Chris's Billboard Top 3000 Countdown Podcast

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.

Hi Chris - I just discovered your Billboard Top 3000 podcast, and I’ve listened to the first couple of episodes already. I love it! I’m very into both music and lists, so your podcast fits nicely with my interests. Can’t wait to listen to all the episodes! One quick question: you mention in your podcast that the full versions of the songs on your list are available in an Apple Music playlist. But I have not been able to find this playlist. Is the link posted on the podcast’s Facebook page, or is it available somewhere else? Thanks for all the hard work and effort you put into producing this podcast. Please know that it is appreciated!
