Beauty And A Beat (#942)

Ahoy,

and so I passed the 213K mark...

Scrobble count:  213.127

Last week in covers:

Most played artists:

• Madonna: Fan times. And there was another anniversary for one of my favorite albums - "American Life".
• M.I.A. : New album context. And despite the controversial image, this artist has developed in recent years, I was curious about "M.I.7" - just to find two new favorite tracks.
• REKONE : New album context. I was checking out "Ärger" and it was okay.
• Holly Humberstone : Research context. "Cruel World" did not really convince me.

Most played tracks:

• Madonna - I Feel So Free : Call me hooked, even with a lack of lyrics. The beat drop after "Don't be a vibe kill" is my favorite part.
• M.I.A. - EVERYTHING : Hm, I really like that catchy tune - even though I'm not a big Jesus fan. 

Noteworthy:

• Sarah Brightman : I was thinking of her "Dreamchaser" era - and thus I came back to songs like "Angel".
• BIIG TIME : Flashback times.
• Katy Perry : Flashback times.
