I’m sure I’ve mentioned a few times that I absolutely love stats and my curiosity was sparked when I came across this post on tumblr. I’ve added some bits and removed others, however.

Unless stated otherwise all the following exclude podcasts and audiobooks and I’ve excluded all songs that aren’t properly tagged and as such would have technically appeared before others in the alphabetical lists. This also doesn’t include anything I listen to on my iPod as I’ve still not found a way to scrobble that for Last.fm.

Number of Songs: 12769
Number of Artists: 2,883 [Some mislabelled though, so probably only about 2500. This number also includes some podcasts/audiobooks]

Number of Plays: 34627 [since January 2008]
Number of Last.fm loved tracks: 166 [Only started 'loving' tracks a few months ago though and don't always bother]
