Happy Birthday Best 2009! (Episode 36)

It’s finally time. It’s finally come. I can’t believe it’s been one whole year since we’ve started. I suppose if you count the time that I spent acquiring the first chunks of music before the show even began, we’d have been at this almost 13 months now, but let’s not count that, it’s not fair.

One thing – you don’t get the playlist straightaway. If you want to find out who ended up where on the list for this week and next you’ll have to just listen. I will, however, be including each of our co-presenters’ top 5 lists so you can see who was nominated from the nominations. The next few weeks following this monumental show we’ll be playing some of the nominees that didn’t quite make the cut.

I thank quite a few people on the show but let me take this opportunity to thank you, the web listener for coming back time and again to the site to listen to the show. We wouldn’t be where we are and doing as well as we are now without you, so thanks!

Here are the Top 5 lists from our co-presenters. Make sure you subscribe or listen to the show this week to find out who ended up where in the countdown and I’ll be posting the true list in a few weeks.
