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.

Episode #55 (Season 2, Episode 5) discusses songs #1920-#1901, as we inch closer and closer to the #1 song in Billboard History. Artists featured include:
| Prince
| 50 Cent
| Helen Reddy
| Justin Bieber
| Huey Lewis & the News
| Dion
| Steppenwolf
| Bobby Darin
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!
