Episode 43 discusses songs #2160-#2141, as we inch closer and closer to the #1 song in Billboard History.  Artists featured include:

| Rod Stewart
| James Brown
| Avril Levigne
| Michael Jackson
| The Beatles
| Doja Cat
| Andy Gibb
| Salt-N-Pepa

The greatest countdown podcast in history adds another chapter as we move toward the end of the first 1000 songs, an eclectic mix in this set as we follow-up dance pop with 50's Cuban instrumental big band and then 2000's alternative followed by 80's love ballads, then 60's bubblegum classics (quite literally), THEN 2020's rap!   What a rollercoaster ride, eh?  Then to cleanse the palette we add the Beatles, Michael Jackson and Rod Stewart, and the first song in this countdown by the hardest working man in show business.  

Plus a special segment on the holiday year end countdowns, and amazing luck of the month of December in #1 hits.  Please come join the ride, you'll love it!


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.
