The Annual All Classical Top 100

The end of the year is an exciting time at All Classical 89.9. It's when our listeners vote for their five favorite works in all of classical music. Then we play the 100 (89 in 2007) pieces that receive the most votes. The countdown starts the morning after Christmas and ends with No. 1 on New Year's Eve.

View the results of the voting for previous years below (there was no list in 2002) or download a printable version. For the statistically minded, our listener Lowell Herr has compiled a spreadsheet that will let you sort the lists, weight the results and view the data in whatever way you like.
