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.
