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.”

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.

I'm following it. Up to 'Comfortably Numb' at two hundred and eight something.

 

Edit 281!

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.

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

Lol at the Mobb Deep song

Pixies at 259 :cheer: (ABBA at 260 excellent too)

Only tuned in about 10 minutes ago, don't recognise that Ice Cube song

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.

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)

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

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.
