Chris"s Billboard Top 3000 Countdown Podcast

Christopher Williams

My name is Chris, and this is a fun and informative discussion of Billboard"s Top 3000 songs of all-time, based on rankings from the first Billboard U.S. Hot 100 chart in 1958 until the end of the year 2022. Each episode will have me talking about a set of 20 songs in countdown fashion, Casey Kasem style.
