I’ve had my Last.fm account since January 2008, and in the last year and a half I have scrobbled nearly 15,000 songs to my account. While my favorite song fluctuates from time to time, generally my all-time favorite songs and artists remain the same. In order, these are my current top five Last.fm artists:

• Tegan and Sara
  Favorite songs: Superstar, Not With You, I Know I Know I Know
  I don’t remember how I first heard of Tegan and Sara. I think it may have been through a friend of a friend, but I can’t remember. I didn’t like their songs when I first heard them, but now I love all of their songs and think they are an amazing duo. Absolutely amazing.
• The Veronicas
  Favorite songs: Untouched, Revenge is Sweeter (Than You Ever Were), Mouth Shut
  I’ve loved The Veronicas since the first time I heard their single 4Ever on the radio while I was living in Australia. Their songs are the soundtrack to my teenage girlhood. Jess and Lisa seem like such fun girls and their music is so irresistible and catchy. And my God, I want their wardrobes!
• Lily Allen
  Favorite songs: LDN, Back to the Start, Him
  I think Lily is superb, and I’m always excited to see what her newest releases are. I love the sound of her voice and the edginess of her lyrics. She’s very clever, and that’s strongly apparent in her songs.
• Taylor Swift
  Favorite songs: Forever and Always, White Horse, Fearless
  I’m not a country music fan, but I do like Taylor (and I think she is becoming more pop than country, at any rate). When I saw her video for Love Story, I had to get her album. I think her voice sounds incredibly sweet and her lyrics are always relateable.
• Jem
  Favorite songs: 24, I Always Knew, How Would You Like It
  Krissy introduced me to Jem’s music, and I’m so glad she did. I love Jem’s voice, and how the mixture of melody and lyrics and vocals work so well together to create a really haunting and memorable sound.
