iTunes Meme Goes Forth

Three years in, and I'm apparently still going strong, although with fewer movies and more concert reviews. So I'm redoing the iTunes meme again, and noting that I saw 295 films this year (total of 3623 films), meaning I didn't even make one a day, but made two more than last year. Moving, dating, and game nights are to blame. Restricting my movie watching, damnit!

How many total songs?
22402, that's 57 days, 4 hours, 17 minutes, and 6 seconds or 97 GB. That's 3143 more songs than last year, although by when I added current iterations of tracks, there are 3372 more tracks.

Sort by Song Title - first and last?
A.B.C. by The Jackson 5 on the Hitsville USA box set
___ from Regina Spektor's Soviet Kitsch
iTunes changed the way it structures the alphabetization, putting numbers and other characters after the letters rather than before them.

Sort by Artist - first and last?
a-ha
+/-
I still like Take on Me and +/-, even if they may suck live, according to other people.

Sort by Time - first and last?
Intro from The New Pornographers' 9/20/2007 KCRW set
Symphony no. 9 from the BBC Philharmonic's Beethoven's Symphonies
That intro is just slightly shorter than the Ani DiFranco from last year. It's less than four tenths of a second shorter than that Ani track.

Sort by Album - first and last?
The A List by Wire
() by Sigur Rós
I don't actually own The A List, as it's a mid-period Wire album.

Top Five Played Songs:
Holland, 1945 from Neutral Milk Hotel's In the Aeroplane over the Sea
Blue Bird from The Rosebuds' Birds Make Good Neighbors
Kicks in the Schoolyard from The Rosebuds' TheRosebudsMakeOut
Throwaway Style from The Exploding Hearts' Guitar Romantic
Drille Me from Portastatic's The Summer of the Shark
Last year had Kicks in the Schoolyard, but I've just listened to the others more.
