Radio Crystal Blue 11/22/25


“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…”

Radio Crystal Blue Top 100 All-Time Artist Countdown (#40-31)


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 40 through 31. 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.
This portion of the countdown was published 9/12/25
