Counting Down my iTunes Play Count (VANITY) -- Day #17

Day #17 of the Top 50 songs on my iTunes playlist -- ranked in reverse order by play frequency from #50 to #1 and presented here on a series of FR threads. I'm posting them here on a new thread that compiles the growing list one day at a time over the next couple of months. I only post them on weekdays and may miss a day or two here and there, so it will take at least ten weeks to do this.

And to show my gratitude to the FR management for giving us all a forum to post vanity threads like this, I'll be making a contribution for the current AND next quarterly fundraisers. I would encourage everyone on these threads to do the same! :-)

I was away on vacation for the past week so missed a few of these. I'll search them out and read through them but might as well get my own list up to date and in sync with yours.

My #35 most played song...

Chris de Burgh - A Spaceman Came Travelling (1975)

Better known for his 1980s hit "The Lady In Red", I am much more fond of this song of his. I'm not sure this was intended to be a Christmas song but I always associate it with Christmas and so play it often that time of year.
