Simple really. Think of songs with numbers in the title. I think getting 1-10 filled should be possible, but I wonder how far it could go.

1
One - U2

99
99 Red Balloons (German title?)

Funny I could think of many more when I thought of this on the train. I'll get back to it.
 
Song Number 2 (Blur)
Song Number One (Fugazi)
106 Beats That (Wire)
19th Nervous Breakdown (Rolling Stones)
Star 69 (Fatboy Slim)
King Kill 33 (Marilyn Manson)
Count to 6 and Die (Marilyn Manson)
Secret 77 (Bad Brains)
Sixteen (Buzzcocks)
Revolution #9 (The Beatles)\
1979 (Smashing Pumpkins)
 
German title is 99 Luftballoons


One is the Loneliest Number

Sixteen Candles

867-5309 (Jenny)

5/4, and 19-2000 (Gorillaz tunes)

9 till 5

20-Cent Goodbye

99 Ways to Die



That's all I can think of now.

Oh *Hell* no. I know someone didn't forget to mention:

Kraftwerk -- "Numbers"
I didn't include songs with the word "number" in the title on purpose. If I had...well, geez, "The Number Song" by DJ Shadow would have to be at the top of the list.
