Traditions are made out of repetition, so here's another most played music of the year... 2009 edition. Yay!

Just like in past years, this chart is ordered by averaged plays - Averaged plays = Total Plays / Album Total tracks; And like journals past, this one is not without a small sob story of lost scrobbles. Aside from the usual mishaps there was also a computer breakdown halfway through the year that made the gap between my local library and the last.fm stats even greater for those albums that were released on the first half of the year. No need to cry much because I was able to update my library, so technically no stats were lost, just scrobbles. *sigh*

About 2009 I will say that there was just too much music to take in, especially on the second half of the year. This led to many albums not getting enough plays, even though I did enjoyed them, there was just not enough time for them to gain proper chart recognition. Yes, a list of most played albums is not an accurate thing.

Stats collected using troublewithdreams.com/scrobbler

Total Tracks Played: 4800 (31.2 per day)

Artists:
# 1. (1) Animal Collective: 305
My new favourite band. Currently 4th in my overall charts but will probably be higher by the end of the year.
# 2. (2) Radiohead: 236
A staple of my musical diet. Been number 1 in my charts for as long as i can remember. I may own all their albums but I'm still finding great Radiohead music through various b-sides and out-takes.
# 3. (3) James Yuill: 228
A relatively new artist that I can't seem to stop listening to. Folktronica they call it, damn catchy.
# 4. (4) Penguin Cafe Orchestra: 151
Modern classical music. Very easy to listen to and great to work to. Pity they're not still making music.
# 5. (5) Röyksopp: 134
