iPod’s have all kinds of lists, and one of them is the “Top 25 Most Played”. This could mean a few things. These are the ones that I like the best and tend to play over and over. Or, some of them are dialogue samples that are really short (which have been omitted and made the Top 25 more like the Top 19). Or, these entries have offered payola to the iPod shuffler to get more airtime.
If payola can get Alan Freed, then it can get anybody.
Either way, here is the “Top 25 Most Played” on my iPod.

That’s some variety in there, Rick!
That’s why my iPod has issues. It’s all over the place.
