Currently listening. My #1 choice "You Keep Me Hanging On" (the one I picked as my entry) lands at #14. And that's where I am up to on the countdown right now.

The other two people went for "With Or Without You" (my other candidate) and "I Just Died In Your Arms" (I thought we might be past it). Pretty sure I'll be in last place.
