About this countdown

Q101 Top 300 Party Songs of All-Time (July 2004) was broadcast by Q101 (Chicago, IL) in July 2004. Positions are shown exactly as the station ranked them; artist and song names have been standardized so that every entry links to that song’s complete chart history across all stations. Because it is a themed or special countdown, it is archived here but not counted in the combined rankings.
