Disclaimer: This list may not reflect actual amount of air play that a song gets, the amount of sales that a song generates, or by the ratings given by other organizations.

This list is being composed from my experience of being a D.J. for a cajun radio show for 10 years. As a Cajun who has followed the music from my teenage years, I hope that this will provide newcomers to the Cajun and Zydeco scene with a starting point for searching out recordings.

Guidelines: Below you will find two top 40 Cajun CD's lists.
1) (Top 40 Modern CD list)
The first list is the top CD's that popular for the average person that may be more of a modern sound.
2) (Top 40 Historical Cajun CD list)
The second list is the top CD's that are popular with the persons seeking out the historical legendary traditional recordings that may be a little too "raw" for those who are new to Cajun Music.

Both of these lists are solely the opinions of Clarence the Cajun DJ and webmaster of www.cajunradio.org
