Because it's been almost two years since I filled this out...I thought it would be fun to see how this has changed.

1. How did you get into 29? (Martina Sorbara)
My friend Christina loved her first. She has excellent taste in music, so I looked her up.

2. What was the first song you ever heard by 22? (Clay Aiken)
Haha...umm...I guess something he sang on American Idol? I don't remember whether I watched the auditions that season or picked up the show later.

3. What's your favorite lyric by 33? (Chris Isaak)
No idea. I don't really pay attention to his lyrics...more his music and his voice.

4. What is your favorite album by 49? (Spice Girls)
Haha, I guess I prefer Spice World?

5. How many albums by 13 do you own? (Mariah Carey)
Five.

6. What is your favorite song by 50? (Billy Joel)
First, how is Billy only #50?! That's disturbing. I love so many of his songs (so many!!), but if I have to pick just one, I always go with The Longest Time. I was so disappointed that he didn't sing it at Wrigley Field last summer.

7. Is there a song by 39 that makes you sad? (Sarah McLachlan)
Mm, yes. Wintersong. It's such a beautiful type of sad, though.

8. What is your favorite song by 15? (Andrea Bocelli)
Vivo Per Lei (con Giorgia), unless it's Olympic time. Then it's Because We Believe.

9. What is your favorite song by 5? (Vienna Teng)
Harbor, Whatever You Want, Antebellum.

10. Is there a song by 6 that makes you happy? (The Beatles)
There are probably a hundred. I mean, really, does their discography ever end? All You Need Is Love would be the most obvious.

11. What is your favorite album by 40? (Shania Twain)
Come On Over. Seriously, weren't the majority of the songs on that album released to great success?

12. What is your favorite song by 10? (Jack Johnson)
Better Together!

13. What is a good memory you have involving 30? (Laura Pausini)
I discovered her through a fantastic lady that I used to work for. She passed away a few years ago, but listening to Laura always makes me think of her.

14. What is your favorite song by 38? (Michael Jackson)
Don't Stop Til You Get Enough. I think.

15. Is there a song by 19 that makes you happy? (Backstreet Boys)
BSB makes me so nostalgic. Specifically, I guess I'll go with As Long as You Love Me

16. How many times have you seen 25 live? (Madonna)
None. I'm sure that would be a great show, though!

17. What is the first song you ever heard by 23? (Destiny's Child)
I don't know what the first song I heard would have been, but the first one that I liked was probably Bills, Bills, Bills.

18. What is your favorite album by 11? (John Mayer)
Continuum! Easily.

19. What is your favorite song by 1? (Emm Gryner)
So far, this is the only ranking that hasn't changed since the last time I did this survey, and the answer hasn't changed either. My favourite Emm song is still Blackwinged Bird

20. Have you ever seen 14 live? (Rascal Flatts)
No! I would love to, but I don't have any local friends who like them.

21. What is a good memory involving 27? (Rachael Yamagata)
Her songs make me think of many fabulous road trips with Jules.

22. What is your favorite song by 16? (Sara Bareilles)
Gravity. So. Incredible.

23. What is the first song you ever heard by 47? (Astor Piazzolla)
I have no idea. Since I'm a skating fan, Libertango is a safe bet!

24. What is your favorite album by 18? (Diana Krall)
The Girl In The Other Room

25. What is your favorite song by 21? (Regina Spektor)
Hotel Song or Samson

26. What is the first song you ever heard by 26? (Alicia Keys)
I'm sure it was Fallin'

27. What is your favorite album by 3? (Chantal Kreviazuk)
Here's another one that hasn't changed! But the answer might...the verdict is still out. What If It All Means Something has been my favourite, but her new one, Plain Jane is gaining ground. We'll see.

28. What is you favorite song by 2? (Céline Dion)
Céline is still #2. And S'il Suffisait D'Aimer is still my favourite. Although there are SO MANY.

29. What was the first song you ever heard by 32? (Sarah Slean)
My Invitation, and I didn't really like it, so I didn't listen to her for a long time. I'm still not crazy about that song, but I do love her.

30. What is you favorite song by 8? (Kelly Clarkson)
I can't believe she's ranked so high, first of all. I don't feel like I listen to her that often. Maybe because it takes me so many listens to decide whether or not I like her songs, haha. I guess my favourite is Since U Been Gone. Does that make me shallow?

31. How many times have you seen 17 live? (Keith Urban)
I haven't.

32. Is there a song by 44 that makes you happy? (Chicago)
Just You 'N' Me

I definitely haven't heard all their albums, but I have The Days in Between and I like it.

37. How many times have you seen 42 live? (U2)
I haven't ever, although I'm sure it's a great show. I'm not sure I would shell out the cash for it, though.

38. What is your favorite song by 36? (Bryan Adams)
Seriously? Obviously Summer Of '69

39. What was the first song you ever heard by 28? (Jamie Cullum)
I'm going to go with These Are The Days, because that's the first track on Twentysomething. I was with a friend when she bought it and we listened to it on the way home from Windsor.
