Several star artists from different eras and genres are throwing their hat into the ring in this power-packed set, some for the first time Like En Vogue, Dan Fogelberg, and surprisingly the only hit to qualify in this countdown for the legendary Pat Boone.  We have consecutive songs give opposite opinions about their "man".  One of the best 90's sports bar/arena tunes with the strange name, and 6 #2 hits including a classic from Madonna's Like a Prayer album.   And two hits where the remakes of those songs charted higher than the original even though all 4 of them made the Top 10!  
Plus a thorough look at the hits from 1971, as we continue our Greatest Years segments.  Can you BELIEVE how many great hits came from that specific span of 12 months?

A milestone edition, as we've now completed 40% of the entire Top 3000 Countdown.  And some milestone hits in this set.  The very first #1 hit of the Hot 100 era, the only #1 hit by one of the greatest rock and roll artists of all time, and it's a novelty song!  A song that hit #1 for 2 weeks but only spent 8 weeks in the entire Top 40.   The first post-Beatle #1 hit for Paul McCartney, and one of the oldest compositions in the entire countdown, was originally recorded in 1896! 
Plus a thorough look at the hits from 1983, one of the greatest years in rock and roll history.  What's your favorite song from that year?

See that impressive list of artists above?  I left out INXS cause everyone is so good!  A panoramic snapshot of the rock era encapsulated in 20 songs as we move toward the greatest hit in Billboard History.  Average peak position is 2.7, which means every hit averaged at least making the top 3.  Stevie Wonder's Innervisions makes an appearance, as well as a SAVAGE rap hit from the 2020's.  The Beach Boys (forgot them too!) with a comeback 70's remake of a 50's classic.  We talk about the greatest hits of Van Halen, and songs that we like to anticipate while listening to countdowns.  And some Eminem.  Cause it feels so empty without him.
