dotintheskyMost popular artists in my music library in 2012:
Madonna has dropped one position in my charts this year, which can only mean two things: I didn't clean my house as often as 2011 and I didn't listen much to her new album. Usual suspects in the top 5 and across the chart, with some notable newbies: Saint Etienne and Ladytron, who released fantastic pop albums this year, Anouar Brahem, who records lovely classical albums, and Cat Power, because one of our recent guests gave me all her albums as MP3s. Kronos Quartet also have great classical albums which I enjoy listening to during the weekend when I don't feel like hearing another human being's voice.
Most popular tracks in my music library in 2012:
Somebody hacked into my Last.FM account! There's no other explanation for Jermaine Stewart being so high in my charts (ahem). Austra's Lose It, on the other hand, is a perfect pop song and was on repeat for a good chunk of my year. Their whole album is great and I recommend it. Same goes for Icona Pop's I Love It (the sound of 2012's summer if it'd had any sunshine). Release an album already, Icona Pop! One Dove's White Love is on this chart because I fell asleep with my iPod one night and it got played on repeat for 8 hours straight. It's the same for Andrew Lawrence-King and Eternal Summers, who I have no clue who they are or how they ended up in my iTunes. The other tracks are 80s pop and Alternative tracks from post-punk period as per usual.
