The ‘rules’ to your tune list are a little bit confusing, but I won’t worry about it.
I will just offer another tune for you to consider.
“Listen To The Music” by The Doobie Brothers, 1972.
There are no "rules," really.
I just took all the songs in my iTunes directory and ranked them from #50 to #1 based on the number in the "Plays" column. The closer you get to #1 on this list, the more frequently the song has been played on my computer or iPod over the years.
These aren't necessarily the best 50 songs in my opinion -- though there is a correlation between this list and a list of my favorites. These are just the ones that have been played most frequently.
I've come to figure out that there seem to be FOUR reasons why songs are ranked on this list (or ranked higher on this list than they would be if it were a rank of my favorites):
1. I've had the song in digital format for a long time, and it's just been played many times.
2. I like the song, so I rarely skip over it if it comes up while I am driving.
3. The song is on multiple playlists that I've set up, so it gets played a bit more often than others. "Midnight Rider" by The Allman Brothers Band, for example, shows up in playlists I've set up for classic rock songs, great highway tunes, and legendary guitarists (Duane Allman and Dickey Betts).
4. I've finally figured out that short songs tend to get played more frequently than long ones. That's because the iTunes play counter doesn't add another "Play" to the count unless the song is played to the end ... and longer songs are just a little more likely to be cut off in progress when I have to shut off the stereo.
That’s a great Doobie Brothers tune, by the way. It’s not on my Top 50 list but might be on my Top 100.
