Last.fm has announced the top ten most played artists by users of the musical listening tracking service. The chart was compiled based on plays logged – or scrobbled – for tracks on albums released between 1 Oct 2009 and 31 Oct 2010, excluding live albums and greatest hits collections.
This year Ke$ha came out top, with just under sixteen million track plays from her debut album ‘Animal’. She takes the top spot from Lady Gaga, who last year managed to rack up eighteen and a half million track plays from her ‘The Fame’ album.
