Okay, here we go —we’re off to the Best of 2010 program and column all coming up this weekend … but I thought I’d get things started a little earlier by looking beneath the TOP 50 and seeing what lies under the bubble as it were. We tracked 220 titles that came out in the prior 13 months … Of those, 133 titles made the final list as picked by those we polled, and the spins we monitored. Here is the list from 51-90. 1-50 will appear this Saturday — and the Best of 2010 show airs the week of Jan 1-Jan 6, depending on your locale.

they did … so did other titles …. but radio doesn’t always get titles or add them according to when something was released. 😉
“Carried Off By A Twister” by Sweet Sunny South was my fav of 2010 by any Colorado Band, and I have more than a few in the list!
