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.

If you are a fan of the Casey era songs from 1970-1988, you've hit the jackpot with this podcast! 13 of the 20 songs in this set are from those 2 decades, including 4 of the most famous 80's 1-hit wonders (one of which didn't hit the top 10 until the 2020's!!!). Some wonderful modern dance tracks by Flo Rida and Major Lazer, and a 1974 sweet sensual hit that a critic claimed caused more pregnancies than any other song that year.
We have also reached the very first #1 song of the 80's on this countdown, after 1360 hits without getting to one yet! And it's by the man who has 9 number one songs in that decade. We spend our special segment talking about 80's number 1 hits. What's your favorite?
