I asked the mods of the personal charts forum where to post this countdown. I got a 2-1 decision in favor of this forum.
I wanted to come out with a bigger, more detailed, and more dazzling display for the mid-year top 100. I was planning on doing pictures, covers, commentary, and more for the countdown but I decided to save it all for the year-end countdown when the countdown is bigger and has a better retrospective vibe. I'm looking forward to the year-end chart!
I had 319 songs make the countdown in the first 26 weeks of 2005. Even though I haven't done the research to back this fact up, I believe that this is a record by far for the first half of a year. I can recall that the 2003 and 2004 numbers of charted songs were between 400-450. Maybe it's an indication that there were a lot of good songs this year or that songs didn't have the longevity to last long on the countdown. Either way, it's amazing to see that 319 songs have already charted.
