The Countdown Showdown, mixed by yours truly, DaUnknownAdmin, brings you the 10 Top Freestyle Songs of 2026 [Q1]. As The Countdown Showdown celebrates its 7th year, I want to send out super shout-outs to everyone who has clicked, listened, and shared!

Back flip with a split for the deejays who voted on The Countdown Showdown polls and have made guest appearances, such as TST The Santana Twins, DJ Xtacy, and Danny G Stylz; collaborations with other Countdowns, including DJ Racer and MDW. Proof that Countdowns can have friendly competition and cooperation, without all the silly drama.

A heartfelt thank you to all the support from the internet and terrestrial radio stations, websites, podcasts, etc, over the years, too many to post, but I APPRECIATE ALL OF YOU!

Special thanks to Mikie Cubby, aka DJ Papa C, who has carefully cataloged each release over the years, and to the Only Countdown That Matters, CPR Jose Ortiz, for his blessing and encouragement. And finally, all the labels, producers, and artists that continue to create the music we all love. Without further ado, here are my favorite songs for the first quarter of 2026.
