How would you like to post my song reviews?

I have some pretty weird stuff on my iPod. Weird, but good. So, because I've fallen far behind eMusic (I can't keep up with 1 song every day) and because good music should be shared, I'm going to post music I already have. I hope to be adding more music to my iPod from free sites and iTunes semi-regularly, or at least often.
Until I come up with a better system, I plan to post like this: Every Monday morning.... or sometime Monday, I will sync my iPod and reset the play count of all the songs in my library. Every Saturday, I'll find the top 10 most played songs of my week and post (or embed) and talk about them. Most likely I'll post on Mondays. Another idea would be to use the first ten songs when I use the shuffle function.
Both of them aren't perfect: I have a comfort zone of songs I tend to listen to, just because I know what I'll get, and because they're floating fairly high in my subconscious. So, unless something happens and I shake things up, or remember other good songs, this could result in some songs never being shared. Also, when I buy music, I tend to buy entire albums and then listen to them almost compulsively for awhile, which could result in repeats of songs.
Shuffling then, should be the answer... except I don't like shuffling. It's too random. Shuffling by computer leaves you with no reason for the ordering of the songs.
If you'd prefer I follow my zeitgeist of songs verbatim, or excluding repeats, or shuffling, or whatever, answer the question!
For this 1st week, I'm using the 10 most played songs of my week.
