As Promised from my November 24th post here is my year end list of iTunes / iPod stats. So here is a look a look see of what I actually like to listen to. My top 25 played songs, and the songs I recently added to my playlist. I would have added the most recently played songs but I noticed that they were all listed in alphabetical order.

GJ WILLIS’ 25 Most Listened To iPod Songs for 2007

Snow Patrol video for Chasing Cars


For the most part I would consider these to be my own personal comfort food for the ears. The majority of songs on this list are not new but simply music I like to listen to to cheer myself up. From looking at this list I get the impression that I really like Rob Zombie, Linkin Park and Five for Fighting an aweful lot. Also it appears that Chasing Cars from Snow Patrol was my most listened to song before I flipped the format of my iPod to Christmas music. I do not know why I like that song but I do. It has a very urgent immediate feel to it. It kind of reminds me of a U2 ballad.
