Just because we work here - bringing you today's best new music - doesn't
mean we all have the same taste.
We decided to take a little poll around the Station and find out what made
everyone's year in entertainment... The result? Scroll down to take a look
at our Staff Picks of 2009. Agree or disagree, you never know, you may
find something new.
We hope you had a fantastic year and are looking forward to more in 2010,
from all of us here at Sophie@103.7.
