If the song counts continue as they have been, with equal amounts of plays among multiple songs, we're gonna have to rename this monthly feature to something like Your Guess Is As Good As Ours.February 2025's Top 29 Most-Played Songs features hard rock, soft rock, and all the other rock in between. There's a single song from the 60s and eleven songs from my favorite decade in music, 1973-1982. Curiously, one song carried over from January 2025's Most-Played Songs: "If Anyone Falls" by Stevie Nicks.

** - 33 because a few songs had the same number of listens
Wow, more than half of these songs are 2000s country, while about a dozen songs represent my absolute all-time favorite songs. Elton John's "Love Song" is not one of those favorites. We were gearing up for our annual love song countdown on The Drive, and that song had been suggested by more than one listener, so I listened to it more than a few times trying to determine where it should fall in the list. If I recall correctly, it fell near the end (the beginning?) at number 99 or 101. Still not a fan, but yeah, some folks really like it.
