Chris's Billboard Top 3000 Countdown Podcast
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.

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!
