Five years of iPodding

Hey.

I bought into iPod culture five years ago, on May 18, 2005. I can’t possibly expect anyone to care about this - even a little - so I’m not even going to attempt to fluff up this entry with sparkling wordplay: these are nerdy, completely self-indulgent lists I’m presenting below, lists I can’t see serving any purpose unless someone wanted to fashion shopping lists from them.

To wit: the 10 most played songs and the 10 most played artists, according to my trusty spreadsheeting skillz and love of simple statistics.
