“The 885 Greatest Songs of the 21st Century”

Yesterday (12/5/2024) WXPN started counting down “The 885 Greatest Songs of the 21st Century,” as voted by its listeners. My picks are below. I voted somewhat strategically, with the idea that songs that never got played on the station would have little chance of making the list. (The exception is #10, which was so huge that I thought it might have a shot anyway.)

 

1.      From A Windowseat – Dawes

2.      Put Your Records On – Corinne Bailey Rae

3.      Satellite – Guster*

4.      My City Of Ruins – Bruce Springsteen

5.      Help Me – Low Cut Connie

6.      Sailing To Philadelphia – Mark Knopfler

7.      Silver Lining – Rilo Kiley

8.      Uptown Funk – Mark Ronson w/Bruno Mars

9.      Dark Necessities – Red Hot Chili Peppers

10.   Blinding Lights – The Weeknd

*  The only one to make Day 1 of the countdown, at #802
