Happy Sunday EQs!<\/p>\n

So after taking a little bit of a break with The EQ Tastemaker Chart, I'm happy to announce that it's returning as of today.  I often get asked "How is the chart compiled?"<\/em> and I usually respond with a cheeky answer like "It's a very complicated mathematical process!"<\/em> or "Ancient Chinese secret!"<\/em>…but truth be known, it's actually my list of the top 50 songs that rock my iPod, right now.  It's a look into the future of what you should be listening to and recognition of the current songs that are a great representation of pop and electronic music.<\/p>\n

Everytime I skip a week, I usually get about 10 emails saying "Where's the chart?"<\/em>…I wasn't entirely sure how the EQ Chart was going to fit into the new redesign, but I've decided it's going to be a regular Sunday weekly blog post that will be archived so you can always go back and see how it's evolving.<\/p>\n

So without further ado, here's the Top 50 EQ Songs – week ending, September 20th 2009.  And after a full month of Temposhark<\/em> ruling EQ's top spot, they have been lovingly bumped by the brilliance that is Blake Lewis<\/em>, with Addictive, Imogen Heap, Medina<\/em> and Tecnoctitlan<\/em> chomping at his heels…<\/p>\n
