justin's itunes trends - episode II.

Sometimes, when you’re listening to music or podcasts whilst doing work, you’ll notice things in your musical selections that are noteworthy. Like how many artists have used the same word or phrase for a song title. Or how many songs a certain artist has that are the exact same length.

When you don’t have a girlfriend and spend all day with the computer in front of you… you start to realize things that make you think you’re either: A) living in the Matrix and grow convinced everything is programmed and predetermined, B) Russell Crowe from the last act of A Beautiful Mind.

Anyway, here’s the much anticipated follow-up in the series of the statistical representation of both my shitty musical persuasion, my lack of originality, and my copious amounts of free time. 

Here’s every song in my Library that has a running time of 3:51.

  • The Format - She Doesn’t Get It
  • The Sounds - Hurt You
  • Guster - C’mon
  • Gipsy Kings - No Volvere
