7 for 10. I knew Get Back (Ludacris) and Instant Crush were long shots but I was REALLY hoping Little Dark Age by MGMT would make it. It looks like it never got XPN airtime so maybe folks aren’t familiar with it if they’re not part of the TikTok world. The video is great, too. #xpncountdown

I already feel the loss! Thank you everyone for such a fun week and for putting up with my endless ramblings and reactions. Already eager to know what’s going to be next year’s theme! #xpncountdown

Mr. Brightside or Seven Nation Army? Is there some sleeper I’m forgetting? #xpncountdown

Never in my life have I been happier to hear Hey Ya! Jason Isbell is a darling, and that song is lovely. But I want to dance a few more times before Brandi Carlisle does me in. #xpncountdown

Quoting my son again, the guitar portion alone on Impossible Germany would deserve a top 10 slot. #xpncountdown

Rolling in the Deep was #1 in 2013. #xpncountdown

Could this be it? #xpncountdown

I still see him in my mind’s eye when I hear Take Me to Church. No offense to the incredibly talented and handsome Hozier. #xpncountdown

WHY DO I END UP CRYING IN THE WANING HOURS OF ALL COUNTDOWNS????? #xpncountdown

My little son in the back of the car, a tooth falls out. Someone Like You comes on. He starts singing it to the tooth!!! 😂😂😂 He’s at college now and we are listening and texting: “ the song to my tooth.” ❤️❤️❤️ #xpncountdown

Sorry. Based on how things turned out, I can’t enjoy Rehab anymore. #xpncountdown

I know they provoke a lot of reactions from people … from me, only ❤️❤️❤️❤️ and it delights me they are this high in this countdown. They paved the way for so much that followed. #xpncountdown

I was SO hoping Uptown Funk was going to directly follow Lose Yourself, so we would have back-to-back Mekhi Phifer and Michelle Pfeiffer shout outs! #xpncountdown

I love Sufjan Stevens. Chicago was my number one pick. It’s not even my favorite song by him, but I wanted him to be as close to #1 as possible. #xpncountdown

💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯 #xpncountdown

Yes, I will be researching the songs that grew in stature from 2013 to 2024. #xpncountdown

“Well, she was an American girl, raised on prom- …” I love The Strokes version better. #xpncountdown

YASSSSSSSSSSS!!!! The punk is daft, the daft is punk, and Nile Rodgers in every millennium is a genius. #xpncountdown

#xpncountdown

So much Radiohead, and not to be provocative, but ya know who we haven’t heard from in awhile … #xpncountdown

Props to Damon Albarn, for real. Spanning two centuries with absolute diverse brilliance! #xpncountdown

And at the end of Happy no less! #xpncountdown

If Happy is here, you know what can’t be far behind. I won’t spoil anything, but PW, NR, and two robots are involved … #xpncountdown

Song for Zula 100% deserves its ranking. I should have put it on my ballot. #xpncountdown

Coldplay is most like U2. At their peaks, NO ONE could touch them. #xpncountdown

My ranking of the recent countdowns: 1. Albums 2021 2. Songs 2020 3. Millennium 2024 4. Women 2023 5. 90s A to Z #xpncountdown

LCD really owes the Talking Heads some royalties or something on this. Good song. #xpncountdown

6 of 10! I’ll get to 7. So I passed, at least. #xpncountdown

Adele has been so successful, but one of her underrated accomplishments is making British idiom accessible to all. #chasingpavements #rollinginthedeep #xpncountdown

I’m so glad listeners have kept Warren in their hearts! Time goes on and impact can be forgotten … glad it’s not the case here. I got choked up hearing this. #xpncountdown

And when it’s this one song, your work is done. ❤️❤️❤️❤️ 5 of 10. #xpncountdown

Nice Fix You to Clint Eastwood segue right there! #xpncountdown

OMG!!! I thought we were done but I’m so glad we are not. Literal chills. #xpncountdown

I like Chaise Longue but I think it will be the Ho Hey of a future millennium countdown. #xpncountdown
