It’s almost time to count down your favorite songs of the year, but first, YOU NEED TO VOTE FOR YOUR FAVORITES!!!

Maybe you were over the moon for Mumford and Sons, excited for Elbow, or super stoked for new music from Samia. Make your voice heard by voting for your favorites and then see if they make The Current’s Top 89 Countdown on New Year’s Eve.

When you vote, you’ll even be entered to win a Blue Ox Music Festival 2026 Prize Pack. That includes a pair of General Admission festival passes WITH A CAR CAMPING PASS for the June festival in Eau Claire, Wisconsin.

Let’s start brainstorming by creating a playlist of just some of the songs you loved this year.

So for today’s 9:30 Coffee Break, what favorite songs from the year would you like to hear?
