Today (two years, and one day into last.fm), I played my 100,000 track, Same Mistake, by James Blunt.

It is the first time I played a 'milestone-track' on purpose. I must admit, I was hoping to play my 100,000 track on my 2nd anniversary here on last.fm, but I have seemed to have gotten somewhat of a life lately.

It took 2 months 2 weeks to play 10,000 tracks from my 90,000.

My top actual song (having excluded Dark Empire (Remix) as a song because its length) Un Giorno Per Noi by Josh Groban has passed the 1,000 threshold.

84 Plays currently separate number one track Dark Empire (Remix) & number two track Un Giorno Per Noi.

With a track length of 5:10, Un Giorno Per Noi, if I played it consecutively would have to run for 4.6 days.

On the other hand, Dark Empire (Remix), with a track length of 0:35, has only been played for 10.5 hours.

Today, I played my 10,000th track from X-Ray Dog.

They are the first artist in my almost two years here on last.fm to reach 10,000 plays.

After just listening to Dominion on my Zune, I couldn't resist creating a journal on the music group Future World Music.

Future World Music is a high impact soundtrack source that has the big epic sound and style of an actual feature length motion picture score.

The fourth (4th) track to make my most played Overall Tracks this year is Everyday It's 1989 by Moby.

With 193 plays, Everyday It's 1989 is now my 4th most played track of this year behind Canto Della Terra by Andrea Bocelli (now flirting with my top ten tracks overall; at #13 on Overall, with 315 plays), Canto Della Terra by Sarah Brightman (#38, with 214 plays), and Our Great Divide by Tarja Turunen (#43, with 206 plays).

My 90,000th track, according to last.fm stats was Cherish's song Fool 4 You.

It took my 2 months, 2 days to play 10,000 tracks.

I re-discovered this song recently. It has been played 69 times (June 15), and sits in the two hundreds on my Overall Tracks played.

Looking back at stats, I have played my current top artist X-Ray Dog every week since May 22, 2007. Not only are they the first artist that have been played every week for a year, no other artist even comes close.

X-Ray Dog, the musical project which creates music for trailers, has been atop of my overall artist list from July 2007, meaning they have been reigning atop the charts for 10 months. No doubt they will make a year. Currently I have played X-Ray Dog a staggering 9,459. Again, I am in no doubt that they will…

My eighty thousandth track was Era – Secrets Of The Soul.

Honorable mention for my current reigning #1 king of weekly tracks now goes to Canto Della Terra by Andrea Bocelli. That track has been number one for 7 out of 9 weeks since I discovered it back in the week ending February 3, 2008.

(The two times it never made it to the most played track of the week was because of Future World Music song Aqua Vitae, and the first week I discovered it, when I was in awe of Sarah Brightman's duet with Andrea, for the same song, Canto Della Terra.)

No other track has been…

Oh yes, my #5 most played artist Era (2,934), #8 E.S. Posthumus (1954), and Moby, who now sits at #23 with 802 plays have all released new album recently, and I got a hold of them.

Firstly, I was ecstatic to learn (via E.S Posthumus' page on last.fm of course) that they released a new album (Cartographer) months ago! So I quickly downloaded, and got listening. First impressions? First CD with that lady singing is very unlike the E.S. I loved. Second CD was more like it, but to date only 4 songs I consider good. They…
