Hopefully, you will have seen my top 100 most-played songs by Alt. Entertainments if not it's a list of the most songs played since I started recording such things. This list is the Alternative list (Which is songs I would play at an indie/metal nightclub). This Year I will also do individual indie and metal lists as I don't feel this list gives a feel for what I would play the most as it's tempered by the mobile DJ Side of the business of which I do play pop. Also this year I've decided to add Motown/Northern Soul/Soul/Reggae/Rock'n'Roll & novelty songs (by Alternative standards) to the list as there have been nights where I have played that kind of music. The reason I'm adding it to the list is that I'm doing more strict indie and metal lists.
