The Greatest Countdown Podcast ever continues as we dip into the 2100's for the first time. 2 great songs that started out as 50's-60's classics and then were remade into 80's Top 10 hits, one song from each side of the timeline! The Stones are back with a bit of a chart oddity; Mariah Carey is back with a hit that charted between the great SoundScan dividing line of December 1991 (The biggest dividing line in Billboard History). Another wonderful instrumental, our 6th one in the last 3 podcasts, all of them classics. And 8 Casey-era songs from the 70's and 80's, including the first hit on the countdown from John Cougar Mellencamp. And what were the greatest songs that peaked at #16? Such a wonderful, fascinating journey of the greatest hits in Billboard History. Wanna hitch a ride?
I am in no way affiliated with Billboard or with American Top 40. I'm just a huge fan that loves to talk about pop music. I hope you enjoy.
