This chart here shows the most listened to songs from both albums in the space of a week. The results are from ‘last fm’. The most listened to record was ‘Breakeven’ which was from the first album ‘The Script’ which was released back in 2008. It was played over 7,200 times. The second most listened to song was ‘The man who can’t be moved’ which had over 6,300 listens and also came from the same album. This must mean that the first album was more popular or that people haven’t been able to affiliate themselves with the newer album yet. 

The chart below is very similar however it has taken the results over the space of 6 months rather than a week. However the top 3 are all the same just with many more views as ‘Breakeven’ has been listened to over 86,000 times.
