60 Artist on High Rotation

I looked at my Last.fm listing of artists that is based on my iTunes play and here is a listing of my most popular artists as determined by Last.fm and iTunes. I set this up in early 2008 and it only counts plays on selected devices like my iPod and computers. It doesn't count CDs played anywhere and of course I still play lots of CDs but it is something of a snapshot of this recently tuned 60 guy.

So here is my Top Artist list from the last 4 years as determined by the number of times I played a song from these artists. David Bowie wins this contest by a landslide.
