2007 Review: My Music
It’s been an interesting year, musically.. A number of new acts for me and some traditional favorites with new albums and also some disappointments. But let’s take a look at my listening behavior. (Table layout isn’t great, but I’m just not in the mood for layout styling, sorry.. 
)
Tracks Most Played In 2007:
| Theme From Belle Et Fou (The Opening) | Jazzanova | Belle Et Fou |
| This Is The Place (Overture) | Jazzanova | Belle Et Fou |
| Rendezvous | Jazzanova Feat. Capitol A | Belle Et Fou |
| Sink Or Swim (No Choice For Me) (feat. Lady Alma) | 4hero | Play With The Changes |
| Give In (feat. Darien Brockington & Phonte of Little Brother) | 4hero | Play With The Changes |
| Maybe Now | Clara Hill | Belle Et Fou |
| Behold These Days (Berlin ‘74) | Jazzanova | Belle Et Fou |
| Take My Time (feat. Jack Davey) | 4hero | Play With The Changes |
| Get Down | Groove Armada | Soundboy Rock |
| The Awakening (feat. Ursula Rucker) | 4hero | Play With The Changes |
I can honestly say that I was really surprised by the Belle Et Fou entries; it didn’t register in my brain that I played that album that much, especially since I didn’t give it high marks in my review. Funny. Groove Armada’s track Get Down puts a smile on my face.
Artists Most Played (Last.fm)
- Me’Shell Ndegéocello
- The Chess Cadet Allstars
- Jazzanova
- Groove Armada
- Beck
- Benny Sings
- 4hero
- Amy Winehouse
- A Tribe Called Quest
- OutKast
Well, this top 10 doesn’t have any real surprises. I do expect to see Outkast to disappear from the list next year. I wonder if drink-drug-binge-anorexia WineHose will still be on this list, possibly as a posthumous entry.
