Top 89 of 2019: The Current Staff Picks
December 02, 2019
The end of the year is coming right up, and that means it's time to reflect on your favorite music of 2019! 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.
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.
