Last.FM Charts For 2006

And now for the second in an occasional series of blogs. I say 'occasional' - it's pretty much designed to be once a year. It's time to reveal the songs I listened to the most during the slightly-above-average year of 2006. Ladbrokes have been taking bets, you know.

Can Silent Boulevard cling onto the top spot for a second year running? Are the charts as overrun with soppy love songs as this time last year? Just how many times can one man listen to Run? The answers to all these questions, and many more that are almost-certainly on the tips of your tongues, can be found below.
