CROSSROAD RADIO'S NEW YEAR'S WEEKEND! You can win things :)
Posted by WBFJ | | Posted on 9:34 PM
This year both Crossroad Radio and Crossroad Light will help you ring in the new year in style.
First, XR counts down the top 20 songs from that show on Friday, Dec. 30th on the annual "Best Of (insert the year '2011' here) show. Starting at 10pm ET/ 7pm PT, I'll be giving out my yearly (funny and made of aluminum foil) awards to some of our bands and songs (that didn't quite make the cut) before launching into the best that Christian modern rock & hip-hop had to offer in 2011. If you can correctly guess the #1 song of the year by posting it here or calling me at 336-777-1893 during the show, you'll get a chance to win a prize pack from the band (there's the only hint you're getting) whose song is at the top spot. Trust me, you want it.
Then on Saturday, New Year's Eve (that's Dec. 31st for the uninformed), Crossroad Light goes live from 8pm all the way 'til midnight to usher in 2012. That's right, 4 hours of sweet goodness for your ears, culminating with, for the very first time, XR Light's very own "Best Of (again, insert the year '2011' here). You'll hear the top 20 songs from that show with the #1 song to be revealed on the cusp of the New Year at the stroke of midnight. As with XR the night before, if you correctly guess the song that sits at that spot, you'll be entered for a chance to win a prize pack from the band that brought it to you.
Here's the deal though. If you win on Friday, you can't win again on Saturday. I have to pull your name out of the hat and share the love with others. You know how I roll.
So now it's up to you. Have you been listening faithfully to your 2 favorite shows? Think you know which 2 songs are taking the top spots? Let the guessing begin...

Here's to an excellent year of the best in Christian rock, rap, and everything in between, as well as an even better year to come!
-Justin
Hey Justin, I have to moderate the comments before publishing. I was away from it for a couple of days but I should have all of your guesses posted now.
Thanks again for your enthusiasm and support for the show! You're an awesome guy.
Likewise, Dave. The show is truly a blessing!
I Will Lift My Eyes - Bebo Norman
To my wife - if this was Family Feud, you'd have 2 big Xs by now with the annoying buzzer noise to go along with them.
Try again - without Bebo Norman.
Congratulations, Justin!
Ah, amazing. Dark Horses was the popular vote. It looks like everyone was on the same page there. The best way to end a year is with some good Crossroad. I'll be listening to XR light tonight as well...
cheers
Justin, I've also put Ilia and Red CDs in your prize pack which is at the station waiting for you.
