Not quite so sure what most played song we are supposed to be posting here each week, if it's all time plays then you're going to keep getting Ike's Rap a lot from me as it seems to be in quite a clear lead with Supervielle and next in line would be Chaka Khan. My last.fm charts give a more fluctuating choice over more recent periods, this weeks song is Dennis Wilson's Holy Man as sung by Taylor Hawkins... given the amount of play information in music libraries you could choose other ways to discover listening habits , selecting the song last played closest to a random time set every week by yourselves might add a wierd spin to music choice

It's not meant to be a form of analysis.. It's just some silly fun way to dole out some prizes and get a new playlist each week. ๐Ÿ™‚

Here's my top ten for this week...

Death In Vegas - Aisha
The Cat Empire - Two Shoes
Fun Lovin' Criminals - Scooby Snacks
Foo Fighters - All My Life
Skunk Anansie - Brazen (Weep)
Jenny Lewis - The Next Messiah
Cake - The Distance
Ocean Colour Scene - The Riverboat Song
Jimmy Eat World - The Middle
Labi Siffre - I Got The...

The playlist is up now and if you are responsible for any of this weeks top ten then email claire@singletrackworld.com along with your twitter ID so we can verify you entered correctly ๐Ÿ™‚

Got some extra prizes this week including some grips..

Unless you guys are angling for it to be whittled down to a best-of-the-best list, can I suggest that you stop adding songs from previous weeks.

The Labi Siffre, Ocean Colour Scene and Ice Cube songs have all appeared twice now and apparently you only win prizes on the first time your tune's picked.

Not that I'm complaining too much, I'll get more use out of my USB drive than I would from a new set of grips. There doesn't appear to be any actual RULES to this competition?!

You are right. It's as vague a competition rules wise as it can be - no apologies there.
What you get each week is a staffer's choice from the big list. If you've had a prize from a previous week we'd prefer to give a prize to someone else. One song - One prize.

It's simply an excuse to dole out some freebies. If it's offending anyone we can stop if you like ๐Ÿ™‚

Right, i am officially giving up, as all the staffers evidently have shite/MOR taste in music. Might as well go and buy a friggin' USB stick ๐Ÿ˜‰

cheers for clearing that up Mark, so as long as I have a song and I've played it more than a few times and euphoria was the outcome of the experience, you will welcome it. 'Yat Kha - Love will tear us apart' coming up very soon

Has Chipps released his top 10, or is this comp going to die a slow death?

And there are surprisingly few 15 minute guitar solos in there... Nor guys with long hair...
Well, I was surprised too.

I'm pleased to say that none of those were mine. Narrow taste? 2 from Robert Cray? C'mon Chipps open your mind, there's more to music than guitars ๐Ÿ™‚
