I've introduced this with albums, but what about songs?

Triple J's Hottest 100 poll has been running since 1989 but it was only in 1993 that the poll changed from all-time to a year poll. Results of JJJ's polls:

93: Dennis Leary - Asshole
94: The Cranberris - Zombie
95: Oasis - Wonderwall
96: Spiderbait - Buy Me A Pony
97: The Whitlams - No Aphrodisiac
98: The Offspring - Pretty Fly (For A White Guy)
99: Powderfinger - These Days
00: Powderfinger - My Happiness
01: Alex Lloyd - Amazing
02: QOTSA - No One Knows
03: Jet - Are You Gonna Be My Girl?
04: Franz Ferdinand - Take Me Out
05: Bernard Fanning - Wish You Well
06: Augie March - One Crowded Hour
07: Muse - Knights Of Cydonia
08: Kings Of Leon - Sex On Fire
09: Mumford & Sons - Little Lion Man
10: Angus & Julia Stone - Big Jet Plane
11: Gotye feat. Kimbra - Somebody That I Used To Know

Many of these I would probably disagree with (list will be in a few posts) but curious:

What would your number ones be for each year of your life?

Does it have to be songs that were released as singles? Or are songs from albums from a particular year ok as well?

With 41 years to trawl through - this might take me some time!!! Confused

Any song; unless the restriction of singles only makes it easier...?
