Okay this is a fun one. You select “number of plays” in your iTunes Library and find the song you have listened to the most times.
That will be the first song on your list.
Next on the list will be the song with second most plays – but it has to be by a different artist, so if your #1 and #2 most played song are by the same band go down the count until you find a song by someone else.
Continue down the list in this fashion – once an act has a “most-played” song, skip them entirely.
Solo acts are different than the bands (John Lennon / Beatles … Lionel Richie / Commodores)
If there is a tie among number of plays by the same artist, pick the one you like better at the moment you compile the list.
Post your top ten list – with the number of plays the #1 song has and the #10 song has.
