last.fm: 50,000!

"I'm just a crazy fool." - Osunlade, Crazy Love

Sometime early last week, last.fm scrobbled the 50,000th song that I've listened to  either on a computer or on my iPod since joining the site on January 25th, 2005. In that time, I've listened to just about all my music via iTunes so it is a pretty accurate reflection of my listening habits. It averages out to about 575 songs per week. I don't mind saying that that's a lot of music.

In honor of that, here's my very first weekly artist top 10 (12). It generated on February 20th, 2005:

1. MF Doom - 60
2. Viktor Vaughn - 37
3. Gang Starr - 27
4. Jaylib - 10
5. Charizma & Peanut Butter Wolf - 10
6. Jean Grae - 7
7. Erykah Badu - 7
8. Beastie Boys - 7
9. Jamiroquai - 6
10. Q and Not U - 6
11. The Roots - 6
12. Jay-Z - 6

And, 50,000 songs later...

1. Justin Timberlake - 66
2. Oh No - 56

5. Danity Kane - 24
6. Under The Influence of Giants - 21
7. M.I.A. - 20
8. Kelis - 18
