Audioscrobbler Finger Pointing
Posted: September 26th, 2005, by Marceline SmithA new series whereby we call out anomalies in the diskant group charts on Audioscrobbler/Last.fm and let you the reader guess the answer. The exciting part is that only the person who is the answer knows the answer (i.e. the asker doesn’t)
Today: Who else (other than me, obv) has been listening to Girls Aloud this week?
Also, as Simon P rightfully demanded the other week: who the hell’s been listening to Dire Straits??
Make your guesses in the comments. Hopefully the accused will come clean (otherwise this will die a quick death, I guess).
I am finding the whole Audioscrobbler thing fascinating. Do I really like Rachel Stevens more than Hood? Is it surprising that 7 out of my top 10 artists are female-led? Are the RIAA secretly monitoring the stats to see who’s listening to albums that haven’t been released yet, you dirty music stealing pirates? How relieved am I that I listen to my own band less than other people in the diskant group listen to theirs? And why do we willingly give so much information on our lives to the public?
