Hello Hive Music Lovers!,
Welcome to another #threetunetuesday created originally by .
Today I was looking back and thinking, what was I listening to 10 years ago? How could I find this information out? Luckily for me, I stumbled upon scrobbling from Last.Fm and thought it would be a great idea to track the different tunes that I have listened to as it is always great to go back and check what you liked in the past.
I decided to drill down my library to January 2014 and see what were my top tunes that I was listening to at the time. Of course, it didn't catch all the plays and on all devices, but there were 126 scrobbles captured, mostly just from youtube by the looks of it.
The first thing I noticed was that I had played a few tracks from the film Lock Stock and 2 Smoking Barrels. I love this film and it has a really great soundtrack. I generally try to watch all of Guy Ritchie's movies and I know he has something recent out that I haven't watched yet which is cool.
The first tune is from Stretch and a great tune from the movie. Do you remember which scene?
Stretch - Why Did You Do It?
The second tune was a surprise and is the rapper Eminem and Rihanna with their collaboration - The Monster. I haven't really enjoyed listening to any Eminem tunes since my teenage years.
It is an ok pop tune with Rihanna but nothing special I think. With just 6 scrobbles, it was the 2nd most scrobbled tune for me back in January 2014!
Eminem & Rihanna - The Monster
The final tune is a great tune from Amy Macdonald. I haven't heard many tunes from her recently.
I think this isn't as popular as her main hit This Is The Life which has the most views on youtube.
With just 7 scrobbles, Amy takes the top spot in January 2014 of my most scrobbled tunes. I wish that I had setup scrobbling more detailed now, as it is great to look back at what you were listening to and also get some inspiration for new tunes.

With Last.FM you can see the days you were listening to tunes and get some great info about your listening habits. I was quite new to Last.FM back then, but am glad I set it up, even though its not so great to track everything you listen to.
Recently I noticed my scrobbler had been offline for over a year, so re set it up again on youtube and spotify so I can at least get some good data on my music trends again in 10 years time.
Just in the last week or so I have had 280 scrobbles and growing! Do you track your music listened to? What I like about LastFM is that it also gives you recommendations, based on your tastes and helps you discover some new tunes. I guess they all do that these days though.
That wraps up my #ttt for this week. I hope you are having a great musical Tuesday. Whats your favorite tune and what are you listening to this week?
