Top Songs of 2010

greek-soundtrackHere are my most-listened to songs of 2010, based on playcounts from iTunes and iPods. My favorite song of the year also tops the list, “I am Jesus” by Infant Sorrow from the Get Him to the Greek soundtrack. Also high on the list was Metric, Editors (a holdover from last year’s list), and We Are the Fallen.

I had several mashups on the list, including the KISS/Beyonce “I was made for Dreaming ’bout” and “Love Exploder” featuring Jefferson Airplane and Tenacious D.

One thing to note is that my playcounts for 2010 are a lot less than the top totals for 2009 or 2008. Not sure exactly what that means, as I didn’t view my music listening to be particularly different this past year. Overall, I listened to 1539 songs at least once in 2010, a number higher than 2009 and 2008.
