2010 music by numbers

Probably of interest to absolutely no-one but me, but according to last.fm these are the top 50 bands/artists and tracks I listened to last year. I can't remember exactly, but I think my total plays stood at around 60,000 at the beginning of last year. As 2011 started it was sitting at 92,378, which would mean about 30,000 tracks for the year or roughly 500 a week.
You can see the up-to-date charts here, if you are so inclined, and feel free to paste your own lists into the comments or even better befriend me on last.fm so I can have a look myself!
