Once again, here be a round-up of the most-played songs from the past year, courtesy of those little chart-makers at Last.Fm. Aren't they brilliant? I mean, how else would you find out that I'd listened to McFly a total of 437 times in twelve months? You can't put a price on information like that. So, last year a surprise victory for When You Were Young by The Killers. Can they make it two-years running at the top of my charts? Drumroll please...

So that'll be a no... When You Were Young didn't even make it into the Top 50 this year! That's quite a drop. Instead, Mr Tom McRae returns to his rightful position of No1, with his beautiful cover version of Oh Yeah. Looking at the chart, it was quite a year for Tom McRae. And before I start to analyse that in any great detail, I'm going to fuck off. I know this is of no interest to anyone but me. (Although feel free to check back next year to see if Tom can make it a second year at the top...)
