Radio Crystal Blue Top 100 All-Time Artist Countdown This special countdown covers the top 100 artists ranked by annual chart placement, covering the years 2003 to 2024. Artists are ranked by their entire body of work, not 1 song or one album. I actually ranked a total of 211 artists, but I keep it to the top 100 for sake of the countdown. Here's numbers 80 through 71. For each artist I picked one song that seemed to be best representative of their work, or otherwise their most popular. I am counting down these artists, 10 a time until we reach 10-1. Download/stream/share this show, in the same RSS feed as my standard podcast.
