This could be on your device or just in your music software. I have a zune, so I use my zune software to play songs on shuffe and I intentionally try not to play anything I want to hear just so it will play what it wants. If I want to hear something specifically, I just use windows media player to listen to it so I don't interrupt the shuffle playback of the songs in my zune software. I do, however, question my zune software count info. If I put a new song in my library, it should be the last song on the list since it's new and hasn't been played yet. Instead, it's not last on the list, so that's questionable, but it's fun, nonetheless (smile). List your top 5 most played songs as of this Saturday, 12.19.09. Here are mine:

1. Fame (The Game) - Donna Summer
2. Be Myself, Again - Donna Summer
3. For Your Entertainment - Adam Lambert
4. The Queen Is Back - Donna Summer
5. Strut - Adam Lambert
