My name is Chris, and this is a fun and informative discussion of Billboard's Top 3000 songs of all-time, based on rankings from the first Billboard U.S. Hot 100 chart in 1958 until the end of the year 2022. Each episode will have me talking about a set of 20 songs in countdown fashion, Casey Kasem style.

    Apr 10 2026

    Episode #56 (Season 2, Episode 6) discusses songs #1900-#1881, as we inch closer and closer to the #1 song in Billboard History. Artists featured include:

    | Howard Jones
    | P!nk
    | Smokey Robinson & the Miracles
    | U2
    | Ray Parker Jr.
    | Kool & The Gang
    | Belinda Carlisle

    Are you a fan of 70's and 80's hits? This is the podcast for you. 12 of the 20 songs in this set are from those fabulous decades, including Howard Jones, U2, Belinda Carlisle AND Ray Parker Jr. all making their debut appearances. And several more in the 90's! We have a song re-released 3 years after its initial chart run and went 53 spots higher! Blasphemy title followed by a heavenly pop hit, back-to-back! One of the best voices of the 80's doing a solo hit that sounds a lot like his band. And the 3rd straight podcast featuring a song from an animated film. You cannot miss this episode. It's delightful!

    | Helen Reddy
    | Justin Bieber
    | Huey Lewis & the News
    | Dion
    | Steppenwolf

    3 is the magic number! A fabulous set across the spectrum of the rock era and 11 of the 20 songs peaked at #3! Helen Reddy, Carly Simon, Bobby Darin all make their debuts. Do you know what Prince's last 10 top hit was? Revealed here. Several female vocalists, some 80's classics and a whole host of vintage 60's hits abound. Another #1 song from an animated movie (just like the last podcast, those folks at Disney!).

    Our special segment is on songs with a city in the title. New York, Chicago, Boston... there's even a song named Houston. And Seattle. We are 1100 songs into the greatest countdown podcast ever!

  • Season 2 - Episode #4 - Songs #1940-#1921
    Mar 26 2026

    Episode #54 (Season 2, Episode 4) discusses songs #1940-#1921, as we inch closer and closer to the #1 song in Billboard History. Artists featured include:

    | Three Dog Night
    | Madonna
    | Lauryn Hill
    | Justin Bieber
    | Fleetwood Mac
    | George Benson
    | Steppenwolf
    | Maroon 5

    Another huge Bridesmaids (peaked at #2) in this set of 20 songs, ranging from the very first year of the Hot 100 era (1958) to the most recent year of this countdown (2022). Modern Pop Hip-Hop mixed with Dance Party Remixes of 80's classics. One of the first Heavy Metal songs ever to chart (and who might have coined the phrase 'Heavy Metal'), and a #1 hit from an animated movie in the era where they reigned supreme. And a very, very lonely number.

    Special segment on the year end countdowns and an ode to the songs that failed to qualify cause their chart runs were split between two years!

    Come be a part of the greatest countdown podcast ever! We have fans in 83 countries and over 1100 cities worldwide. You'll love it in the morning commute!
