Fuse Top 20 Countdown, Fuse Top 40 of the Year, Music, Television
When I’ve posted on VH1’s Top 40 of the Year, I’ve included comments on the side regarding whether or not the rankings of particular songs/videos made sense. With FUSE, there is just too much that does not make sense that it’s just not worth it to even bother with that. This Top 40 is not consistent with how FUSE’s Top 20’s have gone throughout the year, so it feels useless to attempt to correct it. (That lack of consistency must be due to the fact that this list was determined by fan voting … which makes the fact that Xtina ended up Number One even more inexplicable.) But I will include some comments to indicate something about how I feel about the song placement.
