21st Century tunes take a lot of spotlight in Episode 23, where 4 of the most influential artists this century make their first entry into this countdown. Lots of 70's and 80's tunes as well, including a song that fell to #40 and stayed there a second week, perhaps for a dubious reason?

2 #1 hits in this set! And special sections... on how many peak positions remain in this countdown, and about the number Sixteen and Seventeen in the titles of all the songs ever to hit the Top 40. A ton of great chart tidbits await you!

HEAVY concentration of 80's in this set, 9 total! We have arguably the best pop band of the 21st Century hitting the countdown for the first time. A whole mess of songs with a chart peak position of #5, and a little note about peak positions at this point in the countdown. And a special segment on Heavy Metal Ballads, do you remember that time when they dominated the MTV airwaves and pop charts? Man, I do. Lots of 1 hit wonders in this set as well! This will be fun, come take a listen!
