100 milestone

It’s always a momentous occasion when a song reaches the century mark on iTunes. After scanning through my list of songs earlier, I couldn’t help but notice that Vampire Weekend’s Cape Code Kwassa Kwassa was at 99 plays and has been stuck there for a while. I couldn’t help myself; I had to press play and cement its place in history.

I know it’s a little embarrassing when someone gets a glance at your list of top played songs on iTunes, but 100 plays is a big deal. I’ve had this laptop for a year now so my play counts didn’t transfer over from my last computer where I think I had over 20 songs that reached that milestone. (They were even more embarrassing.) It’s a shame my car doesn’t have a dock for my iPod otherwise this list would be much different.

Anyway, this is a pretty good snapshot of what’s been going through my ears on repeat for the past year. It’s of course biased towards songs released last year, although some tunes from the soon to be released Hush has crept in the top 25 faster than expected.
