    Will you be publishing the top 500 trivia like top ten artists (by number of their songs in top 500), oldest song in top 500, newest song in top 500, most of same song sung by diff artists featured in top 500 … all those interesting tidbits of interest to us bean-counter types!!

    If all five of us had voted for Swing Low Sweet Chariot on Boomwhackers, would it have made the top 500?

    Fred & Co.

    I am LOVING this countdown. Such variety…from P.O.D., to Point of Grace, to Christmas, to early Michael W. Smith, to recent Michael W. Smith (and NONE of the songs I’m thinking off were my top 5!)

    Is there any way you can play this top 500 playlist on the radio several times throughout the year? : )

    Wjtl, I am loving the top 500! I second the top comment..I’m a sucker for stats and trivia. 🙂 how many people voted? You do usually reveal who had the most songs.
    It would also be pretty cool to hear it at least once a year (a replay). Keep up the good work!!

    I Loved the 500 count down and I am so glad you post all of them here.I agree with John and elisha^^^. I love the verity of music! it kept radio interesting.I kept trying to listen more to hear what songs were gonna play next. It was very hard to just choose 5. A lot of my favorite were played anyway.Good job WJTL.

    Another stat lover here… I’m wondering how many songs had the staying power to appear in all 7 Top 500s. Loved hearing all the old songs (I still miss the Classic Café).
