Just over an hour ago, we had a 4.1 earthquake here in Southern Ontario (which I luckily didn't feel but our poor budgie got scared), however let's instead focus on yesterday's countdown hour.
We started out with the 80s and this at #108.

As we reached the next entry on The Top 600, I reminded my listeners that after this week's program there are only 9 shows left and then I'll hang up my microphone and retire from my DJ duties. Saddens me, actually. 😔
But let us continue the countdown with what came in at #114.
