In the coming weeks I'm planning some themed radio shows. Brace yourselves for a clatter of songs about painters, a solid hour of cult troubadors and something about space travel. I'm also working at a two hour programme full of songs that feature numerals in the title.

Here's the shorlist, but I could do with some better suggestions, especially for 9 and 13. Whaddya reckon?

1. One – U2
2. It Takes Two – Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell
3. Three Is The Magic Number – Jack Johnson
4. Four To The Floor – Starsailor
5. Five Years- David Bowie
6. Six Underground – Sneaker Pimps
7. The Magnificent Seven – The Clash / 7 Nation Army – White Stripes
8. Eight Days A Week – The Beatles / Dinner At 8 – Rufus Wainwright
9. Nine2Five – Ordinary Boys / Adam Ant – Apollo 9
10. Ten Commandments Of Love – Neville Brothers
11. Eleven O’ Clock Tick Tock – U2
12. Twelve – Forward Russia / 12XU – Wire
13. Thirteen – Cold
14. Fourteen Years – Guns ‘N’ Roses
15. Little 15 – Depeche Mode
16. Sixteen Tons – Ernie Ford
17. At Seventeen – Janis Ian
18. Eighteen With A Bullet – Pete Wingfield
19. 19th Nervous Breakdown – Rolling Stones
20. 20th Century Boy – T Rex
21. No Time To Be 21 – The Adverts / 21 Seconds To Go – So Solid
22. 22 Grand Job – Rakes
23. 23 – Jimmy Eat World / 23 – Blonde Redhead
24. Twenty Four Hours From Tulsa – Gene Pitney
25. Twenty Five Miles –Edwin Starr
