This Holiday Season Let Slacker Radio Be Your Soundtrack with 4 Great Countdowns

Taken for a Fool by The Strokes from Angles 1

Some music countdowns are based on so-called experts picks. Others are created by fan votes.

Slacker Radio took a different approach to determining the Top 50 Songs of 2011- they looked at what Slacker listeners actually LISTENED to, shared and “hearted”. In other words, their list of the top 50 songs of 2011 consists of the top 50 songs people actually listened to in 2011. How unique!

They also have released Top 50 Indie Songs of 2011,
Top 50 Country Songs of 2011 and the Top 50 Alt/Rock Songs of 2011. I’m enjoying the Top 50 Alt/Rock Songs of 2011 right now and it is a great mix!

Here’s a roundup of each, as well as links to them…
