Are you a fan of 70's and 80's hits?  This is the podcast for you.  12 of the 20 songs in this set are from those fabulous decades, including Howard Jones, U2, Belinda Carlisle AND Ray Parker Jr. all making their debut appearances.  And several more in the 90's!  We have a song re-released 3 years after its initial chart run and went 53 spots higher!  Blasphemy title followed by a heavenly pop hit, back-to-back! One of the best voices of the 80's doing a solo hit that sounds a lot like his band.  And the 3rd straight podcast featuring a song from an animated film.  You cannot miss this episode.  It's delightful!

Another huge Bridesmaids (peaked at #2) in this set of 20 songs, ranging from the very first year of the Hot 100 era (1958) to the most recent year of this countdown (2022).  Modern Pop Hip-Hop mixed with Dance Party Remixes of 80's classics.  One of the first Heavy Metal songs ever to chart (and who might have coined the phrase 'Heavy Metal'), and a #1 hit from an animated movie in the era where they reigned supreme.  And a very, very lonely number.
Special segment on the year end countdowns and an ode to the songs that failed to qualify cause their chart runs were split between two years!
