Episode 33 discusses songs #2360-#2341, as we inch closer and closer to the #1 song in Billboard History. Artists featured include:

| Billy Joel
| Elvis Presley
| Phil Collins
| Ace
| All-4-One
| Bon Jovi
| Three Dog Night
| The Jacksons & Mick Jagger (Yes, that song)

Some music chart heavyweights have come to play in Episode #33, first time hits for Billy Joel while the 3rd hit for War! Lots of 70's and 80's tunes, no song after 1998. We have a #1 hit that tells you exactly how long it was number 1 for, we have our special segment on the year 1958 and why it's so underrepresented in the Hot 100.

AND the most amazing coincidence in chart history. At least to me, anyway. And probably to you once you hear it.

And what are the top songs in Billboard history that peaked at #19? Find out in this wonderful, GROOVY set of 20 songs. All with my charming whimsy!
