Radio Crystal Blue All-Time Artist Countdown (10-1)


This special countdown miniseries 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 10 through 1. For each artist I picked one song that seemed to be best representative of their work, or otherwise their most popular.
Download/stream/share this show, in the same RSS feed as my standard podcast.
This portion of the countdown was published 11/27/25

“May your hope always outweigh your doubt
Until this old world finally punches you out
May you always play your music
Loud enough to wake up all of your neighbors
Or may you play at least loud enough
To always wake yourself up…”
