The end of the year is coming right up, and that means it's time to reflect on your favorite music of 2018! We're taking a poll of your favorite songs — the ones that hit you hardest, wormed into your head, and/or supported you when you needed it. From 5 p.m. CST until midnight on Dec. 31, we'll count down your favorite songs on the air in our annual Top 89 countdown. You can hear it re-aired from noon until 7 p.m. on Jan. 1.

There's a big prize for one lucky voter; when you submit your Top 89 list, you'll be entered to win a turntable package and a $250.00 gift certificate from Down in the Valley.

If you'd like some inspiration or are curious about what's on others' playlists, find out what our staff has been listening to below.
