Three weeks and change ago, Jess and I started counting down our own year-end list, the songs from the past year that we listened to more than any others, a list put together through the not-very-scientific process of “smooshing together” of my top songs and Jess’ top songs. To get ready for Monday’s unveiling of our top two–and help you find those entries that you may have skipped over when you actually had days off work, unlike some people (ahem)–here’s the list so far:

40. Ne-Yo, “Addicted” 39. Melt Banana, “Blank Page Of The Blind” 38. Spoon, “The Underdog” 37. Lloyd, “Get It Shawty” 36. Sugababes, “About You Now” 35.
