Top 20 Listened Albums of 2007

I recently voted in the annual Village Voice Pazz & Jop writers poll for favorite albums and singles of 2007.
I'll post my picks soon but i think it's just as notable, if not more so, to check my actual listening habits in 2007, thanks to lastfm.

Obviously lastfm only represents my listening habits primarily at work on my computer, so all the tracks i played as a DJ are not included, or all the music i listened to in my car while commuting (oh, if only there were a way to track every single thing i play!) -- you get the idea.
A great example is LCD Soundsystem's Sound of Silver, which i listened to much more than 30 times, especially from a DJ perspective. Plus there were many remixes of these same tracks not reflected in the album count.
Still, this is a pretty accurate portrayal of my average listening habits on a day-to-day basis.

This is the first of three posts, the remaining two contain my top 20 listened artists and tracks of 2007.

The numbers in parentheses are the number of times i listened to a track from this particular album listed.
