My iPhone's top 20: End of 2020 edition

I got an iPod Shuffle for Christmas 15 years ago; over the years, as my music library has grown and has migrated from iPod to iPhone, I've periodically taken stock of the twenty most listened-to songs in my collection (see here for the 2010 and 2015 lists). In continuing my tradition, here are the twenty most listened-to songs on my iPhone, as of December 31, 2020 (2015 ranking in parentheses):

1. Ride a White Horse - Goldfrapp (Supernature, 2006, Mute/Universal Music) (#1)
2. That Smiling Face - Camouflage (Voice and Images, 1988, Atlantic) (#3)
3. Home - Erasure (Chorus, 1991, Sire) (#2)
4. Burst Generator - The Chemical Brothers (We Are The Night, 2007, Australwerks/EMI) (#4)
5. Sometimes [Erasure/Flood Two Ring Circus Remix] - Erasure (The Two Ring Circus, 1987, Sire) (#10)

6. Hysteria - Def Leppard (Hysteria, 1987, Mercury) (#8)

7. Looking at You - Sunscreem (Looking at You: Club Anthems, 1998, Centaur Entertainment) (#5)

8. Life Is Sweet - The Chemical Brothers (Exit Planet Dust, 1995, Australwerks) (#7)

9. Let Forever Be - The Chemical Brothers (Surrender, 1999, Australwerks) (#6)

10. Dissolve - The Chemical Brothers (Further, 2010, Australwerks) 

11. Thank U - Alanis Morissette (Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie, 1998, Maverick/Reprise) (#15)

12. Destroy Everything You Touch - Ladytron (Witching Hour, 2005, So Sweet) (#14)

13. A Moment's Shifting - Anything Box (Hope, 1993, Orangewerks)

14. Lightning Blue Eyes - Secret Machines (Ten Silver Drops, 2006, Reprise) (#16)

15. A Modern Midnight Conversation - The Chemical Brothers (We Are The Night, 2007, Australwerks)

16. Rolling in the Deep - Adele (21, 2011, Columbia/XL) (#11)

17. Primary - The Cure (Faith, 1981, Elektra) (#13)

18. Crushed - Front 242 (05:22:09:12 Off, 1993, Epic)

19. Smiling Monarchs - Abecedarians (1985, Factory Records)

20. Dancing On My Own - Robyn (Body Talk, Pt. 1, 2010, Konichiwa)

Once again, my musical tastes continue to be dominated by electronica, with a pair of British duos - Tom and Ed and Vince and Andy - being among my clear favorites. My top four are the same as they were four years ago, and over half of the songs on the 2020 list were on the 2015 list.

Happy New Year!
