50 Tracks

50 Tracks is a Canadian radio program, which aired on CBC Radio One in 2004. The show, hosted by Jian Ghomeshi, was a listener vote to determine the 50 most essential songs in pop music history. This said, the choice was not by any means based solely on popular vote. Each episode in the series was devoted to the most influential/best of one decade (some decades being given two weeks, others especially earlier in the century being lumped in with each other).

Each week, three celebrity guests nominated songs from each time period, to arrive at a list of four songs. In the next few days, listeners would then vote on a fifth selection from the songs originally nominated. At the series conclusion listeners voted on these songs, plus 10 additional songs suggested by listeners.

A sequel series, 50 Tracks: The Canadian Version, aired in 2005 and selected the 50 most essential songs by Canadians.
