300th episode!
It's my 300th episode! To celebrate, I made a spreadsheet!! That was really fun, thank you for the opportunity to make spreadsheets, now here's a normal episode.
JUST KIDDING i added up all the songs I played and am counting down the artists I played the most in my first 299 episodes! And playing the song (or one of the songs) I played the most by them. and talking about dorky statistics and trends. ROCK N ROLL.

some notes for my fellow nerds:
- i didn't include tribute shows to single artists (i have done ones for chumbawamba, the monkees/mike nesmith and the ramones)
- themed shows only so no transistor sister
- i added comparisons to rankings from the last time i did this (my 100th episode in 2017) but i only have a record of my top 43 songs from that.
- i am pretty sure i fucked things up so the numbers aren't 100% accurate SO BE IT
