A bridesmaid's podcast!  8 of the 20 songs in this set reached a peak position of #2!   Of course we've got some good #1 songs as well, including one of the most significant #1 hits of the entire rock era, and all because of timing.   Pitbull makes his countdown debut, as does Imagine Dragons.  Some movie themes in there, one a disco smash and another where it's titled as a movie theme but never even made it onto the soundtrack album!  And Stevie.  Cause he's awesome.
