Heaven knows I'm miserable now

  0 1 comment

New figures from Peter Gabriel’s entertainment recommendation website TheFilter.com show a dramatic rise in liking for ‘depressing music’, as the credit crunch bites.

The Ten Most Popular Depressing Songs, as rated by The Filter users in order :

1. Amy Winehouse - Tears Dry On Their Own
2. The Beatles - Eleanor Rigby
3. The Smiths - Heaven knows I'm miserable now
4. Coldplay - Trouble
5. The Verve - The Drugs Don't Work
6. Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb
7. Blur - No Distance Left To Run
8. Radiohead - How to Disappear Completely
9. R.E.M. - Everybody Hurts
10. Joy Division - Love Will Tear Us Apart

The figures have been gathered by measuring how many of The Filter’s user base positively rate or have previewed recommended audio tracks. The news comes just weeks after the Samaritans issued an appeal for more phone operators because their branches were so busy.
