What is your most played song on iTunes?

Or on any other music player you use? Mine is "The Story" by Brandi Carlile (78 times). Man, I love that song.

Mine is the score from the third of Phillip Glass's Qatsi trilogy, namely "Naqoyqatsi." On the rare occasions that I have time to watch the video, it is awe-inspiring. It's repetitive nature makes it good "thinking" music that I listen to while working or walking.
Asker's Rating:
• Being familiar with the Qatsi trilogy, I've got to say this is the most unique, most played song. Nice taste - can't deny Phillip Glass.

I LOVE Koyaanisqatsi. I have yet to see the others, but nice answer!

Thanks for the vote. If you liked Koyaanisqaatsi, you'll enjoy the others (Powaqqatsi and Naqoyqatsi) at least as much. I got the DVD's as a pair for $14 from Amazon, but I believe the price has gone up to $18.
My quest for Glass started with Satyagraha, but I still haven't been able to get hold of a copy.
Best wishes!

"Mean Mr. Mustard" - The Beatles - Abbey Road - 1969 - played 58 times. I've probably played it more than any other song because a) it's short, so when it comes up in shuffle I feel less inclined to skip it, and b) it's just a down-right great song.

On the computer I'm currently on, it's Bob Dylan's "Huck's Tune." It was originally released on the "Lucky You" soundtrack, but was released recently on the Bob Dylan Bootleg Series, Volume 8: Tell Tale Signs.

The video was just made by a fan, but the song is the original. Beautiful:

Well... if I sort my iTunes by "Most Played" I am surprised to see "Billy Talent - This Suffering" its a pretty good tune I must admit, I added it 5/7/06 and it's been played 133 Times.

This doesn't make it my favourite tune or anything, obviously my iTunes hits it often. I also used this song to hype myself up before hockey a couple years back, that gave it a headstart I think.

I've had to rebuild my iTunes library so many times that the play counts are never dependable. Currently there is no music in my library, but for a long time I remember the most-played song was "Closest (Look Out)" by Matt Pond PA.

Of all the songs it's Candyman by Christina Aquilera! How random is that given that the next few are Stereophonics, McFly, Hillsongs United and Duffy!

It's only been played 16 times since I moved my iTunes Library over from my old laptop to my Mac back in May.

Cassino's "The Gin War" tops my iTunes with 260 plays... They do not have a video but I found live footage! The lyrics are amazing.
