4TH ANNIVERSARY SPECIAL EDITION!
Wowzers. Four years already? I remember the very first time I posted this ****down: I was bored out of my mind and I said "what the hell, I'm gonna start my ****down and see how it goes", plus at that time I had a weekly ****down that I posted somewhere else so I basically just switched from weekly to daily. What I never imagined is that it would last FOUR years...that's 1461 days! Nearly 1200 songs have debuted, 174 songs have retired and I've had a great time posting this **** everyday since 2003. To be honest I'm planning to end this ****down sometime in the near future because instead of being something fun to do, lately it turned into a chore, but that's a different story. For now let's celebrate 4 years of the best ****down you'll ever find, starting with today's ****down.

Now let's take a look at the very first ****down 4 years ago, with comments!!!
10. Moby - In This World
- I was really into Moby at that time, this song managed to retire and Moby had several oher debuts like Jam For The Ladies, Lift me Up and Sunday
9. The Donnas - Take it Off
- Where are they now? This song spent only 1 day on my ****down, later Who Invited You debuted and spent 1 day too. Needless to say, The Donnas weren't big at all on this ****down.
8. Timo Maas - Help Me
- Another obsession of mine at that time was techno / electronica, Maas had another debut in the summer of 2005. He also was never big on this ****down.
7. Kylie Minogue - Dancefloor
- My ****down is known for being able to debut virtually any song. This non-single was amazing and I couldn't leave it out. Kylie has been one of this ****down's dominants since it started.
6. Cirrus - Boomerang
- This masterpiece is incredibly good. I only know it because of a tv channel called Mun2 that used to ***** this all the time. Cirrus' sole debut on this ****down, spent around 9 days total.
5. Jennifer Lopez ft LL Cool J - All I Have
- First of many many J Low debuts. This would've retired but it was already played out by the time this ****down started
4. Craig David - Hidden Agenda
- Craig's only song released in Mexico. He's one of my fave artists ever and obviously I had to debut this. He had several singles and non-singles on this ****down from the "Slicker Than Your Average" era, and 3 more songs from the "The Story Goes" era. Sadly, none of his songs ever retired on my ****down.
3. Shakira - The One
- Another dominant artist on this ****down. She's had every single since The One debuted on my ****down. Plus she owns the record for most days at #1 (27 days, Hips Don't Lie)
2. Jay Z ft Beyonce - '03 Bonnie & Clyde
- This song was old by the time this ****down started. Jay's had strong appearances on my ****down like Encore, Change Clothes and Dirt off Your Shoulder. He even has a song on my current "voting list" that might retire.
1. Ja Rule ft Ashanti - Mesmerize
- Ja Rule's only hit on my ****down. This is the first song to ever reach #1 and to ever retire. He's had other songs on this ****down, all of which performed poorly.
I would like to thank everyone who's voted/requested/commented in the past 4 years, this would've never been accomplished without you. Thanks.
AAR and Aly & Aj RETURNS!!!
