\"itunes_image\"<\/a>I recently came across an iTunes Music Library XML file from an old computer that covered some time frame between 2003 and 2007.\u00a0 I thought it would be interesting to take a look at the 785 songs I had listened to in that timeframe and, eventually, incorporate some of those numbers into my current library.<\/p>\n

Today, we will look at the top 16 artists, in terms of total listens, from this iTunes library. \u00a0My initial observations are that these totals are completely out of whack. \u00a0When I last looked at the artist totals for my current library, Bon Jovi came in at #21, with only 10 more plays than they have here, where they are the leaders.<\/p>\n
