do that special little e thingie.)

23 Moonlight Cocktail – Glenn Miller

24 Too Close For Comfort – Sammy Davis Jr

25 The Birth Of The Blues – Sammy Davis Jr

26 It’s Not Unusual – Tom Jones

27 At The Dance – Barry Manilow

28 Jump Shout Boogie – Barry Manilow

29 I Made It Through The Rain – Barry Manilow

30 Raining In My Heart – Buddy Holly

31 Listen To Me – Buddy Holly

32 Lookin’ Out My Back Door – CCR

33 Ain’t That A Kick In The Head – Dean Martin

34 Sittin’ On Top Of The World – Dean Martin

35 Sway – Dean Martin

I think 35 is enough, actually.

Like I said though, I don’t listen to music on iTunes since getting my iPod. I add songs, yes, obviously. But it’s my iPod I listen to them on. So if one were to find my most played on my iPod – if I knew how – the list wound be very different in places. Barry Manilow’s songs would probably be on the top of the list, especially Beautiful Music and It’s A Long Way Up. Sammy Davis Jr would be next – mostly I Gotta Be Me, Something’s Gotta Give, Happy Ending, and Love Me Or Leave Me. Then Buddy Holly’s Raining In My Heart, Elvis’ Viva Las Vegas (every time I see that damn Viagra commercial I have to listen to that song to purge the words “viva Viagra” out of my head), Glenn Miller’s Chattanooga Choo Choo (my ALL TIME FAVORITE SONG IN THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE) – I don’t know what else. I also happen to have on there Etta James, Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Michael Crawford, Neil Diamond, Benny Goodman, Louis Armstrong, Harry James – and a bunch of others.

I love my iPod. I joke to people that “It’s proof I do listen to people other then Barry Manilow” – I just don’t listen to anyone my people my own age listen to. I always said I was born in the wrong era. I should’ve been born long enough ago I could’ve danced to Glenn Miller’s music while he was alive.
