Is anyone on here a 'top listener' on last.fm?

which artist? how many plays? why?



  • lolz

  • i'm, er, a top listener for myself.

    which is nice.

    most bands have a weekly top listener thing now though, don't they?

    • you make music?

      please tell me you make music.

      • I'm a top listen of Sonic Soundsytem

        They only 7 plays mind, 4 of them being me

      • i think calling anything i make 'music'

        would be sacrilegious

        • that isn't a no

          link plz

          • some people make music

            and then dont internet-ise it.

            i dont understand these people

  • I doubt it, I chose a new username

    A couple of months ago, but managed to include all my iTunes plays since the previous Xmas.

    *click*

    Ah, I take it back. I'm a top listener of:

    * NeatPeople.
    Why: cos they're awesome.

    * The Hungry Hungry Hypocrites
    Why: Haven't a fucking clue who they are. Probably sent me/work a demo CD that I played a couple of times.

    • neatpeople hail from near me

      I saw them in several shithole local venues. They are awesome.

  • Just 2 for this week..

    Little Boots
    The Death Set (although it's wrongly tagged and i was listening to TheDeathSet, bugger)

    and why not? I just happened to be listening to those two a lot last week :P

  • jacob golden, after having his album for a week...

    169 plays - not many in the grand scheme of things but he's not that popular...(but he should be, which I guess takes care of the "why"...)

  • i used to be a Top Listener

    for Jam on Bread, but no longer.

    I am THE top listener for Stupid Computer! Awesome!

  • 4 or 5 Magicians

    with, err, 15 plays.

  • well it changes every week..

    so i don't really keep track...?

  • I was a top listener for "Some Unholy War" for a week

    60+

    Top listener for Regina Spektor one week, 359 plays

    etc

  • I listened to Why? 300 times last week

    and still wasn't a top listener. guess there are bigger freaks out there..

  • yep

    http://www.last.fm/music/Lupen+Crook

    I'd be worried if I wasn't one of the top listeners.

    EXACTLY 1000 plays registered right now, and then another 643 for LC&The Murderbirds as they're called for the second album.

  • I'm a top listener for The Lisps

    who are some New Yorky boy/girl duo who are actually quite good
    Bearing in mind I've only listened to them around 20 times it's not particularly impressive though..
    I used to be a top listener for Adeventure Playground, but thats just embarassing

  • i'm actually

    a top listener for Jetplane Landing at the moment, because I just got hold of three of their albums and played them to death last week (62 plays).. much the same for Life Without Buildings too (though i'm further down on their top listeners now..)

  • If it wasn't weekly

    I most probably be in the Held by Hands list

  • oh so you get told if you're a top listener?

    Whenever on my favourite artists' pages I always look to the right in hope.

  • I was once on the byrds :(

  • Stealthy and Shucks

    both used to be (and probably still are) for Down I Go. I notice this every time I listen to them.

    • :D

      indeed!

    • ^ that^

    • ...

      I know that I am the absolute top listener for those guys. Shucks merely eats my asphalt.

  • oh and is there a way of finding this out

    does it tell you if you are?

  • yes.

    i think so. for the velvet teen and for on the might of princes. although that might have been the recent bit, not overall. i dunno.

    • oh, it seems there isn't an overall bit.

      either way, i definitely have been for those bands. not right now though.

  • Boss Volenti - 133 plays
    http://icanhaz.com/BossVolenti

    Safetyword apparently - 100 plays
    http://www.last.fm/music/Safetyword

    SZ - 99 plays
    http://www.last.fm/music/SZ

    and, um..
    http://www.last.fm/music/diodave

    I think if there's many listeners it works weekly, because I account for about 9% of Panama Kings' scrobbles and I'm not top :( :(

  • I'm a top listener for

    Creepy Morons although my last.fm thingy hasn't worked for ages. It doesn't track anything I play.

  • I used to be top listener for Hitechjet

    Then a friend overtook me, I went back in the lead after a while. Anyway, haven't listened for ages, now another friend is top listener.

    Erm I think I still might be down as top listener for a few friends bands, as I'm/I was the only person with mp3s.

  • Popular Workshop

    300+ plays.
    Cos it's good indie.

  • Low

    I'm the top listener for Low, but unfortunately that's down to a scrobbling glitch which somehow made last.fm decide that I am able to listen to five songs simultaneously. None of this diminishes my love for the band (although it would be nice to be a top listener for Retribution Gospel Choir, which I'm not).

    At least I was able to recognise that they were playing "California" in Fat Face this morning as I was selecting age-inappropriate clothing for myself.

    I'm also the top listener for A&E, but that's partially because I went to school with Andrew Sharpley.

  • used to be near the top for Veils

    and David Thomas Broughton on my old account.

    Think on my new account I might be one for Held By Hands...

  • Frankmusik

    pretty much on a weekly basis. Normally with 50+ plays

  • _

  • Just

    The James Cleaver Quintet

    because they're amazing. 206 plays.

  • ...

    I'm THEE top listener for Down I Go, and on the list I think for Lapsus Linguae and Dureforsog - though I don't know how much.

  • Why would anyone want to do this?

    Is it a pissing contest or is it to simply prove how they get into new music before everyone else cos they're cool?

    • ...

      Last.fm just tabulates and presents the music you listen to. There is no 'point'.

      But for the record: Every band I listen to is better than every band you listen to. You have the musical discernment of my gran.

    • It's nice to see

      what you actually listen to in a week. For instance, I once didn't realise I listened to Sweet Love for Planet Earth by Fuck Buttons at least 20 times on repeat whilst doing some late night photography assignment. Plus you can check out what your friends are listening to for those 'holier than thou' music moments.

  • I used to be the top/only listener for Datblygu

    then some mentalist sent me a message going "I'm going to listen to more Datblygu than you", and they did.
