I do remember Casey Kasem's "American Top 40" radio program (immortalized on Negativland's infamous
U2 ep) where he counted down the top forty singles according to Billboard magazine.
I have a text file of everything I've been listening to over the year of around seventy releases, but fifty just seems to be a good, round number considering that I don't think I'm going to make it to getting around to fully listening to a hundred different albums released this year.
