\"\"<\/a>6 years ago, we first counted down the then Top 100 artists in my iTunes library.\u00a0 Since that time, I\u2019ve successfully managed to migrate my music collection to a new PC with the stats intact and expanded the count down to the Top 200..\u00a0 It’s been 3 years, so I figured it was time to take yet another look at my Top 200 artists, based on the number of plays from late 2007 through January 1, 2021.<\/p>\n

Twin sisters who bonded in high school over a love of music following the discovery of their step-dad’s guitar, we continue today with at #7 with Sara Quin and Tegan Quin, known professionally as the band Tegan & Sara.<\/p>\n

#7:\u00a0Tegan and Sara
\niTunes stats: 657 plays
\nPrevious ranking: #7<\/a><\/p>\n

Tegan and Sara entered my consciousness in the early 2000s, when I Hear Noises<\/em> started to get some airplay on WXRT.\u00a0 Since then, I’ve seen them in concert<\/a>, read their book<\/a>. and listened to their music, with 84 songs from 10 different albums in my collection.\u00a0 They’ve stayed even on the charts, thanks to a mere 50% increase in listens over the past four years.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I saw them in concert in October of 2005, at the end of what was a very busy week.\u00a0 Prior to the show, I settled in at Rock Bottom in River North to watch the end of Game 3 of the ALDS as the White Sox finished off their sweep of the Red Sox.\u00a0 After the game, a group of us hopped on the Red Line and headed north to Wrigleyville to check out Tegan and Sara at the Metro.\u00a0 To be honest, I don\u2019t remember much about the show at all. \u00a0The album they were touring in support of, So Jealous<\/em>, is one of my favorites and I\u2019m sure I enjoyed the performance. \u00a0But, my favorite baseball team was headed for the ALCS, I\u2019d just been to two playoff games, and the Weezer and Foo Fighters show was earlier that week. \u00a0It\u2019s all sort of jumbled together at this point.<\/p>\n
