Time Capsule: 53 Weeks of 2010

When I began reflecting on this past year in music, I became overwhelmed with a bucket load of feelings. I wasn't completely sure how much I really engaged new albums, or when I thought about what I was listening to six months ago, it felt like I had gone through a few lifetimes since then (not to mention the first half of this year was spent in a whole other country). Reflecting on an entire year of music can be both enlightening and painful, given how tied music is to our lives and all the events and feelings that fill them. So, before I could re-engage all the new music to come out in 2010, I decided to take a hard look at what I listened to new and old, week by week. It would be careless of me to talk about brand new songs and albums, without considering what sort of impact past music (but new to me this year) had on me. Here's my time capsule - a breakdown of my most-played songs for each week of 2010:
