Based on what users are listening to (“scrobbles”, as it were), the top 10 charts in artists, albums, and tracks have been compiled for Last.fm’s Best of 2008 ; let’s have a look! A bit different for the most part from the list of my own (or Ian’s), but it is interesting to know what people are actually listening to. Albums which have complete full streams on Last.fm are highlighted and clickable.
