Best of 2008

Well yes I know this is a little late but I don't care. I'm going to list the top 10 artist, albums, and songs I listened to in 2008 according to Last.fm Note that when I get to tracks I will only list each artist once.

*IMPORTANT: The numbers displayed might not (and most likely are not) be correct. This is due to the fact that I often have music playing and for some reason or another Last.fm is not keeping track of this. This is not Last.fm's fault, but mine since I either choose not to log in or am on a computer that doesn't have (or doesn't support) the software necessary to keep track of played music.
