Etikettarkiv: Most Played Songs

TGIF-, Goal-, Covid- & Music Friday

Where to begin this Friday? I think I start with yesterdays celebration, sadly forgotten by the community. No parades, No Macron speech and not a word from the PM in Sweden… But I reached the goal, 365 days of workout. 365 days in a row! Goal, done! Prize? To allow myself, if needed, to have maximum 2 days of rest each week. Mainly Sundays to be honest.

365 days of work out, 365 days in a row.

With the celebrations done let me tell you of this strange morning. Friday mornings usually means a early rush hour, cause people want to go home early if they can. But today, not a car on the streets of Paris. It was so strange I actually started to think I missed out on a public holiday or something.

But I guess the reason is that “working one day from home” mainly is done on Fridays now. Which leads us to todays covid update.

So, we reach the end of this post, and I do that with some music. Still update my iTunes library after Apples decision to “delete” my tracking in iTunes. I have now tried to get as close as possible to how it was before my play count all was set to “0”. Still, after 8 months, still far from done. which gives strange “most played” charts. Not much “new” music there. I present you with the “last 7 days most played songs” & the “last 30 days most played songs”.

Passed 7 days most plays, my iTunes
Passed 30 days most played, August 2021, My iTunes

With that I give you TGIF, and let you all out to “behave”, and do it “bad”.

Most played 2010 – 2019

So now it’s time to see what kind of music made my decade, 2010 – 2019…

Just let me say that I never would have guessed that my 80s idol Amanda Lear should end up with the most played song between 2010 and 2019. But there she is with “C´est la vie” – most likely cause it is one of the best pre-party songs ever recorded so she never left the playlists.

  1. C´est la vie – Amanda Lear
  2. Something in your eyes – Jenny Silver
  3. Agathe – Roberto Bellarosa
  4. Signed on my tattoo – Army of lovers feat Gravitonas
  5. Can’t take my eyes off you – Jimmy Somerville
  6. All about the bass – Maghan Trainor
  7. Aldrig, Aldrig – Andreas Lundstedt
  8. Story of a heart (7th heaven radio) – Steps
  9. The fire – Elin Bergman
  10. En una vida – Coral Segovia

The list of most played Swedish and French music 2010 – 2019 looks like this

And a quick look at the albums over 10 years then…

  1. Agustin Galiana – Agustin Galiana
  2. Veritas – Agnes

So, the most played songs 2019:

  1. So am i – Ava Max
  2. Better than me – Ten Tonnes
  3. L´escalier – The Pirouettes
  4. Vakuum – Orup
  5. Look back at it – A Boogie wit da Hoodie
  6. Goodbye – Jason Derulo & David Guetta…
  7. Ta main – Claudio Capéo
  8. How do you sleep – Sam Smith
  9. Uninivited – Freemasons feat Bailey Tzuke
  10. Happy Thoughts – Felix Sandman & Benjamin Ingrosso

And break this down in most played Swedish songs… (don’t ask why Azucar Moreno is in there, wrongly tagget)

And at the same time, we need to check to most played French songs in 2019…

And the fun thing with making lists of music right now is that it’s time for a 2010 – 2019 lists – but we do them tomorrow.
