I joined last.fm on December 30th, 2005. After my first year, I did some "end of year" stats. I haven't done this for the past two years, but for 2009, it's back! Here are the following stats:

On January 1, 2010, I have a total of: 13,748 tracks listened to.

2009 was another great year. Even though I have slacked in my music-listening since 2006, I hope to really pick up the pace in 2010. My goal for 2010 is to have at least 17,000 tracks listened to by the time 2011 hits. Additionally, I hope to release an album myself.

Thanks for reading,
