  • Terrific job great time listening to all top 100 songs very hard to chose we come from wonderful generations of music up until 1980s (just a few up till now). Keep up good work have another on the way. Why don't you put the top 100 songs on cd's and sell them much better than the garbage out today, could teach the young generations what music is all about instead of that head banging music. What they forget is that head banging music comes from classical and top quality music original then its rubbished and disrepected. Thanks keep up good work.

  • It would have been good to see more Tamla Motown singers on that top 10 2009...I love Motown and I think it will be remembered as one, if not the best record label in our time.
