\"itunes_image\"<\/a>Nearly 4 years ago, we first counted down the Top 200 albums in my iTunes library. Since that time, I\u2019ve 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, based on number of plays from late 2007 through January 1, 2018.<\/p>\n

We finish things off today with the final batch of 10 albums, ranked between #1 and 10, including 4 comedy albums, 4 compilations, 1 greatest hits package, and 1 bootleg live performance.<\/p>\n

#10: Patton Oswalt – Werewolves and Lollipops<\/em>
\niTunes stats: 213 plays
\nPrevious Ranking: 13<\/a><\/p>\n

This total for Patton Oswalt\u2019s standup set would be significantly higher if I were to ever sync my old iPhone 4s again.<\/p>\n

#9: The Lonely Island – Incredibad<\/em>
\niTunes stats: 218 plays
\nPrevious Ranking: 3<\/a><\/p>\n

7 tracks from the groups debut album, most of which originated as digital shorts on SNL, did not rack up the listens and suffers a large drop.<\/p>\n

A whopping 22 songs, from bands like The Proclaimers, EMF, and Roxette, make up the total for this compilation of early 90s hits.<\/p>\n

#7: Garfunkel and Oates – Slippery When Moist<\/em>
\niTunes stats: 236 plays
\nPrevious Ranking: 10<\/a><\/p>\n

The entire album, which I got thanks to High 5 iTunes gift cards, added well over 100 listens since last time around.<\/p>\n

#6: George Carlin – Complaints and Grievances<\/em>
\niTunes stats: 239 plays
\nPrevious Ranking: N\/A<\/p>\n

The highest ranking debut is this 2001 comedy album, taped shortly after 9\/11.<\/p>\n

#5: Foo Fighters – Live In Hyde Park 2006<\/em>
\niTunes stats: 261 plays
\nPrevious Ranking: 4<\/a><\/p>\n

This bootleg makes the list thanks to 80 new listens of 8 live versions of the band\u2019s greatest hits.<\/p>\n

#4: Aerosmith – O, Yeah! Ultimate Aerosmith Hits<\/em>
\niTunes stats: 262 plays
\nPrevious Ranking: 7<\/a><\/p>\n

22 hits from both of Aerosmith\u2019s periods of relevance contribute to this total from their 2-disc greatest hits package.<\/p>\n

#3: Various Artists – Billboard’s Top Rock ‘n’ Roll Hits: 1969
