Billboard Top 40 Alternative Songs 12-12-2015

If you are new to my Billboard lists I have removed the track numbers from the files and the date from the download folder, and included a playlist that will sort the files in the proper order. I'll continue to do the same and only the new files (playlist and any new songs in the Top 40) will need to be downloaded and this will put an end to all the duplicate files!

As usual I've included a Bonus song, sometimes relevant, sometimes a hit, but always something I like and would play for a friend...

I found a new source to base my charts on and this has doubled the size from 20 tracks to 40!
I will gradually change the album titles as new songs are added to the chart.
I will be leaving the tracks in the current folder (Billboard Top 20 Alternative Songs (2015)) but there will be 40 songs now!
