[Brad_M]

So we got the 'TON' up. Great work.

( I don't know if that's a U.S. expression - for reaching 100 - or just one of ours?)

Are we going for 150. Or will we start on 'GUYS' NAMES'???

Never heard of that expression before, 55.

It must be a down under thing.

I vote for starting on guys' names.

The girl list is thinning out and it's wearing me down searching for the stragglers.

[night2day]

can we at least round it off to 110?

Sure, a new category is easy but why deny the challenge of thinking and producing a song that's hard to remember? Especially a music thread that tops 100? Just throw it away?

Though, Brad makes a good argument but I think we should keep going. I have another 20 girl songs that charted and they ain't "stragglers."

Utitmately it's double nicky's call.

[Brad_M]

I guess I can put a little more effort into this one for a while. Here we go.
