Voted on by listeners. I had a huge list of guesses before it started (like over 100), of which I hit on probably 75% of the songs I listed as 'I'm sure are on the list'. I had this song down as top 100 song, but as the list counted down into the top 10 and it hadn't be on at all I was like this is bullshit! C'mon! Then it came on at #6! I was like hell yeah Here's the list, it's pretty fun. I listened to like 80% the countdown over the multiple days it was on.

Another I had on as 100% on the list was Jason Isbell - If We Were Vampires, and it hadn't been on either, again I was like NFW it can't be THIS high so it's NOT on the LIST?!?

Then it came on next at 5.

I had 7 Nation Army down as top 10 and Mr. Brightsides as a top 20. After song #3 came on and neither of those had played, I went ... the only question now is which 1 and which is 2 because there IS NO WAY those don't make it.
