  • 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 #16 - Songs #2700-#2681

    Leave me fan mail message! I welcome all feedback!

    Episode 16 discusses songs #2700-#2681, as we inch closer and closer to the #1 song in Billboard History. Artists featured include:

    | Elvis Presley
    | Shirley Shirley Bo Birley, Banana Fanna Fo Firley, Fee Fi Mo Mirley, Shirley Ellis
    | Bobby Brown
    | Marvin Gaye
    | Madonna
    | The Police
    | Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass
    | Melissa Manchester

    Another song that went all the way to #1 in this set. FINALLY, a song from 1983! Elvis Presley makes his long-awaited debut in this countdown, as does Marvin Gaye. Our search for the best #9 songs continues in this set. A song that defines the 90's post-grunge (or does it?), and the Australian act that beat out Bing Crosby's White Christmas for most weeks at #1 in the Down Under charts.

    I am not affiliated with Billboard or with Casey Kasem's American Top 40. I'm just a huge fan who loves talking about music and the pop charts. I hope you enjoy.

    Lots of special guest stars. Another song that went all the way to #1 as well as a pair of #2 hits. One of the most polarizing songs of the rock era, that darn melting cake. Some crunk music in the early 2000's, and a commentary on the changing times of the Billboard Hot 100. Take a listen, I know you'll enjoy!
