Seeing as I've just been on a downloading spree of random artists, I thought I'd make a little list of all of the stuff on my MP3 player right now. The actual thing is falling apart - I'm asking for an iPod this Christmas.

Bloc Party - Only two songs from them that I bought ages ago.
Blur - Downloaded these the other night.
Brain Damage - One free last.fm download. Oh yeah.
Chromeo - I bought their Fancy Footwork a while ago, and I still listen to a few of the tracks when I feel like it.
Danny Elfman - Through my obsession with Oingo Boingo, I've started listening to Danny's soundtracks. I've got stuff from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Pee-Wee's Big Adventure, Taking Woodstock, The Nightmare Before Christmas and a few other random tracks.
Devo - Of course. I don't have many of their songs, but I got a few new ones the other night. I just heard Wiggly World for the first time yesterday, and I just had to get it right away.
Dracula Biscuits - Last.fm free downloads, again. ^,____,^
Elastica - After reading about them on Mookychick, I felt like downloading some of their stuff. It's all awesome, but then I always think I've got Wire on my MP3 player.
Green Day - No, not their new stuff. Two songs I quite like - Longview and a live version of Minority.
Kate Bush - Only a few tracks, but really epic ones. I put on some tracks from Aerial that I remember listening to when my dad bought the album. Also, I had to put on Wuthering Heights.
Kraftwerk - Thanks to a particular user here putting the video of Pocket Calculator in a group discussion, I've found that I quite like them. I've only got that and another track, though. I need to try and listen to more of their stuff.
Lemon Demon - I don't listen to them as much now, but I still have a few songs.
Logan Whitehurst & the Junior Science Club - Last.fm free downloads...but very good ones.
Magazine - I only have The Great Beautician in the Sky, but it's awesome.
Messer Chups - Awesome free downloads.
Naughty Zombies - Free downloads.
Oingo Boingo - Ah hah hah hah hah! My favourites. You can probably tell that Boingo dominates my library. I've got over 100 OB tracks on my MP3 player right now. A lot of them are live tracks - the best ones, obviously.
Polysics - From a while back. I bought about three of their albums ages ago.
Siouxsie and the Banshees - Downloaded a few the other night. I think I need to listen to more.
Sparks - I saw Kimono My House in a music store a week ago for £5 and had to get it straight away. It was an awesome buy.
Talking Heads - Two songs I bought a while back.
The B-52's - Bought their self-titled album at the same time I bought the Sparks album. Also a fiver, also awesome.
The CamPanulas - Free downloads. Good free downloads.
The Cure - Another band I need to listen to more. I only have two of their songs.
The Hives - Two songs I bought a while back.
The Specials - I bought one of their albums a while back, but I've gone off ska slightly and I've only got a few songs.
The Sway - Thanks to Audiosurf for introducing me, thanks to last.fm for the downloads.
The Undertones - I put Teenage Kicks on my MP3 player because I think our band are going to be playing this for the school talent show. Also, it's a cool song.
The Waitresses - I only have a few songs because I can't download more. I'll be playing Christmas Wrapping a lot soon...
The White Stripes - Songs I got ages ago, but still listen to now and again.
Tom Tom Club - Remember Vodaphone's Free Music Friday? I got Wordy Rappinghood on impulse and it's still pretty good.
Vampire Weekend - I got their album for Christmas last year. It's neat.
Vernian Process - Free downloads galore!
Wall of Voodoo - A few good tracks.
Weezer - Got some songs a while ago, but I've been listening to them again after playing them too much before. I made myself a little sick of their music, but I'm okay now.
Weird Al Yankovic - Of course, I've got the Devo and Oingo Boingo style parody songs. ^,_____,O
XTC - I figured it was about time I got their songs on my MP3 player.


I've got about 340 tracks...I need more.

STEP ONE: List your top twenty most scrobbled artists and the total number of listeners for each.

18. Kerli 90,912 listeners
19. Joss Stone 540,604 listeners
20. Kate Nash 590,211 listeners

STEP TWO: Calculate the total listeners of these artists.
TOTAL: 10,469,857

STEP THREE: Find the average of this total by dividing by 20.
AVERAGE: 523,493 (rounded up)

STEP FOUR: Divide this figure by the total number of listeners for the top scrobbled artist on Last.fm.
Top artist: The Beatles 2,502,775 listeners
(as of right now they are the top SCROBBLED artist, not listeners which is what the step asks for, yes right now the Beatles are beating out Radiohead and Coldplay when it comes to total scrobbles!)
MAINSTREAM: 0.209164967

STEP FIVE: Finally, multiply this by 100 and round off to get your mainstream percentage.

MAINSTREAM PERCENTAGE: 20.9164967%

My listening habits are 20.92% mainstream.

Oh, you love Top 50 lists really. You know you do. Stop pretending to hate them.
