A man A plan A canal Selects Our Records Of The Year – Submit YOURS To Medium Rotation!

This year has been packed with wonderful records by longtime heroes as well as exciting, fresh faces. To celebrate the year of music, Medium Rotation – a collaborative radio community, aimed at bridging the gap between stations, promoters, and record labels, of which A man A plan A canal is a participant – is collecting Top Tens from DJs and music directors around the country.

If you submit a list, which you can do right here, your Top Ten will be featured in a post that goes along with the year-end chart!
