I'm surprised by mine. The top spot is apparently See What I Wanna See.

Then it's 30/90 and somehow My Junk. I'm quite honestly blaming the latter on bad luck and how often I listen through Shuffle.

(Amused that LuPone's Being Alive and Esparza's Being Alive are tied in play counts.)

Apparently I've played "Science Fiction, Double Feature" from the Rocky Horror revival recording 85 times! Now that I think about it, that IS a fun song to blast when nobody's around.

Others in my top 25 include:
--06. Company (2006; 58 plays)
--22. Rebecca (live recording; 31 plays)

Currently on iTunes, it's Speak Low from Lovemusik, played 16 times. I reloaded the playlist on iTunes last month, though, so according to last.fm, it's actually My Grandmother's Love Letters - Christine Ebersole with 104 plays.

1. "I Will Never Leave You" from the Side Show cast album (53 plays)
2. "Off to the East" from the Unlock'd demo recording (45 plays)
3. "Here I Am" from the Dirty Rotten Scoundrels cast album (41 plays)
4. "As We Stumble Along" from The Drowsy Chaperone (39 plays)
5. "The Song of Purple Summer" from Spring Awakening (37 plays)

I find this list quite curious. I didn't like Spring Awakening, yet it must've subconsciously worked its way into my mind. Oh well.
