It seems like people don't listen the album from the beginning to the end.

[Chuzeville]

This looks like a lot of people give up before the end. 

[Alfie Bones]

Better, Shackler's, and Chinese Democracy are available without buying (or downloading) the album. Of course they'll be higher.

I think this is probably the case with any album, though. Songs like "Prostitute" and "Sorry" will get less plays because of their track number until people have gotten used to the album and start adding their favorite songs to playlists.
