Well, like most people here, it's getting late and I'm bored, so here's my random question: what is your most played song? This applies to only those with WMP, though I think iTunes have the play count thing too. If you don't have it enabled on WMP just go to the library tab>>library options>>choose columns...>>then check the box for "Play Count."

What is your most played song(s)? How many times have you listened to it? What is climbing up to the top spot? Who will take the gold medal!? How many songs/hours of music do you have? For me, it's Lawyers, Guns and Money by Warren Zevon at 45 with ænima by Tool closing in fast at 43. I have 2806 songs at 216 hrs 13 min 37 sec. And now it's almost time for Conan!

My most played song, by far is.........(drum roll, as if anyone gives a flying patoot).............Stairway To Heaven

Dunno, probably some trance song :)

I don't need no steenkin' WMP to know what song comes up, over and over and over...

'Zarah' by Nina Hagen. Damn freak!

acording to my ipod its actually 3 tied lol
Numb/Encore- Linkin Park/Jay-Z
Same Direction- Hoobastank
Set Me Free- Velvet Revolver

Hmm, mine is probably Pressing On by Relient K, I wouldn't know but at the moment it's on almost non stop :D

sweet! and a bump just cuz im bored

Coheed and Cambria, "In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3", 47 times.

Coheed has six of the top ten and 16 of the top 25 most-played songs.

Definitely Jumping Jack Flash by the rolling stones. I have several different versions of the same song and I always play them.

I have 1490 songs at 101 hrs, 29 mins, 35 seconds.

Meh, won't do any harm if I post how many songs I have, will it?
3922, 10 days 5 hours 37 minutes and 41 seconds... but not everything is songs.

Wow. My 1163 songs seems kind of insignificant by comparison.

Mars, Holst, as performed by the LSO. Not a song either. AH HA!

I have none of that stuff but Say it aint so Weezer is Number One

Klaatu - Hope
Badfinger - No Matter What
Sweet - Action
Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody

I like quite a lot of new music too, but these I have literally played to death, so many times I cannot begin to count them. The new songs I obsess about have not been around long enough to approach the numbers these have racked up. "Hope" in particular, has caused me to have to purchase two vinyl albums and two CD's over the years because I have worn out the album it was on.

I did see Aenima in someone's list though. Excellent song that.

I have 4560 songs (nearly 12 days). Of these, the most played are:

Sundays - Monochrome
The Mayflies USA - Getting To The End Of You
Silver Sun - Service
The Stone Roses - She Bangs The Drums

but dwarfing all these, with nearly twice as many as everything else...

I Am Kloot - Proof

3614 songs

#1 is tied with

Disturbed - Darkness
Within Temptation - Jillian
Green Day - Wake Me Up When September Ends

All on 37 times

Live - Lightning crashes (the live version from 1994)

I have none of that stuff but Say it aint so Weezer is Number One


Yeah, there you go. I'm pretty sure that Weezer's eponymous debut album is the most played album ever, in my stereo. Closely followed by Pinkerton.

My most played song right now would be "Love to let you down" by Life of Agony.

weekends: kaini industries- boards of canada

The most played song is Mudvayne's Death Blooms, its been played 21 times, but in second it's a tie between Mudvayne's Nothing to Gein and World So Cold which have both been played 20 times, I have 207 songs on the IPod and that adds up to 12.6 hours of music.

Intriguing question....

I am not sure, seeing as I have never kept a record... I tend to be a power-user; I'll listen to a few songs unendingly for the first few days after I download them and then move on to something new and exciting... That's how one ends up with 2600 songs on one's computer, I guess (Although it is a family comp, so some of the stuff is my siblings' and parents')...

In recent days there's been a lot of 'No Puedo Ma Sin Ti'/'I'm Your Man' by Enrique Iglesias, there's a Mighty Mighty Bosstones song stuck in my head, and a bit of both Theresa Sokyrka and Norah Jones doing 'Come Away With Me' just to make the mix a little bit more eclectic.

Strangely enough, Winamp has just decided to play 'It Don't Mean A Thing If It Ain't Got That Swing' by Eva Cassidy over and over again... So much for randomisation... :-S

Don't Wait Too Long by Madeleine Peyroux - leading with a massive 148

Close seconds - To Where You Are by Josh Groban and Augie's Great Municipal Band and End Credits from SW:EP1:TPM Soundtrack

:) Great song...

Comfortably Numb - Pink Floyd

I don't need no steenkin' WMP to know what song comes up, over and over and over...

'Zarah' by Nina Hagen. Damn freak!
Amazingly, that one comes up a lot here as well. The top 3 must be:

1: The Blitz - Warriors
2: Verlorne Jungs - Was war gestern los
3: Die Schröders - Saufen

I use the Foobar2000 player for mp3's and a good ole record player for the vinyl, so I can't really give numbers.

...So Dobbs... You're counting on getting reincarnated as Nina Hagen's mic as well? :p

Top played: Windmills of Your Mind (Instrumental Version)

I love that song.

"Badge" by Cream.

Newest Industry by Husker Du. I'm currently listening to it LOUDLY on my 5.1's :D.

Blue Sky by the Allman Brothers Band played 25 times on Itunes.

Good song. Little Martha wins my Allman Brothers count at 33. Blue sky: 21

1.Velvet Underground - Sweet Jane (33)

2. Velvet Underground - Rock 'n' Roll (31)

3. The Ramones - I Don't Wanna Walk Around With You (26)

4. The Ramones - Glad to See You Go (25)

5. Cretin Hop/Today Your Love.../53rd & 3rd/Beat on the Brat/Blitzkrieg Bop (tied for 24)

So Lou Reed takes the top 2 spots, but the Ramones have a larger quantity of songs in my top 5.

Newest Industry by Husker Du. I'm currently listening to it LOUDLY on my 5.1's :D.

Hey, I found some Husker Du on my Dad's old tapes so now I've heard

Hardly Getting Over It
Dead Set on Destruction

and another one that I really liked (also from Candy Apple Grey) that Dad only taped about 1/3 of and didn't write the title (*grumble*)

So yeah... they were alright, the one I don't know the name of was the best even though I only heard a bit of it
