Notes:

  • For whatever reason – Last.fm decided to split “Departures – Volume 1″ into about 6 albums – so stats for it are much higher – but don’t affect the lists above.
  • Interesting stats: 5564 plays: an average of 104.98 songs per week and 5459.02 per year
  • Actual dates I recorded plays for during 2011 were between 02/01/2011 and 31/12/2011
  • The numbers in brackets above indicate the number of plays.
