Because iTunes says it
I'll quote myself:
Originally posted by LikeASong:Shiver (by Coldplay) is my most listened song of the last 3 months by any artist. 178 plays since the 1st of AugustCitizen Erased (by Muse) comes in at a respectable 2nd position with 147 plays, and If You Wear That Velvet Dress (by a certain Irish band) shares the third position with Butterflies And Hurricanes (by Muse again), both with 133. 4th position belongs to What You Know (by Two Door Cinema Club) with 128 listens, and 5th comes a triple tie, A Rush Of Blood To The Head (by Coldplay), Mardy Bum (by Arctic Monkeys) and Stay (Faraway, So Close!) (by U2), all 3 with 115 plays.
I wasn't surprised at all by Shiver and Citizen Erased at all, but -from the top of my head- I never would have expected If You Wear That Velvet Dress to be my most-listened U2 song. Nevertheless, when I come to think closely about it, it makes sense. It's more or less the only U2 song to which I listen every day -or almost-. And I use to do it at least twice in a row. It's just so haunting and quiet and gorgeous. The same goes to Stay, but that was to be expected, wasn't surprising at all.
