While scrolling through my digital music collection, I thought it would be interesting to see which songs (out of a little over 1500 in my library) have been played the most. Right-clicking on the table headers in Rhapsody (I think you can do the same thing in iTunes), I was able to turn on the "Play Count" column and then sort my library by times played. The results:
| Title | Artist | Rating/5 | Count |
| Top of the World | The Carpenters | 5 | 17 |
| Superstar | The Carpenters | 5 | 13 |
| We've Only Just Begun | The Carpenters | 5 | 12 |
| Rainy Days and Mondays | The Carpenters | 5 | 11 |
| Magic Carpet Ride | Steppenwolf | 5 | 10 |
| Burning Love | Elvis Presley | 5 | 10 |
| (They Long to Be) Close to You | The Carpenters | 5 | 9 |
| The Rainbow Connection | The Carpenters | None | 9 |
| This Fire | Franz Ferdinand | 3 | 9 |
| Words | Bee Gees | 5 | 9 |
Note: Play Counts reflect the number of times played using the Rhapsody Software on this computer presumably when it was built in March. It is possible they reset on software upgrades.
Surprising to even me, The Carpenters appear to be dominating my playtime. And This Fire -- I don't even like that song that much. 3/5 stars might have been a little generous...
Funny that with so many high-ranking and often played songs The Carpenters don't crack my top artists according to Rhapsody's charts:

| 1. Shania Twain | 6. Dean Martin |
| 2. Elvis Presley | 7. The All-American Rejects |
| 3. Bee Gees | 8. John Legend |
| 4. Maroon 5 | 9. Bon Jovi |
| 5. Coldplay | 10. Bing Crosby |
Oh yes -- Bob Jovi. It's My Life? 'Nuff said.
Taking it one step further, what are my worst ranked songs?
| Title | Artist | Rating/5 | Count |
| Big Shit Poppin' [Do It] | T.I. | 2 | 1 |
| A Bay Bay | Hurricane Chris | 2 | 1 |
| Party Like a Rock Star | Shop Boyz | 2 | 3 |
| Oh! Gravity. | Switchfoot | 2 | 1 |
| Sexyback | Justin Timberlake | 2 | 2 |
There's actually a bunch of 2/5 star rated songs, but these were at the bottom for whatever reason according to the Rhapsody sorting system. A common trend of these songs seem to be that they repeat a phrase throughout; gets damn annoying. Oh, and there are no 1 star songs because once those are flagged I banish them from my Rhapsody library entirely.
Only about half of my songs have been starred, so there's still plenty of work to do. We'll see if there's something fancy hiding in the rough...
And just because,
NOW PLAYING:
Satellite
Guster
Ganging Up on the Sun
