XB Countdown 2008 Edition


HI GUYS!! I'm back again!! My first blogpost for the so-called BER MONTHS here in MANILA. CHRISTMAS TIME is fast approaching again and PINOYS have the Longest CHRISTMAS SEASON. He He He!! Last OCTOBER 2006 WXB102 Internet Radio broadcast the "TOP 102 MOST SEQUESTERED SONGS" which I made a blogpost about it.
CLICK HERE for the 2006 countdown
"TOP 102 MOST SEQUESTERED SONGS":
YUP!! I was the one who first published this list on THE NEW WAVE OUTPOST back in 2006 and made a blogpost here on my blog last year 2007. I wonder why I wasn't given credit on the same list on another blogsite? Hmmmp!! I guess that's life. Well, last SEPTEMBER 15, 2008 WXB102 Internet radio made another poll and this time it was the "TOP 102 SONGS OF ALL TIME". Is there a real difference on the countdown theme? It's up to you to decide KABAYANS. The result was quite interesting and it's very different from the first one. Personally, I consider the First Countdown more intense and appropriate in a way. Hmmmp!! I think the original is always "THE BEST!". The most memorable part of that 2006 countdown broadcast for me was MORNING MAN's TOP20 songs. YUP!! MIKE SUTTON gave me an mp3 copy of it as part of the price of the said poll. CLASSIC INDEED that I will treasure!! So here it goes!! The list of the recent "TOP 102 SONGS OF ALL TIME" which I got from the 102 people.
