last.fm isn't the only chart that counts. It's 'your' chart that counts - last.fm is only in the URL for search purposes :) My chart happens to correlate well to last.fm as all my listening happens digitally. If you play vinyl, it'll be useless, so you'd have to find another way of remembering/acknowledging/considering what were the records that meant most to you...

I'm not likely to do enough listening in the next 30 hours to mess this up. It's possible, but unlikely...

[response cut 'n' pasted from the same comment on the blog]

Which decade does? A decade is 10 years – 2000-2009 is 10 years, so is 2001-2010. Take your pick.

These are the 10 years beginning 200* – the 10 years that followed the millennium celebrations that ended the previous 1000 years.... See More

make sense?

Well..

You start counting by saying "1" … right?... See More
There never was the year 0 (zero) … you do the math ;-)

Those who celebrated 1999/2000 simply got it wrong.

But this (mis)understanding probably comes from the English use of 20’s 50’s etc. So it’s more of a sentimental “looks good” reason than anything else to call the decade from 0-9.

I had this misunderstanding back in 1999 … until my father explained it to me :-p
