Every week on my personal top 40 chart, songs are assigned points: 1 point for #40, 2 points for #39, etc, until 40 points for #1. Then, at the end of the year, I add the points up and rank the songs by points from #1-#100. And now, here are my Top 100 songs for the year 2001!
If a song was on my 2001 year-end chart, its position is noted in the
last year column.
An * in the last-year column indicates that the song is likely to appear
on my 2002 year-end chart.
