It had been five years since we last counted down the Top 200 songs in my iTunes library.\u00a0 Last week, we finished our journey through the latest list of my most listened to songs since late 2007.\u00a0 Now it\u2019s time to take a final look at those 210 songs and the artists that made them.\u00a0 The average number of listens was just over 52, with the median number being 41.\u00a0 There were 35 new entries, and, overall, there was an average increase of just a tad over nine listens per song.<\/p>\n
