We’re taking the month of January to look back at some of the music you’ve helped power over the last twenty years in honor of The Current’s 20th anniversary! Today, our time machine has brought us to 2009. We were on the cusp of a new decade, but it was also an exciting time for music! 

In 2009, The Current’s countdown switched from looking at top albums to ranking individual songs. Take a look at the list above, and let’s craft a playlist full of 2009 classics!

So for today’s 9:30 Coffee Break, what songs from The Current’s top 89 Countdown of 2009 would you like to hear?
