50 most listened to artists of 2006

According to my LastFM profile:

The Cinematic Orchestra, although heavily listened to, is exaggerated as I made up a playlist of some of their songs which I listened to when I had trouble sleeping. Dawn in particular always helps me relax.

Hans Zimmer & James Newton Howard are in for the amazing Batman Begins soundtrack. Tenacious D are in there purely on the strength of their old stuff.

Ironically, the most listened to song by Midwest Product turns out to be the one called Pigeons.

Don't worry Des... considering that amount of N.W.A I've been listening to recently, that should change for next year.
