For a few years I've been counting down what I've been most into with a countdown, it went from 20 to 30 to 50 as my tastes have widened and I've started getting more into alternative stuff as I've given up on radio and top 40 stuff. And before you think this is geeky, on another board where we do charts, I know someone who runs a top 100 every week, and he has a busy job and three kids.
