WBER Listener Countdown 2008

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 positions are marked 'T' on the page. Names printed surname-first or as 'National, The' are turned around, and obvious misspellings are corrected where spotted. #16 is printed 'Kings Of Leon - On Fire' and is written as Sex on Fire.
