Marquee Mark’s Top 25 Most Played playlist

I, Mark Butler, do solemnly swear that these are my most listened-to songs on iTunes, although certain members of my household may have overdone it a little bit on the Eames Era thing. Looking back at my 2003 version of this list, there’s clearly been a lot of turnover – and not just from old songs reclaiming territory from the novelty of something brand new in the early days of iTunes. And what other Top 25 list is going to feature Annette Funicello?

  1. If I were to have cheated and skipped the Eames Era song, Barbara Manning’s Sympathy Wreath would have gotten the #25 slot.
