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.

Pop music in all its different forms is here in our latest and greatest episode as we move 20 songs closer to #1. We have singing vocals, rap vocals, spoken vocals and even no vocals at all! We have a sample of a sample of one of the greatest alternative riffs in the rock era. Find out which one! Creedence with ANOTHER of their agonizing #2 hits, as they could never quite hit #1. And Linda Ronstadt belting one of her best songs ever, a #1 hit. And ANOTHER remake that out-charted its original, even though the original hit Top 5.
Our discovery into the years of rock and roll lands on the year 1994, as we continue our Greatest Years segments. Where pop music starts becoming more segmented but with super smash hits that are breaking records at the top of the charts.
