Hall of Songs has chronicled the history of popular Western music since 1951, and after nearly three years, has arrived at 2010. It’s a year of “indie” breakthroughs from artists such as Beach House and the Black Keys, and of mainstream smashes from those such as Katy Perry and Rihanna.
Settle in and listen as we give you our top-12 songs of the year. Note: No voting until the next Veterans’ Committee episode, which we hope to release before 2024.

For this special episode, we’re joined by Andrew Unterberger of Billboard as we discuss the top … uh … 30 or so songs of the year, at least by our standards. You’ll get some Outkast, Jay-Z, Britney, Dizzee Rascal, Drive By Truckers, and a whole lot more.
For the second time in Hall of Songs history, a song lasts for a full diet of 10 elections. So what is the fate of George Michael’s “Freedom ’90”? Will it enter our pantheon of songs? Or will freedom burn forever?
That’s a dark way of putting it.
Anyway, other songs are also up for the Hall of Songs! Most of them are from the late 90s and 2000. OutKast, Eminem and Destiny’s Child are among the big names up for election. Tune in and find out just how they did!

Hall of Songs arrives at the latest Veterans Committee episode, in which Tim and Chris discuss songs from the previous four years of investigation, in this case 1995-98. They nominate four songs from that period for Hall of Songs consideration.
And they also talk about Phish.
Look, it’s one of Chris’ favorite bands. And it’s Tim’s least favorite anything. But they talk about ’em. And then Tim flips the script and talks about an artist he loved for years. It’s fun, trust us.
