Listeners Top 100 Favourite Songs

Towards the end of 2003, BBC Southern Counties Radio staff were collecting votes for listeners favourite songs which were then played on the station in reverse order over about two days at the end of December. Listeners were allowed to submit three songs and here are the results, the most popular being Wind Beneath My Wings sung by Bett Midler. BBC SCR produced their own system of rating each song, the original list of songs and their rating system can be found here.
