2020 Top Songs

For more than a decade, I have been reporting the songs that I’ve played the most over the year.  This is NOT a list of the most popular songs in the world, in America or even in my town.  These are the tracks that I played the most in 2020.

There are tracked by last.fm (a site I discovered back in 2005) that keeps track of the songs you play on iPod, computer, iPad, iTunes and streaming sites like Pandora and Spotify etc.  It is simple to connect the service to the other services and then you never have to deal with it again – other than to look at all the glorious data (yes, I’m a nerd.)
