    “Around the World” by Daft Punk. The strangest thing is though, I don’t use traditional playlists, but layered random smart play lists. I generate a list of 300 songs, by combining my 2, 3, 4 and 5 star playlists to give me a random selection of songs, but with my preferred ratio of 2:3:4:5 star rated music.

    So the over representation of this song is just how statistics work and means nothing. If it wasn’t that song, it would be some other song that has been played more than the others.
