I listed to a total of 2669 songs in 2014 and here’s the list of the top 30 based on iTunes play counts. No surprise that spring releases from The Black Keys and Foster the People were high on this chart. Franz Ferdinand‘s 2013 release got lots of plays leading up to attending their concert in April.
Charli XCX‘s “Break the Rules” was played a total of 42 times, counting different remixes and versions in my library. That’s a pretty good showing considering those plays all took place after December 13.
Every year needs a novelty hit, and for me that was the “iPhone (MetroGnome Remix)” that featured riffs on Apple’s iPhone ringtones.
2669 unique songs is a big increase from previous years – 2009 (1431), 2010 (1539), 2011 (1337), 2012 (1479), and 2013 (1836).
