Songs "Magnificent" finished lower than in 2009 Alt:
Seether's cover of "Careless Whisper" "Know Your Enemy" Incubus' "Love Hurts" "Ain't No Rest for the Wicked" "21 Guns" "Second Chance" "Use Somebody"
I have nothing further to add.

I liked the Coldplay songs about equally...but I thought this was the (slightly) better one.
A rare song that work radio actually helped me to appreciate more, rather than kill my appreciation for a song dead.

On one hand, I would have rather seen either of these Coldplay songs in the top ten over "Sex on Fire".
On the other hand, them going out back to back right before the top ten is pretty funny.

That means our top 10 is:
Adele - Chasing Pavements David Byrne & Brian Eno - Strange Overtones Fleet Foxes - Mykonos Franz Ferdinand - No You Girls Kings of Leon - Sex on Fire Lily Allen - The Fear Neko Case - People Got a Lotta Nerve Rodrigo y Gabriela - Buster Voodoo The Airborne Toxic Event - Sometime Around Midnight The Killers - Spaceman
Who are you rooting for for #1? Who do you think will make #1?

Obviously, HUGE step up in performance in 2018. Super cool to see this song in the top 10, really was not expecting it. (and I don’t think we’ll be ranking Neko Case again in retro AAA, so good one to go out on). My condolences, recordyear .

I've been waiting for this song to show up ever since we started to dive deeper into these AAA RDs, and I'm glad it's here in the top ten, especially when I wasn't totally sure it would be here.
Even with my (at the time) dislike of New Pornographers, I always liked Neko as a solo act.

Well, it was a damn good run for Rodrigo y Gabriela here. We’ll have the opportunity at least one more time in 2007 (maybe twice that year), but they’re also charting now. Will be interesting to see if they can match this performance. My condolences, rowellfarm490

Can we run 2019 back so "Mettavolution" finishes at least top 25 this time, as it deserves?
I'm glad this got a bit of revenge for it, anyway.

I knew this was gonna top "Wait for Me", and I knew I was gonna be salty about it.
At least it's not their sole best performer on AAA lol

The fact that a Neko Case song is in this rankdown makes the effort worthy.

When I was looking to include a song from 19 in my first pop RD, the choice came down to this and "Make You Feel My Love". To be honest, even though I still quite like this song, I made the right decision, because that cover has stuck with me a little more than this has.
Still fine with it being here, of course.

The main reason I couldn't get into "The Great Defector" as much as I would have expected is because David Byrne actually had a song here, too, and it just blew "The Great Defector" out of the water. I want to say that this was my favorite discovery, but I can't help but feel like I've heard this before somewhere.
