Comparing the top 10 of a year to the top 10 of a week isn't exactly fair if you wanna make an argument over which year is better, but purely for the purposes of a game, sure.
ONly problem is, without the name of the artists for each of these songs, it's kinda hard to take part in this game. Other than the songs by The Cure, I don't know what artist any of those songs are by and likely don't know the songs at all.

I wanted to do the year-end of 2013, but the tide has shifted in the last four months that it doesn't seem entirely accurate.

1. "So Alive" vs. "Come With Me Now" 2. "Fascination Street" vs. "The Walker" 3. "I'll Be You" vs. "Bad Blood" 4. "The Mayor of Simpleton" vs. "Fever" 5. "Dirty Blvd." vs. "Do I Wanna Know" 6. "Proud to Fall" vs. "Fall in Love" 7. "Love and Anger" vs. "Magic" 8. "Charlotte Anne" vs. "Come a Little Closer" 9. "Veronica" vs. "I Wanna Get Better" 10. "Lovesong" vs. "Giants
Although to be fair, I don't really know many of the songs from the 1989 chart.

Alright guys - I'm starting a guessing game. I would do this in the Games section, but no one there is an Alt forum guy so I'll just do it here.
Guess my year end top 20 on my personal chart so far for this year. It is compiled using a complex formula that involves weekly points, inverse system, data shift, buzzhype and prior demeanor. (All terms I use in my personal chart). The person to get #1 gets 20 points, and the person who gets #20 gets 1 point. If you've looked at my personal charts recently, it'll be a help.
# "SONG" - ARTIST GUESSED BY POINTS

haven't payed enough attention to your personal chart, I'd guess Take Out The Gunman is at least Top 5, maybe even #1. I don't know how long your #1's typically last though.

Also #1s vary in length - this year, I've had a 13-weeker, and multiple 1-weekers. It just depends on the competition. As for paying attention to my chart, just go on the thread and search up my username. You'll get there

Uh, I'll guess Guilty All The Same longevity is key to this game - despite being #1 for 4 weeks, it's only been on the chart for 11 weeks. Also, my chart year begins on the last week of November too, so there's some crossover action from late 2013.

Alright, let's play Guess the Song.
This song is by a band who only charted once. It was a huge hit, peaking at #7 on Alternative. The lead singer of this band was also in another band that had a semi-hit on the Alternative chart at the turn of the century.

Is it The Almost - Say This Sooner? Nope. That was a top 10 hit? Yes. It was also their only charting hit, peaked at #7, and featured a member from Underoath.

My previous guess was Gnarls Barkley - Crazy, but it can't be because their other hit was by a band. Time to get obscure...is it Zwan - Honestly?
Or Youngblood Hawke - We Come Running?

I can't believe how many songs fit that clue...
My final guess is Temple of the Dog - Hunger Strike.

Pretty Reckless - Heaven Knows. Also a total guess, cuz I just joined not less that a month ago, but its one of my favs of the year, so if I'm right, I'll have an orgasm. .
