At the end of each year, yes I know I'm a few days early but bah I have to move house at the start of the new year, I like to summarise the music I've been listening to. The last few years have been much easier as last.fm keeps hold of that info. I suspect that its missing about 20% of the music I listen to, which isn't scrobbled for one reason and another. It might be a little higher than that but I don't like to include the car journeys when we are using the CD player.
I was a little shocked to see the number 1 artist of the year, and indeed a few different names in the top 10. I'm putting this down to a Calgary scene influence... (number, artist, plays)
1 Daft Punk 1,163
2 Linkin Park 664
3 Avril Lavigne 552
4 My Chemical Romance 526
5 Tiësto 522
6 Rise Against 285
7 Angels & Airwaves 271
8 Dead by April 259
9 Lostprophets 239
10 Disturbed 238
I have to say I did love the Daft Punk Tron album so I'm guessing this is what dominates that. I also find Tiesto quite good for background music whilst I'm reading (in particular I really think Kaleidoscope fits in really well with the Garth Nix books I've been reading).
Not that much new for 2011 in this list though. Wonder if that will change in 2012.
