2008
Part 3 of my annual nostalgia fest has commenced! Okay, so I’m a week late. Sue me!
Last.fm was down for me half the time anyway… But it’s all good now!
Important thing is that it has cost me a buttload of time again to make it. But hey, it’s totally worth it.
So here’s a nice overview of the past year and my musical influence on it.
Are there some surprises? Maybe! Can you feel the tension?! Probably not.
Anyway, here we go.

The changes over the last year are:
5 new artists
5 stayers
11 climbers
29 fallers
So that means 5 artist fell off the charts, those are:
Jane’s Addiction
Beck
Franz Ferdinand
SpineShank
Joe Satriani
Hmmm, didn’t expect Beck to fall off the charts. Like that dude a lot. Maybe next year.
Little side-note. I’ve only listened to Dead Kennedys for like 2 or 3 weeks. And already at place 43 with 542 listens! But damn, those guys are just that good. (Or should I say WERE?)
Last year was the first time I also included my top songs. So after a year’s wait I can finally do something with it! Here’s the chart:

Not much changed in the top to be honest. Not even listened to it a lot of it except for a select few.
But I do know I listened to a LOT of music. Guess my top songs have just changed a bit and you can’t really see it yet this year. But if I keep listening to that other stuff, you’ll definitely see some big changes next year.
So, that’s what we’re aiming for!
Join us next year for the next installment!
PS: “new” artist or song doesn’t necessarily mean that I haven’t listened to it before last year. But gimme a break here. :P
