Here are my favorite songs of 2009 (top ten out of 1704 songs released in 2009)   The list of favorite songs is driven by two factors:  1) must be 5 stars and 2) highest play count.   The list is heavily influenced by songs that my wife or kids like.   I obviously had to still rate the song high, but if the family likes it the play count will be highest.    So, the list is most accurately described as the household’s favorite songs of 2009.
