 | Included above are the 120 bands 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 band had an entry in a list. The list is sorted by the number of entries and then the first year the band had an entry. |
| U2 cracked the half century mark in 2005 with 50 entries! Nobody else is close, and it's remarkable they keep adding to it. |
| As was the case with KROQ, I was surprised at the size of U2's lead. I was also a little surprise at seeing R.E.M. at #3. |
