Well, the year is almost over so it's time to check ITunes to see what songs I listened to the most this year. Of course, this list doesn't factor in my IPod so it's not really a perfect indicator of the year that was but it's good enough (and easy). Obviously, albums/songs that came out earlier in the year have a major advantage over late releases but I get in such grooves of listening to one album over and over that those albums can usually catch up. I haven't had The XX album for long and a couple of their songs made the list.

Apparently my Jen & Abby kick was pretty overwhelming since they captured three of the top spots, including the #1 song "Lazy Angels". Anyway, here's the list:

1. Lazy Angels - Jen & Abby
2. Leap - The Cave Singers
3. Every Day is Exactly the Same - Nine Inch Nails
4. Ashes in the Snow - Mono
5. Summer Light - The Cave Singers
6. Lightweight - Jen and Abby
7. Help Me Out - Jen and Abby
8. Manipulated Living - Michael Andrews (from the Donnie Darko soundtrack)
9. Burial at Sea - Mono
10. The Mark Has Been Made - Nine Inch Nails
11. You'll Find a Way - Santigold
12. Intro - The XX
13. Ostinato - Eluvium
14. We Are Malleable, Even Though They Seem to Own Us - itnotyouitsme
15. Bang Bang (feat. Adam Levine) - K'Naan
16. Sour Milk/Salt Water - Port O'Brien
17. Jigsaw Falling into Place - Radiohead
18. Iamundernodisguise - School of Seven Bells
19. White Winter Hymnal - Fleet Foxes
20. Everything is Average Nowadays - Kaiser Chiefs
21. Spitting Venom - Modest Mouse
22. Race You - Elizabeth & the Catapult
23. Chrystalized - The XX
24. Creeps Me Out - Ima Robot
25. The Moon is Down - Explosions in the Sky

As for my IPod, I think it was probably dominated by Radiohead, Rachel Yamagata, and Tegan and Sarah. The video I watched the most was probably Pearl Jam's "The Fixer" although I was disappointed that the video version of the song was much better than the actual album version.
