I promised I wouldn't overdo these "Popular Songs" posts this time around. Due to the fact that we're at Vol. 6 of this particular year (not the mention the excessive number of songs in this one), I think I may have gone back on my word somewhat. But I promise this is the last set of songs from a most momentous year for music. If I delved any deeper than this, the songs would be mediocre at best, and you deserve better than that. So...enjoy!~JH
