* Some songs that appeared on last years list i had owned before they actually came out properly this year (as singles or on albums released this year) so in some cases i will be entering them again on this years list. In some cases i won't, depends whether or not i think of them as '07 or '08 songs. My game, my rules..ha! Their have been a few amazing tracks i've been hammering over the last month or so that would have definitly featured right up near the top of the list (if not the very top). They'll be out next year so i'll leave them off this list and save them for the '09 one.

The rules this year are that each artist may have up to 3 entries, 2 of which may be tied in the same position (or not).
