We've been having fun exploring songs that have the same title this week - both with our Monday Coffee Break and our Tuesday music trivia.

Yesterday, two callers were neck and neck as Sean McPherson took them into this nail-biting tiebreaker: "How many songs have charted since 1954 on the Billboard Hot 100 with the title 'Hold On'?"

So for today's 9:30 Coffee Break, what songs do you want to hear that are called "Hold On"?

Respond with your song ideas in the comments below.
