The 2000s: The Top 909 at 90.9 The Bridge

2000-2009:

Top 909 Songs According to
90.9 The Bridge

Over the fourth of July holiday in 2022, Kansas City radio station 90.9 The Bridge did a countdown of the top 909 songs of the 2000s, as determined by listener votes. I’ve attempted to make this list as accurate as possible, which includes correcting mistakes such as incomplete titles. I’ve added the years of the songs’ releases. Sharp readers will note there are some songs outside of the 2000-2009 window. I’m not sure how they ended up on the list. In addition, they have mistakenly listed Michael Atchison’s show Revival as the #452 song.

You can also check out other countdowns done by the Bridge over the years by clicking here.

Dave’s Faves: #1 Albums

Dave’s Faves:

#1 Albums: 1970-2022

September 18, 1982. I can peg my fascination with music charts to that date. After listening to a local radio station’s countdown of the hits of the summer, I decided to make my own list of favorites (see original list here). I ended up revising it every few days, eventually developing my own charts which I maintained into the ‘90s.

Along the way, I also tracked which albums racked up the most points each week, based on the entries on the song chart. I’ve revised those lists and expanded them, speculating on what might have been my #1 albums before and after the official charts I did from 1982 to 1994.

Of course, I realize no one really cares about any of this but me. That’s fine. It’s my website so alongside content which (hopefully) matters to others, I get to stroke my own ego and post some content which is only important to an audience of one. In any event, you can check out the lists here if you wish:

Dave’s Faves: #1 Songs

Dave’s Faves:

#1’s: 1960-2019

September 18, 1982. I can peg my fascination with music charts to that date. After listening to a local radio station’s countdown of the hits of the summer, I decided to make my own list of favorites (see original list here). I ended up revising it every few days, eventually developing my own charts which I maintained into the ‘90s.

I’ve made some adjustments to those original charts. First, the charts I did from 1982 to 1994 mixed current songs with classics. I’ve revised this list to put songs in their proper place chronologically. Second, since I didn’t do charts prior to 1982 or after 1994, I’ve speculated what would have been my #1’s.

Of course, I realize no one really cares about any of this but me. That’s fine. It’s my website so alongside content which (hopefully) matters to others, I get to stroke my own ego and post some content which is only important to an audience of one. In any event, you can check out the lists here if you wish:
