I really would like to know how they make up these countdowns...

I was AMAZED "Since U Been Gone" is all the way up at #78, when that song is fairly new and not even played THAT THAT much on z103, ahead of songs like Breathe, DJ Tatana, Aluna, Bare As She Dare, which all got (and still do) ALOT of play on z103.

and Aventura Obsesion came out later in the year, early November, but hell they played that song OUT...and for it to only be at #51 on the year-end countdown?? Behind American Idiot? LOL...

I really don't understand some of that crap...like Blink 182 in the Top 40, when I heard that song maybe like a total of 20 times on the radio

I love Royal Gigolos were at #3, that's awesome...really loved that song this year.

And of course so predictable Usher Yeah was #1

[Slinky]

It looks pretty random.  Probably made by taking the actual most played songs of the year, flipping them around a bit and adding some extras.  Year-end countdowns aren't exactly scientific.

I have to wonder about some of these ranks though.

96 - "Always On My Mind".  Yeah, it was towards the end of the year, but z really played this one heavily.  Should have been higher.  Same for "All Of My Life".

87 - "Truly".  Whaaaaaaaaaat?  This was one of the most played dance hits of the year for z.  This should have been way higher.

63 - Kalan Porter?  Who?

57 - "Just A Little More Love" - This was a big dance hit in the States, but I rarely heard this on Z.  Should have been lower.

56 - "Flashdance" - Should have been higher.  No explanation necessary.

26 - Hilary Duff?  At 26?  Really?  Should have been lower.

16 - "Alive".  OK, this was a hit, but it wasn't THAT big a hit.  You can't say Da Buzz was bigger than say, "Flashdance" or "Hear My Name".

3 - Royal Gigolos - Again, this was a big hit, but z has this as the biggest dance hit of the year?!  I really like the song, but I never would have placed it that high.

I actually think Blink 182 is one of the songs that's placed about right.  I heard that a lot on the station towards the middle of the year.

My biggest complaint that I can't believe happened, it's a travesty in my opinion and I'm not over-reacting.

MOTORCYCLE- AS THE RUSH COMES!!!!

One of the biggest dance songs of the year for z103.5, hung around from the beginning of the year to the end of May, early June.
It wasn't even on the countdown! Not even near the bottom. That's horrible IMO.

Da Buzz-Alive, I'm happy it ranked so high, it was a great song in the spring and I'm surprised it was recognized so highly.

California Dreamin'- very good, I didn't think it was the best dance hit of the year.

24! Armand Van Helden's "Hear My Name" deserved top 10 imo. Besides that, I thought the top 10 was perfect as far as the station's playlist has been this year. Except Nelly, I heard that song about twice.... the song isn't that great, Nelly can't sing slow songs, stick to what got you to fame. Partnering up with a country music singer...... ???

Oh well, enough of my thoughts. z103 didn't impress me much this year and I'm glad I have other sites/stations to get good music from.

Aluna at #93? That tells me right off the bat the list is faulty.

Memo to Z103.5: If I wanted to listen to people like Usher, Terror Squad, P Diddy, and Nelly, I would listen to FLOW (which I wouldn't do)

The fact that Eamon is even on this list makes me shake my head in shame.

"Oh well, enough of my thoughts. z103 didn't impress me much this year and I'm glad I have other sites/stations to get good music from"

Yes, thank God for Digitally Imported.

Kalan Porter is the winner of the 2nd Canadian Idol...in contrast to U.S. stations and American Idol contestants, Canadian stations generally seem to be open to the finalists, probably partly due to Can-Con requirements. Haven't heard the song, but i'm assuming it's the big sappy cheesy ballad requisite for all debut Idol releases.

there is supposedly a dance remix for Eamon...not that that would be any better than the original.

in general, this seems like a pretty cool station. reminds me of Power 96 in Miami back in the day, but with a bit more rock.

[HER MINAJesty]

Yea, I really don't get those LOL

Hilary Duff 'Fly' at #26, it should really have been like #100

I agree about Always On My Mind, that song first came out on Z in like August. And I STILL hear it at least ONCE a day, almost 8 months later. To only be #96 is really really confusing.

It makes zero sense. That Always On My Mind is lower than LMC vs. U2, when I haven't heard that LMC song like 10 times in total, but Always On My Mind still gets played at least once a day, straight for the past 8 months.

I disagree about David Guetta though. I actually think that song should have been higher. It came out earlier in the year but it was the #1 top dance song on Z for at least a month or 6 weeks there, in the Spring.

and Kelly Clarkson Breakaway #13 is just a BIT too high there lol. I dont think Z played it THAT much. I definitely didn't hear it as much as Always On My Mind or other songs they played alot.
