Musical Shaystistics

This isn't really meant to be a creative blog post, just an overall reflection on my 2008. This is kind of for my own personal use, but certainly feel free to listen to anything posted below (since I listen to it, it's gotta be good). Anyways, these were my music listening statistics from the last year taken straight from my last.fm profile.

Jay's 25 Most Listened to Artists in 2008 (in order):
1. Thrice
2. City and Colour
3. Kanye West
4. Clipse
5. Jose Gonzalez
6. Alexisonfire
7. Lil Wayne
8. Blu & Exile
9. Kidz in the Hall
10. The Beatles
11. Arctic Monkeys
12. A Tribe Called Quest
13. Stevie Wonder
14. Nas
15. Lupe Fiasco
16. A Hero From A Thousand Paces
17. Good Shoes
18. Closure in Moscow
19. Freeway
20. The Pack
21. Saosin
22. Jay-Z
23. The Kooks
24. Atmosphere
25. Jah Cure

A nice healthy mix of artists. No surprise with Thrice in first, not to mention some acoustic solo artists (City and Colour and Jose), British representation (Arctic Monkeys, The Kooks, Good Shoes, The freakin Beatles), a whole bunch of rappers, a blind guy, and a reggae artist who spent 7 years in prison. I'm an equal opportunist, what can I say.
