As we're getting closer to the end of the year, I've begun thinking about what might win my annual Song of the Year award. I then realised that for the past 2 years I've had a blog I haven't bothered to put up my song of the year list. So Starting today we're going to go all the way back to 2002, work our way through the years, and finishing with the 2007 list which will be unveiled in December. There is one disclaimer, trying to figure out what year to use a song in can be annoying. Like, if the album came out in 2001, but the single got airplay in 2002, what year would it go in? (I say 2002). Tougher still is what to do with a song that gets released at the end of one year, but makes it big at the start of the following year. Again tough call. So basically, don't complain about the dates. Just enjoy the list.
