Top Track This Week - Kings Of Leon "Camaro"

Once again, I'm having serious doubts about the accuracy of Last.FM's charts. For the second week in a row, it took an older track that was only played twice and stuck it near the top of my charts, saying it was played three times. The track in question this week is Daniel Lanois' wonderfully spooky "Orange Kay" from the Sling Blade soundtrack. It's a great instrumental, but it's more than ten freakin' years old, and I definitely don't have it in heavy rotation.

This is a mildly annoying pet peeve that probably only matters to me, but as I've said before, beggars can't be choosers, and since Last.FM's free service is better than anything I can manage right now, I'll have to live with it.

Once again, I decided to go through the list, weed out the obvious mistakes, and type up my weekly charts instead of simply posting the automatic charts provided by Last.FM. It's probably better for SEO this way, too, so I might keep doing it this way for a while.

So, on to the charts, which show the chart position, artist/title, and number of plays for the week in brackets.

And there were another 50+ tracks tied for second place with three spins each, so I see no point in typing out the entire list. If you're dying the see the complete weekly chart, just follow this link.
