I call foul!  Via John Scalzi, I find out that Vodkapundit is claiming to be the first to list the most-played songs on your iTunes.  That would be fine, if I hadn't already thought it up over a year ago.  I do like John's idea to limit selections to one per album.  Here's my current top 10:
1.  Variations on a Rococo Theme - Tchaikovksy, arranged and performed by Sergei Nakariakov
2.  Various tracks from Lord of the Rings - The Return of the King soundtrack - Howard Shore
3.  Newport Jazz Festival Suite - Duke Ellington
4.  O magnum mysterium - Morton Lauridsen, performed by the Robert Shaw Festival Singers
5.  Sonatas and Interludes - John Cage (I don't have the performer listed)
6.  "Una furtiva lagrima" from The Elixer of Love - Donizetti, arranged and performed by the Three Countertenors
7.  Battle Royal - Count Basie Orchestra and Duke Ellington Orchestra
8.  Ayre - Golijov, performed by Dawn Upshaw
9.  Piano Sonata Op. 31 no. 2 "The Tempest"  - Beethoven, performed by Glenn Gould
10.  Simple Symphony - Britten, arranged by Colin Matthews and Simon Wright, performed by the Wallace Collection
