| Who's on your iPod?" Top 100 Performer Countdown - 2005 |
||||
| Everyone is iPod crazy these days! So we asked our listeners: what artists top their iPod playlist? Imagine you could fit only 10 artists (folk - or any genre) on your iPod . . . who would they be?
This list represents the responses of over 900 hundred WUMB listeners from 49 states and several countries including England, France, Germany, Iraq, Israel, Italy, five Canadian provinces (including Alberta, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Quebec and New Brunswick), The Netherlands, Switzerland, and the Turks & Caicos Islands. Ballots were submitted from July 1 - November 9, 2005. We included performers #101 to #120 in case you wanted to see who "just missed" being included in the Top 100. This list reflects the final Top 100 Countdown. The Top 100 was played all week, November 14 through 18th, 2005. |

* As a result of the large number of ballots this year, a glitch in the original tabulation inadvertently left Joni Mitchell off the list. She has been placed on the Top 100 Countdown at 7.5 based on the number of votes she received. You help to support WUMB by using the links below when you purchase your CD's through Amazon |
