    Episode 18 discusses songs #2660-#2641, as we inch closer and closer to the #1 song in Billboard History. Artists featured include:


    | Foreigner
    | Michael Jackson
    | Elvis Presley
    | Ja Rule
    | Ric Astley (No, not that song. A different song.)
    | Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass
    | The Grass Roots
    | The Drifters
    | Elton John

    60's hits galore!! 8 of them to be exact, and a great series of them as well. We see the difference back-to-back, between early 00's rap and late 10's mumble rap, and a special story on the artists that have the most Top 40 hits, with NONE of them making the Top 3000 countdown. The leader has 50 of them!! Some great Casey era hits from the 70's and 80's as well!

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.
