Conclusion: People don’t want to admit they like Lady Gaga and Britney Spears.

Last.fm also released their Top 40 of 2009 and, more interestingly, released some raw data for people to play around with.  Analytics are fun and I’d love to see more companies make this kind of aggregate data available.

For example, it let me find this fun fact — Of the top 1000 artists on Last.fm, Lady Gaga received a whopping 3% of the 646 million playbacks.  I’m guessing that doesn’t even count the ones that people later decided to delete.
