Last night, right after midnight, I saved my Last.fm chart data for 2008, so that I could play with it and figure out what my top artists and songs of 2008 were, according to the service. Mainly, it was for my own curiosity, but I figured that I may as well blog about it, for posterity, at least. This is based on the top 500 artists and top 500 tracks, as that is all that Last.fm shows you.

Here are my top 25 most played tracks:

1. “Take You There” by Donnie Klang featuring Diddy.
2. “Need A Wife” by Charlie Wilson featuring Diddy.
2. “Living in Pain” by The Notorious B.I.G. featuring 2Pac, Nas and Mary J. Blige.
4. “Hot & Wet (Remix)” by 112 featuring Chingy, Ludacris and Diddy.
4. “I Get Money (Forbes 1-2-3 Billion Dollar Remix)” by 50 Cent featuring Diddy and Jay-Z.
6. “Hood Figga (Remix)” by Gorilla Zoe featuring Block, Rick Ross, Jim Jones, Yung Joc and Young Jeezy.
7. “Used to Be” by Ryan Leslie featuring Fabolous.
8. “Check Your Coat (Remix)” by O’Neal McKnight featuring Puff Daddy, Jermaine Dupri and Greg Nice.
8. “Justify My Thug” by Jay-Z.
10. “Ignorant S***” by Jay-Z featuring Beanie Sigel.
11. “Through the Pain (She Told Me)” by Diddy featuring Mario Winans.
12. “Superstar” by Lupe Fiasco featuring Matthew Santos.
13. “Cheat on You” by Mase featuring Lil’ Cease and Jay-Z.
13. “By Faith” by Diddy featuring Fred Hammond.
13. “Rock U” by Ryan Leslie.
16. “Flashing Lights” by Kanye West featuring Dwele.
16. “Official Girl” by Cassie featuring Lil’ Wayne.
16. “Damaged (Remix)” by Danity Kane featuring Fabolous.
16. “Get Buck in Here” by DJ Felli Fel featuring Diddy, Akon, Ludacris and Lil’ Jon.
20. “We Fly High (Remix)” by Jim Jones featuring Diddy, T.I., Baby and Young Dro.
20. “Apologize (Remix)” by Timbaland featuring OneRepublic and Gorilla Zoe.
20. “Confessions” by 8 Ball & MJG featuring Poo Bear.
23. “Addiction” by Ryan Leslie featuring Cassie and Fabolous.
23. “Check Your Coat” by O’Neal McKnight featuring Greg Nice.
25. “Apologize” by Timbaland featuring OneRepublic.
25. “The Way I Are” by Timbaland featuring Doe and Keri Hilson.

Analysis: Well, everyone knows I’m a huge Diddy and Bad Boy fan, so that certainly shines through, as 9 of the 25 tracks feature Diddy and 17 feature a current or former Bad Boy artist. I’m a little surprised that Timbaland snuck in there as many times as Ryan Leslie, but I guess he just made it at the end.

Here are my top 25 most played artists, along with the top 3 tracks by them and top 3 tracks featuring them, if there are that many, in either category.
