Last year I fell agonising short of 20000 tracks played (and scrobbled to last.fm), read about the pain of 19660 tracks here.
Anyway, I decided to aim for 20000 this year, getting me back to the halycon days of 2013. That works out to 5000 per quarter (roughly), or 54.79 tracks per day. I decided, to give myself some breathing room, that aiming for 2000 per month was achievable, and if I managed that I'd break 20000 around Oct/Nov. Setting me up for a) actually managing the 20000 and b) a massive increase over the 20000.
Sure I could just spin a lot of very short tracks (Napalm Death's "you suffer" seems ideal), but that seems like cheating.
I have setup a spreadsheet to map current and require run rate. Because, of course I have.
4 April update
halfway through the day and I'm sitting at 6434 tracks played this year, significantly over the 5000 I needed for the end of March. Here's snip of the run rates (data and graph - the green signifies it's over 60 tracks per day, there are colour changes as this drops before 65/day).
