We've started the back 9 of the Podcast Series, and the Final 1500 songs of the Top 3000 countdown and we're bringing out the heavyweights in this set of 20 songs. George Michael and Janet Jackson both scoring with political messages from their follow-up albums to all time smashes. Prince gets a little Sheena help, while Ludacris gets a little Pharrel help, and Jay-Z gets a little Justin Timberlake help. All this help!
Plus one of the key songs that kicked off the disco domination of the 70's, and the greatest song in Billboard History that peaked at #7? What song is it??
In our special segment, we run through all the songs that we've introduced in the early 80's, and how many songs from that popular era we have left to go! And what song do you think is the most universally loved? Our listeners give their opinions.
