Radio Crystal Blue Top 100 All-Time Artist Countdown show #2
15/07/2025 Duración: 01h14minThis 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 90 through 81. 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 7/15/25Opening theme Ada Rovatti & Elephunk -"Gottcha" For Rent www.adarovatti.com 90: MIEKA PAULEY www.mieka.comI aired "Devil's Got My Secret" from her 2007 album Elijah Drop Your Gun 89: FLO ANITO www.floanito.com I aired "Man Of The Year" from her 2008 album No Dustbunnies 88: CASTLE BLACK www.castleblackmusic.com I aired "Radio Queen"
