About the List

bulletIncluded above are the 35 albums that had at least 5 countdown entries, which was the same cutoff I used for KROQ, along with the first and last years that the album had an entry in a list.  The list is sorted by the number of entries and then the first year the album had an entry.
bulletA lot fewer albums had 5 or more entries than KROQ.  Part of it is because KROQ does more songs every year (107 vs. 91), and plus they've got 3 years on 91X, but even so it makes you wonder if it's because 91X plays a greater variety of music.
bulletThere were 2 new albums on the list this year--Linkin Park's Minutes to Midnight entering at #3 with a 5 entries in 2008 on top of 3 in 2007.  The Foo Fighters got their first album on the list with Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace.
