Here it is, folks! The numbers have been crunched, all the formulae have been adhered to, various algorithms have been double-checked, and even human input has been sought in coming up with CBCRadio3's Top 103 Songs of 2009! I call it The R3-103, for short.
Find a comfortable seat, put your feet up, order some food, boil some coffee, and prepare yourself to spend the next SEVEN HOURS (yes, 7) with yours truly as we walk down Memory Lane, stopping 103 times to smell the musical roses.
As we celebrate the music of the past year, I'll also be replaying some of my favourite phone calls to chart-topping artists from 2009, including a brand new call to this year's #1 artist!
All in all, this may be the most rewarding seven straight hours that you and I have ever spent together.
You can hear The R3-103 right here or on SIRIUS 86 on Christmas Day @ 5 pm, Boxing Day @ 10 am, New Year's Eve @ 5 pm, and New Year's Day @ 7 am! All times ET.
