Listen up: Recently, I discovered the “View Options” control on the edit menu in iTunes would allow me to display a column that tracks how many times I have listened to each tune. Tonight I sorted my song library by the times=played column and was rather startled by the songs played the most.
So here, for no easily understandable reason, are, what I assume would be the Top Four songs on my “Hit” list.
1. Uncle Pen (Ricky Skaggs) - played 22 times
2. Cuckoo’s Nest (Nickel Creek) - 18
3. Girl from Impanema (Stan Getz) - 18
4. Ariel Ramirez (or, as we call it around here: that song from the VW Toureg commercial) (Richard Buckner) - 17
Go figure.

I have an iTune playlist that was installed by iTunes called “Top 25 Most Played.” This morning I was laughing at the numbers for some of the streams I listen to most.
Groove Salad: 183 Plays
Virgin Radio: 103 Plays
DI.FM Jazz: 98 Plays
Unfortunately it doesn’t list some Real and Windows media streams I love but can’t play through iTunes.

I listen to iTunes on Party Shuffle a lot - and one day I realized that it seemed to be picking one song and playing it statistically significantly more than the other 700 in my library. So I would suspect that my “Top Four” songs according to iTunes would be different than my real top four songs - if I could pick only four!
