WBER Listener Countdown 2009

Fan transcription posted 2010-03-05 of WBER's listener poll, with many tied positions (marked 'T'). WBER's own countdown page (wber.org/countdowns) has the same ranking but cuts most names short, so the blog is used and the station page only to check it: from the station page, #96 'Coulton Graham' is Graham Colton, #98 'Jeremy Engel' is Jeremy Enigk and #99 'Titanium Vandalism' is Titanic Vandalism. Other spelling fixed: Spiralling, The Crystal Method - Drown in the Now, Daylight, Propane Nightmares, Pete Yorn & Scarlett Johansson, Until We Bleed, The Limousines, Mat Kearney, Matisyahu; 'Enders, Ace and a Million' (#76) is written out as Ace Enders and a Million Different People.
