Some stats:
- 50 songs from 25 different artists. I'm no math major, but I think that's about two a piece on average.
- With four songs on the list, Man Man appears more than any other artist.
- The highest spot for an artist with only one song on the list is "Freak Out" by Tapes 'n Tapes.
- Not far behind is "Eyes Be Closed" by Washed Out. I only just got my hands on his/their record a few days ago, so it wasn't in consideration for the album lists. But "Eyes Be Closed" is not only good enough to sneak into this list, but to leapfrog 41 others.
- The Felice Brothers and Kurt Vile both have 3 songs in the top 25. Curious as to which one could boast the higher average spot, I did the math and discovered that both come to an average of 11.33. Whoa!
