Music of the Year - 2012

After losing the number one spot in my charts last year, with the release of Infinity Overhead Minus the Bear reclaimed the number one position from Portugal. The Man. It seems that on average I listened to music less in 2012 than I did in 2011, seeing one fewer artist overall with a thousand plus plays. Another noteworthy observation is my neglect of albums that were released in 2012. Where only two of the top ten albums from 2011 had less than two hundred plays, a whopping six did this year.
