Awesome to see Kings of Leon, Bryan Adams, Sacage Garden and Michael Jackson! Scot Joplin? The Entertainer? Really? I find it so annoying, people always show off by playing that song, and although it is a very cool piece, it's overplay has killed it! I prefer Maple Leaf Rag too


oh great seeing Jimmy Cliff too.

I myself had a BOAT countdown not too long ago and i had great comments, so it's nice to be able to return the favour.

Dance covers excessively irritate me, but great to see Bryan Adams and Heaven! Chris Brown and Spadnau are great too. American Pie too.

I've been reading I honestly have but I just wanted to comment on two pieces of awesomeness:

#51!!! Yay for Mariah making the chart. I like the acapella version too but I'm so happy to see her make it in.
Also #66!! Great to see someone else loving that track. It's such a good song and one of her strongest songs imo. Such a nice pick.

I'm also so happy to see the following pop up:
It Doesn't Mean A Thing, I Like Love (I Love Love), Kiss You All Over, True, Sunchyme, Heaven, With Every Heartbeat, Iko Iko, In The Mood, I Can See Clearly Now, Purple Rain and Young Hearts Run Free.
