Playcount Bonanza

   I'm going to give you a present for reading my blog. I'm going to do a show and tell of my most played songs on iTunes. Maybe that doesn't sound too exciting, but believe you me, it is entertainment at its finest.

The Almond's Very Questionable Most Played on iTunes
   1. Fancy Footwork by Chromeo, 290 plays. I listened to this song non-stop for roughly three weeks in grade twelve after hearing it at a dance audition. I still listen to it from time to time, but I wanna stress that those weeks were easily grounds to be admitted.

   2. Rococo by Arcade Fire, 229 plays. This is actually my favourite song ever. So... I guess thats not too embarrassing. However, what is embarrassing is that it is a staggering 61 plays behind first place.

   3. Nothin' On You by Bruno Mars, 202 plays. There we go, a real questionable choice. I don't even remember listening to this obsessively. I can't rightly say it was just a phase because I evidently listened to this moderately catchy song enough to make it my third most played.

   4. Make Me Wanna Die by The Pretty Reckless, 199 plays. Poised to overtake Bruno Mars, probably with a piano wire. Taylor Momsen is the lead singer of this band, and as much as I initially disliked her and her image, now I basically want to be her she's such a badass bitch. This song makes me want to traipse around in a studded leather jacket and bleach my hair and have people think that I contract STIs (but really I would still be Jenny for the block, as they say).

   5. Bigger by The Backstreet Boys, 196 plays. This song was released in 2009, so it is an old man BSB hit. Or not hit, actually. My bestie and I casually rock out to this song sometimes, and yes, its embarrassing but the old guys look really cute in the music video. However I did not watch the music video while racking up those playcounts...

   6. The Suburbs by Arcade Fire, 177. A significant drop in plays from fifth place despite being a better song than almost all of the above. Pretty standard. Fav band. Don't be a player hater.

   7. Pretty Girl Rock by Keri Hilson, 171 plays. Fun fact: one time my friends and I were trying to do the dance that she does in the music video, and on of the other party guests asked us if we were river dancing. I like to think of this song as a girl power anthem, however some would just argue that its for cocky bitches. Whatever, its given me the rattiest comeback to any insult ever, "jealousy's the ugliest trait" (works best when it is not applicable to the situation).

   8. Can't Stop Partying by Weezer, 170 plays. Good one, iTunes. I know all the words to the Lil' Wayne rap breakdown in this song. ALL THE WORDS. And yes, this song comes up as "Weezer ft. Lil' Wayne" in the artists column. I have broken too many tables by dancing on top of them to this song in high school. Its sad because I'm not joking.

   9. Can't Be Tamed by Miley Cyrus, 154 plays. What top played list is complete without a lil pre-haircut, post-disney Miley. Clearly a song I put on repeat a lot after trying to justify some of my life choices, to no avail.

   10. Up Up & Away by Kid Cudi, 151 plays. No regrets. This is another one that I think I was really into for about a week. It was a good subway ride song, what can I say.
