    About this Episode

    Yes, there are new inductees in the Hall of Songs. Maybe they're the songs you most expected after listening to the 1971 episode. But the big news is what's on the other side of the ballot: Tim and Chris discuss some shocking cuts -- songs that didn't get enough support to stay on the ballot any longer.

    Listen, then visit our website at hallofsongs.com. Then come back for our 1972 episode and, after that, vote for the songs that you think should make our hall of fame.

    2007-10 Veterans Commitee: The Final 4 Nominees + Christmas Songs!

    As we come to the end of the main Hall of Songs timeline, we nominate the final four songs through the Veterans Committee. Spoiler: We've reached Peak Chris.

    Later, Tim and Chris talk about Christmas songs. Has Billboard gone too far in how it calculates the Hot 100? Can we get beyond the 15 or so standards that get overplayed every holiday? And what other songs should we paying attention to?

    2010! We Did It ... Now We're Dancing on Our Own

    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 drop before 2024.
