Alright my friends. The moment has arrived to unveil my favourite songs of 2009! It wasn’t easy as my iTunes “Best of 2009” folder had over 50 songs. Throughout the year I would continually add songs hoping that all of them would make the cut. The CD only has room for 1 hr 20 min worth of songs so I had to whittle it down to the songs that I felt:
a) were listened to repeatedly
b) were bought before the Dec 15 deadline
c) were with me as I ran, drove, rode the bus, worked, etc
So here is the playlist for DJ OMSTAR’s Presents: Favoritos de 2009 (don’t ask me which one was my favourite because that’s like asking me who is my favourite friend!)
