Music Top 10 from 2011

Since 2006, I've been scrobbling all the music I listen to on last.fm. So this year, for the first time, I've gone back at the list of music I've scrobbed and pulled out the Top 10s -- songs, and artists. This isn't an explicit "my favorite music from 2011", but more of an implicit one as ranked by how I've listened across iTunes, iPhone/iPod, Hype Machine, and Spotify.

So, without further ado, the Top 10:

Top Artists

2. Kanye West - 201 listens
3. Pretty Lights - 173 listens

6. The Temper Trap - 146 listens
7. Blip Blip Beep - 143 listens

Interesting observations:

• Three acts whose music I bought after seeing a live show without ever known the band prior: Film School, Blip Blip Beep, and The Glitch Mob
• Dubstep shows up a lot in the individual tracks, but not in my top artists
• Lupe shows up, which I was surprised about since he hasn't had a new album (a noteworthy album at least) in quite some time
