I finished sifting through all the remaining data involving my stream for 2006, with only a month remaining before having to do it again for 2007 when it’s finalized. Some results are the same but I think the Most Played Artist/Band category will change in the next year or two since everything gets diluted as the stream expands. I think the smart money will be on They Might be Giants overtaking the Thin White Duke. Below are the results.
