Listener voting for this countdown was criticized as manipulable at the time (see Toronto Mike's "102.1 The Edge Top 200 Of All Time Countdown Voting Rigged", torontomike.com, October 2009), since the station pre-selected the pool of 200 songs and fans could only reorder them (with a write-in option). Rank order taken from the page's own <ol> markup (not printed as explicit numbers).
