(Finished June 12th, 2018) themusicaddict's Top 113 Most Played Songs on iTunes, Part 1: Songs Tied For 97th Place

Hello,

I know what you're wondering, why 113 songs? That's because I wanted to countdown 100 songs, however there are 17 songs tied for 97th place. I'm not good at mathing, but even I know that's more than 100 songs. 99% of the time I listen to my iPod on random, which is where most of these listens come from. That explains the random nature of this countdown.

These songs were released from 1965, which is even older than me, to 2014. I do have songs from 2018 on my iPod, but these are the most played songs on my iTunes. Genres included are rap, rock, pop, country, country rock, country pop and alternative (whatever the hell that means anymore).

The musicians go from fairly obscure to some of the biggest musicians ever. Miss Swift has the most songs at 6, Led Zeppelin has 4 songs and Daughtry and U2 have 3 songs. However Madonna and Michael Jackson only have one song and there's no Prince songs at all on this countdown. Anyway all of these songs have 39 listens.

This is updated as of June 12th, 2018.

97) Beth Hart "Bang Bang Boom Boom":

97) The Black Keys "Good On The Ceiling":

97) Brooks & Dunn "My Next Broken Heart":

97) Del Amitri "Roll To Me":

97) Duran Duran "A View To A Kill":

97) INXS "Need You Tonight":

97) Janet Jackson "Nasty":



97) The Knack "My Sharona":



97) Led Zeppelin "Immigrant Song":



97) Madonna "Like A Prayer":



 97) Men Without Hats "Pop Goes The World":



97) Murray Head "One Night In Bangkok":



97) Rammstein "Du Hast":



97) Rihanna "Good Girl Gone Bad":



97) Sugarcult "Los Angeles":



97) The Who "Won't Get Fooled Again":



The Black Crowes "Hard To Handle":

(Finished May 28th, 2018) Songs Rockin' My iPod

Hello,

I need a break from some of the best songs played on "Royals", Greatest 80's Era Countdown Blogs and anything else I've been writing lately.

I go through my iTunes and play songs that haven't been played in the longest time. These next 3 songs I love and wanted to hear them more frequently so I added them to my iPod. 1) Abba "Money Money Money":

2) Rush "The Big Money":

3) Doobie Brothers "Rockin' Down The Highway":

Whenever I go see a band in concert, I like to load up my iPod with a lot of their songs. Once the concert is done, I start taking those songs off of my iPod ad I tire of them. This is one of my favorite TMBG songs and I haven't tired of it yet. 

4) They Might Be Giants "Don't Let's Start":

Similar to above, Meat Loaf is one of my Top 15 80's era musicians, very soon he'll be profiled on my blog. So when they took most of his amazing songs to Broadway, of course I had to check it out. I put a lot of the songs on my iPod so I can get familiar with them quicker. 

5) Original Cast Recording "Bat Out of Hell":

The relatively unknown Kobra and the Lotus are one of my new favorite bands. In 2015 they released an EP, "Words of the Prophets" with some very interesting covers. This is one of those. 6) Kobra and the Lotus "Sign of the Gypsy Queen":

7) Jimmy Eat World "Work":

8) Tesla "Modern Day Cowboy":

9) Brian Fallon "Etta James":

Not one of my favorite songs by Boz, but I have this song on my iPod to get more familiar with some of his more obscure songs. Boz Scaggs 10) "Slow Dancer":

11) The Smiths "Girlfriend In A Coma":

12) Boz Scaggs "Georgia":

13) The Pet Shop Boys "The Pop Kids":

14) Adam Lambert "If I Had You":

I love this rocked out version of this song. 15) Men Without Hats "Pop Goes The World":

16) Chuck Berry "Maybellene":

(Finished May 20th, 2018) The Best Songs of "Royals", Season 2, Episodes 1 to 3

Hello,

I had a very nice unknown commenter compliment one of my blogs about the best songs of Season 1 of "Royals". This is the best songs of "Royals" Season 2. Although I've stopped watching "Royals" I still remember how great of the music from Season 1.

One of the things I love about these songs is that they're still flying under the radar. At most they have a few hundred thousands YouTube views and it's only thanks to "Royals" that I'm even hearing these songs now.

Wolf Alice "You're A Germ":

Von Bonneville "Cards With The Devil":

I Am Harlequin "Something Else":

Lemaitre (featuring Jennie A) "Closer":

This is my least favorite of the three songs I've published so far, but I like this dude's vibe. I can see why he was touring with Ed Sheeran. Saint Raymond "Carry Her Home":

Saint Raymond "Everything She Wants":

As far as I can tell this song wasn't on "Royals", but this is another great song from Saint Raymond.

"I Want You":

Is this where I discovered Kid Karate from, it would make sense as I've been a fan of them about the same time that "Royals" started. This is "Don't Stop":

Powers "Loved By You":

Holly Miranda "Come On":

The Hot Damns "Wicked Games":
