3rd Fizziversary: Top Hits 2007-2009

Continuing my look back at 3 years worth of sets at Fizz, here is the list you've all been waiting for: most-played single tracks over the past three years. These tracks aren't necessarily the best music I've ever played, but they are all reliable, fun dance tunes. I think the list gives a certain sense of what music has really worked for me at Fizz. Some of these songs have been consistent favorites, while others were tunes that I played the hell out of for a year, then laid off. Here's the top ten (well, #1 is definitely #1, #2 and #3 are tied, and #4 through #10 are tied):

1. It's You Who Taught It to Me - Fats Waller - The Unique Mr. Waller - 2:42 - 160 (12 plays)
   
2. Keepin' Outta Mishif Now - The Carling Family - 20th Jubilee - 3:32 - 120 (10 plays)
3. All of Me - Twin Cities Hot Club - Twin Cities Hot Club - 4:10 - 165 (10 plays)
4. Solid as a Rock - Ella Fitzgerald - Swingin' Ella - 3:00 - 145 (9 plays)
5. Come On Over to My House - Jay McShann - Jumpin' the Blues - 2:52 - 145 (9 plays)
6. I'm Crazy 'Bout My Baby - Louis Armstrong - Satch Plays Fats - 4:28 - 160 (9 plays)
7. On Revival Day - LaVern Baker - LaVern Sings Bessie Smith - 3:16 - 140 (9 plays)
8. Shine On Harvest Moon - Pete Fountain - Pete Fountain and the Kings of Dixieland - 2:52 - 160 (9 plays)
9. Don't You Miss Your Baby -Jimmy Witherspoon - Jimmy Witherspoon & Panama Francis' Savoy Sultans - 3:55 - 140 (9 plays)
   
10. Fibre de Verre - Paris Combo - Attraction - 3:39 - 135 (9 plays)

And here's the top songs by year. The length varies because I list all songs that have at least 5 plays in a given year.
