I finally finished up number #92 on my my 101 in 1001 list – that is, to make a list of my 101 favourite songs of all time.
It was way harder than it was supposed to be.
There are currently 6785 songs in my itunes. Yup. By the time you read this, there will probably be more. My music could play for 13.6 days straight, without repeating a song. Now to be fair, I don’t typically listen to music from the Royal Academy of Dance on my personal time, but it still ends up being a lot to choose from!
I only ranked my top 10. Everything else is alphabetical. It’s a bit all over the place, but I guess that reflects how much I listen to and what I do for a living. (Hello favourite contemporary songs that you never hear on the radio!)
