…and number one this year is that unheard classic 

• Ron Davies - I don’t believe it

An alternative Top 20

According to Last.fm these are the tracks I played the most over the last year. I’ve just kept one track per artist, to maintain the variety, and the list is determined to a large degree by the tracks I’ve left on my mobile phone the longest, given that I’m as often as not setting that to random while I’m travelling.

Nonetheless, it’s a good list and I love every one of these.

Here they are, in order by number of plays (download the full set below)
