WBER Listener Countdown 2005

From WBER's countdown archive page: listeners vote for their five favourite songs of the year and the station counts down the results on New Year's Day. Tied songs share a number and the next song takes the next number, so the list has 230 songs under 93 numbers. Names printed surname-first or as 'National, The' are turned around, and obvious misspellings are corrected where spotted.
