This is the first in a set of three end-of-year 2020 music stats posts. Going with songs first because they are the most ephemeral, followed by top artists, then top albums. I keep track of every track and podcast episode I listen to on all digital platforms, including Itunes, Spotify, and YouTube. by way of Last.fm scrobbling. This is a list of the songs I listened to the most.

*A complete Spotify playlist of my top 50+ songs of the year can be found at the end of the post.*
