After only two months since discovering X-Ray Dog, they have been played 5,514 times, beating my previous number one artist, Lesiem which now stands at 5,431 plays. I discovered Lesiem back in November of 2006, while on the other hand, I discovered X-Ray Dog in May 2007. And since then, they have been my number one artist played each week. Tying Lesiem's record at 7 weeks at number one.

What undoubtedly propelled X-Ray Dog to number one is the fact that I have 291 songs by the group in my library, compared to Lesiem's 38 tracks. Another factor is…

Calypso

40,000th track played was Dreamstate by X-Ray Dog.

I have recently discovered X-Ray Dog, and Immediate Music, and have been playing themn almost exclusively for the past couple of weeks.

Other stats:
4197 tracks played per month
139 tracks played per day.

Time to reach 40,000 from 30,000. 2 months exactly.

About 3 weeks ago while watching (the very lame) Spider-Man 3, the trailer for Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End literally blew me away. Not because it's the new installment of the popular Pirates of the Caribbean, no, actually, I'm not a fan of the series/ trilogy. But the trailer was awesome because the music.

I was probably the only person excited because the music that ran throughout the trailer was fucking amazing. More specifically as I found out just last week, after weeks of looking, X-Ray Dog. The track is only half a minute long, but by…

Playing unplayed songs on my Zune one dark Thursday April 26 I came across Stay With Me, and from the first time I heard it, I was in love. I've had their album from Danity Kane since it came out, but only listened to the hits Hold Me Down, and Show Stopper which are good, but not Stay With Me good.

It's been a while since I listened to some good R&B tracks, and this one brought me right back to the good old days. Since then I have played this song over 120 times (consecutively), the song…

Stats:
30,000 Tracks played since August 30 2006. 30,000th track Getting So Excited.

4010 tracks played per month.
133 tracks played per day.

Time to reach 10,000: 3 months
Time to reach 20,000: 2.5 months
Time to reach 30,000: 2 months, 6 days.

On a side note, I've been playing Bonnie Tyler alot lately.

Noticing that Mystic Spirit Voices is, according to Last.fm, my most played album in the six months I've been registered I decided to last.fm review my first album track by track.

1.Lesiëm
According to my statistics, the first track from Lesiëm's Mystic Spirit Voices album is my favourite track from Lesiëm.

I love the simplicity of the lyrics (although I am yet to translate it properly.)

Nemo Lessus Lesiem
Non Culpa In Cano
Sancto Famulus
Amatio Cum Amoris Ardor

Maybe the reason why I've played this track 570 times in three months is the calm (and unobtrusive) repetitive…

If We Hold On Together was my 20,000th track. Played on February 6 2007. Five months two weeks after I registered.

My current top artist Lesiem has been at the top of my most played artist for the week for seven straight weeks. More than anyone to this point. Beginning the week of December 11 2006, and ending the week of January 28th 2007.

The new age band first topped my weekly list with the song
Justitia (Justice), with 71 plays during the week ending Dec. 17 06. The last top played song by Lesiem was the song of the same name: Lesiem which was played 44 times (it tied with Kenny G's How Could an Angel Break My Heart…

I think my suspicions have finally been confirmed. I am a music addict. Today after less than 90 days registered on Last.fm, I played my 10,000th track (Smell of Desire).

On another note, I recently found E.S. Posthumus & Era, and I think these guys are going to top my weekly. Also I also think that for the first time I would have scrobbed over 1000 songs in a week, but we'll have to wait and see for that.
