Touch Me from Spring Awakening, though I'm not sure why.
"You have two kinds of shows on Broadway – revivals and the same kind of musicals over and over again, all spectacles. You get your tickets for The Lion King a year in advance, and essentially a family... pass on to their children the idea that that's what the theater is – a spectacular musical you see once a year, a stage version of a movie. It has nothing to do with theater at all. It has to do with seeing what is familiar.... I don't think the theatre will die per se, but it's never going to be what it was.... It's a tourist attraction." Stephen Sondheim
If this counts: "And I Will Follow" by Lauren Kennedy from songs of jason robert brown or "My Junk" from SPRING AWAKENING which I'm damn well proud of.

The top 23 songs played on my computer (not itunes because I trust apple even less than I trust microsoft) are not musical theatre. The most played musical theatre song is currently Brotherhood of Man from the H2$ revival.

"Why do you care what people might say? Why try to fit into their design?" (Side Show)
"He found something that he wanted, had always wanted and always would want— not to be admired, as he had feared; not to be loved, as he had made himself believe; but to be necessary to people, to be indispensable."
-F. Scott Fitzgerald's This Side of Paradise
I just got a new computer so my play count is getting a fresh start. But I remember that Patti's Being Alive held the top spot for quite a while on my old computer. Other than that my top played albums were Follies (1998 Papermill) and Grey Gardens. Updated On: 6/24/08 at 10:35 PM
Damn. After accidentally leaving my iPod on repeat all night "Costco" from Next to Normal has taken the top spot from My Junk, which was the reigning champion for a solid year.
