About the List

bulletIncluded above are the 33 albums that had at least 5 countdown entries, which was the same cutoff I used for KROQ, along with the first and last years that the album had an entry in a list.  The list is sorted by the number of entries and then the first year the album had an entry.
bulletA lot fewer albums had 5 or more entries than KROQ.  Part of it is because KROQ has 3 years on 91X, but even so it makes you wonder if it's because 91X plays a greater variety of music.
bulletThere were 5 new albums cracking the list in 2007 after none made it in 2006 and only 1--Green Day's American Idiot--did in 2005.
bulletThe Red Hot Chili Peppers' Stadium Arcadium and The Killer's Sam's Town became only the 9th and 10th albums to have 6 or more entries.  Stadium Arcadium is the RHCP's second album on the list, joining Blood Sugar Sex Magik with 6.
bullet4 of the 33 are from U2.  Pearl Jam has 3.
