Posted October 20, 20222 yr https://radiotoday.co.uk/2022/10/mark-goodi...est-hits-radio/ Mark Goodier to host a classic countdown on Greatest Hits Radio Greatest Hits Radio is counting down The UK’s Official Top 300 Most Streamed Songs from the 70s 80s and 90s all next week with Mark Goodier. The station, working with the Official Charts Company, has compiled the 300 songs that hit the chart at the time of their release and are still finding new listeners and fans in 2022. The countdown will commence on Monday 24th October, on Mark Goodier’s morning show from 10am. Mark said: ‘I cannot wait to kick off the UK’s Official Top 300 Most Streamed Songs of the 70s, 80s and 90s – there are some absolute classics in this chart as well as a few more unexpected tunes. “I’ve spent many hours of my career hosting countdowns but this one even threw up a few surprises for me! “What’s wonderful is that so many of these iconic hits are the soundtrack of our lives yet feel just as current now as they’re reinvented for films, TV shows and social media. It’s a fascinating insight into not only what were the greatest hits then but what are the greatest hits now.”
October 20, 20222 yr Ooh this does sound really interesting. Would be good if they gave some figures too.
October 20, 20222 yr This sounds interesting especially to see what oldies that you wouldn't expect to have made it into a top 300 streamed songs chart too. Edited October 20, 20222 yr by The Robageist
October 24, 20222 yr I'm following it. Up to 'Comfortably Numb' at two hundred and eight something. Edit 281! Edited October 24, 20222 yr by The Robageist
October 24, 20222 yr I've also done a list but added year and peak - will be interesting to see the split by decade and highest position.

October 24, 20222 yr A #30 peaking Clash song :o (oh originally, didnt realise it re charted for some reason.. even still a #15 peaker) not heard this very much before I don't think. Also didn't think that Lion King song actually charted so glad to see I was correct in my assumption there. Edited October 24, 20222 yr by The Robageist
October 24, 20222 yr of course for one of the rare occasions they got to a song I'd never heard, they ended up skipping it lol (shook ones part 2), as for the other song I hadn't heard (wonderful tonight) they may as well have skipped that instead as that sounded very boring
October 24, 20222 yr Lol at the Mobb Deep song 280 Rupert Holmes – Escape (The Pina Colada Song) #23 1980 279 Led Zeppelin – Immigrant Song N/A 1970 278 The Clash – Rock The Casbah #30 1982 / #15 1991 277 Randy Newman – You’ve Got A Friend In Me N/A 1996 276 Derek And The Dominos – Layla #7 1972 275 Meat Loaf – I’d Do Anything For Love (But I Won’t Do That) #1 1993 274 Philip Bailey and Phil Collins – Easy Lover #1 1985 273 Madness – It Must Be Love #4 1981 272 Rod Stewart – Maggie May #1 1971 271 Mobb Deep – Shook Ones (Part II) N/A 1995 270 Ice Cube – It Was A Good Day #27 1993 269 Eric Clapton – Wonderful Tonight #30 1991 268 Fleetwood Mac – Don’t Stop #32 1977 267 No Doubt – Don’t Speak #1 1997 266 James – Laid #25 1993 265 Black Sabbath – Paranoid #4 1970 264 Deep Blue Something – Breakfast At Tiffany’s #1 1996 263 TLC – Waterfalls #4 1995 262 Aqua – Barbie Girl #1 1997 261 Bob Marley – Jammin’ #9 1978
October 24, 20222 yr Aqua in amongst these 💀 it's a big 90's guilty pleasure classic hit but sticks out among some of these lol. Edited October 24, 20222 yr by The Robageist
October 24, 20222 yr Pixies at 259 :cheer: (ABBA at 260 excellent too) Only tuned in about 10 minutes ago, don't recognise that Ice Cube song
October 24, 20222 yr So I've worked out they'll be playing 60 songs per day of this. Omg awkwardly became aware of the Pixie's song due a wrestler using as his theme song (old one now as he's switched it). Good song nonetheless. Edited October 24, 20222 yr by The Robageist
October 24, 20222 yr When he said 256 was from the greatest dance hits of 1999, I was expecting Eiffel 65 or something :lol: yes tune indeed (Belinda Carlisle at 257, Celine - MHWGO at 255)
October 24, 20222 yr Stevie - Sir Duke at 251, nice (and follows on from hearing I Wish in yesterday's albums session) 254 was Commodores - Easy, 253 Queen - YMBF, 252 Sinead O'Connor Edited October 24, 20222 yr by jimwatts
October 24, 20222 yr You'd have thought 'Danger Zone' would be a bit higher. 'Bridge Over Troubled Water' is beautiful of course.
October 24, 20222 yr What is Ed Sheeran's Bad Habits doing in this countdown :kink: 20th century songs only, but still can't get away from Jess Glynne's Hold My Hand thanks to a Jet2 advert.
