* Each tune's "Session Popularity" score is the number of users on thesession.org who had added the tune to their "tunebook" at the time when I captured stats. It is therefore only a rough approximation of the relative popularity of tunes, and reflects a worldwide player population rather than the local Rochester population. I update my counts intermittently, so this number will be out of sync with the current popularity count on thesession.

** The "Month Started" number is in year-month format (2025-01 = January 2025).

Upcoming Tunes for the Year of Composers

In 2025, Ben decided to bring tunes by a number of 20th century composers in the Irish Trad idiom to the Learners Session rotation. 1-2 tunes from each composer are featured in a given month, alongside tunes from Rick Muir's The Source session books from our regular rotation. In his monthly emails, Ben plans to share recordings and information about the composers featured that month.
