Listen for rules....

I'm pushing DRL's STP week back to next week for Guest Host Week right now.

Here are the rules:

1. I will PM you the countdown.
2. Feel free to have a co-host with you.
3. Include a live performance from someone on the countdown.
4. Premiere a song that is hot on your countdown right now, but it must have not been on my top 30 countdown, a close call, a wannabe or a heatseeker just yet.
5. Include 5 wannabes of your choice that haven't made my countdown, or have been on before, but fell off.
6. There isn't any song retiring after Miss Independent for a while after "I Must Not Chase The Boys" hits retirement home. Whoever's doing the countdown the day Play's song retires, post the final stats for IMNCTB.
7. MOST IMPORTANTLY, have fun.

I will do 7/15's countdown later.
