Yes, yes, I know it’s not even Hallowe’en yet, let alone Bonfire Night.
But the fact remains that it’s only FIVE weeks until the start of this year’s Christmas Countdown.
In case, you’ve missed what we’ve been doing on Bradford Beat every December for the last few years, that’s our choice of the best 20 tracks of the year.
This year, we want to make it as democratic as possible by asking listeners to submit suggestions for their favourite songs of 2010.
So here’s your chance – among the most frequently-played albums on Beadford Beat have been The National and Arcade Fire.
Let us know what you’d like to see included in the Christmas Countdown – either add a comment here or send an email to simon.ashberry@bcbradio.co.uk
This year’s Top 20 will be broadcast over four weeks from December 2 to 23.
