    So really, that's like a 10 of their own (only 3 artists on my top 10 ...er.. top 13 songs that were already on my top artist list?)

    Now all I need is some hokey statues to give out, a red carpet for everyone to get dirty, and a microphone so everyone can feel like they're really talking to people when they thank all the little people involved in winning this prestigious award.. :P
