3 years ago, we first counted down the then Top 100 songs in my iTunes library. Since that time, I’ve successfully managed to migrate my music collection to a new PC with the stats intact. So, I figured it was time to take another look, expanding out the field to the top 200 songs, based on number of plays as of January 1, 2016.
Today, we finish off the first 100 songs of the countdown with the next grouping of songs tied for 96th place with 20 plays apiece since late 2007.
