\"itunes_image\"<\/a>We last counted down the Top 200 albums in my iTunes library four years ago. Since that time, the world has literally changed, and my commute has decreased from 1+ hours each way to 25 steps. So, despite the decrease in potential listening time, I figured it was time to take another look, based on number of plays from late 2007 through the morning of January 1, 2022.<\/p>\n

It is our penultimate look at the albums I have listened to the most over the last 15 years. including three compilations, two comedy albums, two greatest hits collections, and a bootleg live performance.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>#20: AC\/DC – The Razors Edge<\/em>
\niTunes stats: 283 plays
\nPrevious Ranking: 12<\/a><\/p>\n

An eight-spot drop in the rankings, most likely thanks to a pandemic-shortened 2020 baseball season without crowds and the subsequent lack of playing my White Sox playlists.<\/p>\n

\niTunes stats: 289 plays
\nPrevious Ranking: 16<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>#17: Patton Oswalt\u2013 Feelin’ Kinda Patton<\/em>
\niTunes stats: 292 plays
\nPrevious Ranking: 20<\/a><\/p>\n

The first comedy album from Patton Oswalt sees an impressive 73% increase, which would be significantly higher if I were to ever sync my old iPhone 4s again.<\/p>\n

\niTunes stats: 312 plays

23 theme songs, from shows like\u00a0Perry Mason<\/em>,\u00a0Leave It To Beaver<\/em>, and\u00a0The Munsters<\/em>, more than doubled the total number of plays for this compilation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
