So they're not representative of what 6Music are playing now but it still seems a bit unlikely. And,yeah, you're right that we're not feeding any of the more specialist tracks as well as some of the overnight programmes because they're sometimes pre-recorded.

Remember that the last.fm profile is by no means complete - it only displays songs accessed on their central hard drives, which they are still building; so anything on vinyl, as well as any rarities, live tracks, Peel sessions etc. don't get shown. Incidentally, although U2 top the artist list, only two of their songs actually appear in the <a href="http://www.last.fm/user/sekrit/charts/&charttype=overall&subtype=track">top 280 tracks</a>. Given that they don't actually play that much U2, from my experience (and I listen to 6 quite a lot these days), I wonder whether it may be some sort of bug.

Matt first did this for BBC 6 Music, but asdoctorvee pointed out, he's created user accounts for Radio1, Radio2 and 1Xtra too. So what does this all mean? Great music without much dross (hopefully), from stations to suit almost everyone, played randomly with no annoying DJs or breaks!
