25 years ago, I listened to my first Casey's Top 40, got my first CD, and started following charts and thus began my love of music.
In 1995, I started my first chart based on CDs and cassettes I owned at the time called Michael's Top 40. That chart still continues today. It didn't occur to me to make a chart based on songs I liked until a few years later when I stumbled upon my first music forum (where I first met Bill!) and saw others made personal charts so that's when The Max chart was born - without the restriction of me having to own the songs. Since then, both charts served different purposes but correlated pretty well. I consider my MT40 chart my CHR/Pop chart and my The Max 100 (now ShufflePlay 100) to be my Hot 100.
Last year, to celebrate 20 years of The Max/ShufflePlay 100, I compiled an all-time chart with the intention of posting it. Unfortunately, I lost the first year of charts so it wasn't complete and I ended up not sharing that chart. This year, to celebrate 25 years of music fandom, I'm going to share that chart (albeit updated to the present). My Top 100 songs of all-time based on The Max 100, going back to 1999. I also plan to keep this chart relatively updated (similarly to how Billboard updates its all-time chart annually).
Additionally, I've created an all-time artist chart that incorporates The Max/ShufflePlay 100, MT40 and my album chart (which has existed in one form or another since 2000). Together, these three will contribute points to determine which artist has had the greatest impact across all of my charts!
So.... let's let the countdowns begin!

I'll post both charts concurrently but one batch at a time. I'll start with the first ten songs of the Top 100 of The Max/ShufflePlay 100:
100. Fall To Pieces - Avril Lavigne (#1 - 10 weeks) Fall To Pieces was the sixth track to chart from Avril's second album, and fourth to hit #1. It was #1 when The Max 100 went on a 5-month hiatus but several years back I filled in that gap so officially, Fall To Pieces accumulated 10 weeks on top. It stayed on the chart for 42 weeks.
99. Beautiful - Christina Aguilera (#1 - 1 week) Christina's Beautiful came at a time when the Britney vs. Christina competition/comparison was finally beginning to wind down. At the time, Christina was winning as Beautiful became her fourth #1 single on The Max 100. It reached the top for a single week.
98. Set Fire To The Rain - Adele (#9) Set Fire To The Rain first entered The Max 100 shortly after the release of 21, before it became a single officially in North America. One it became a single officially, its chart life was extended. While it only peaked at #9 and spent 4 weeks in the Top 10, it hung around the Top 40 for 30 weeks and lasted on the Top 100 for 41 weeks total.
97. Pick Up The Phone - Dragonette (#2) Pick Up The Phone spent 7 of its 19 weeks in the Top 10 at #2, all of them behind Lady Gaga's monster hit Bad Romance.
96. Other Side Of The World - KT Tunstall (#1 - 3 weeks) KT Tunstall had one of the biggest debut albums in The Max chart history, giving four #1 singles - all of which make the Top 100 of All-Time list. This was the fourth, spending 3 weeks on top in 2006. Other Side Of The World benefitted from having a lengthy chart run at 42 weeks, which also helped extend KT's debut album era to nearly two full years.
95. Mary - Sarah Slean (#4) Sarah Slean became a staple on my other charts but her impact on The Max is relatively minimal due to her not being primarily a singles artist. Her most prolific album for singles was 2004's Day One, which gave her four - all of which made the Top 5. Mary was third from the album, peaking for a week at #4, but its lifespan on the chart lasted 47 weeks.
94. I Am Aglow - Sarah Harmer (#4) Like Slean, Harmer gathered more points from my other two charts but the few singles she did have made their impact on The Max 100. I Am Aglow was from her 2005 bluegrass album I'm A Mountain and lasted nearly a year on the chart at 49 weeks.
93. Bend - Ria Mae (#1 - 2 weeks) Bend is the newest song in this batch, having hit #1 in 2017. Ria's breakthrough self-titled album gave her a string of five Top 10 songs but it was the lead single from her followup EP My Love that gave her her first #1. It's also her biggest hit so far.
92. Alejandro - Lady Gaga (#2) Gaga places six songs in the All-Time Top 100, which is just a portion of her total number of chart-toppers. Alejandro isn't one of those #1s but its #2 peak shouldn't be an indicator that it wasn't strong enough. Its five weeks at #2 were all behind its predecessor Telephone, which was in the midst of a lengthy run at the top. For those five weeks, Gaga held the Top 2 positions, something she would do several more times over the course of her career.
91. This Love - Maroon 5 (#1 - 1 week) This Love was Maroon 5's second hit, but it helped them breakthrough and made them a household name. It hit #1 during an active chart period in early 2004, spending just a single week there, but it would remain on the Top 100 for 45 weeks.

Some artists received more weight and points from one, depending on whether they were primarily singles-artists or if they had a heavy album-component. The years active represents the start and end (if applicable) of when they were actively releasing or charting singles on either of my songs charts (from 1994-onward)

I didn't forget. Life got in the way. And no one commented or liked so as far as I know, nobody even looked in here. But here's the next group of songs from all-time!
#90. Best Days - Lissie (#1 - 6 weeks) This was Lissie's third #1 hit (I believe) on my chart and while it came nearly a decade after her first chart appearance, it wound up being her biggest hit for me.
#89. Party Of One - Brandi Carlile (#1 - 7 weeks) Party Of One might be the newest song in the entire all-time Top 100 as it hit #1 in early 2019. The song originally entered my chart in early 2018 following the release of the album but when it was announced as a single in late 2018 (first as a new version with Sam Smith, then as a solo single with music video) and following Brandi's Grammy nominations, the song got the push it needed to top my chart. It isn't Brandi's biggest hit though.
#88. Breathe (2 AM) - Anna Nalick (#3) Anna Nalick remains mainly a one-album-wonder where her debut album Wreck Of The Day had a string of top 10 hits. Since then, she made my chart with one other hit a few years later and that was it. But her impact was big enough in 2005 that she places two songs in the all-time Top 100. The first is this song, which lasted 48 weeks on the chart, peaking at #3 for a single week.
#87. Burning Down The House - Tom Jones & The Cardigans (#5) Tom Jones is probably the most unlikely name on any all-time chart I might ever make but in 2000, he made a brief comeback with a duets album, featuring this song with the Cardigans. The song mostly benefitted from a lengthy chart run, where it spent 41 weeks in the Top 100, 30 of those in the Top 40 and 12 in the Top 10, peaking at #5.
#86. Joining You - Alanis Morissette (#1 - 5 weeks) One of the biggest album eras in my charts' history is Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie by Alanis Morissette. It was the long-awaited followup to Jagged Little Pill so every moment from the era that could be captured by a chart was captured on my chart as four of the singles reached #1. Joining You spent 5 weeks on top and 31 weeks in the Top 40.
#85. Curbside Prophet - Jason Mraz (#1 - 3 weeks) Jason Mraz had one of the biggest debut eras in my charts' history where his first album gave him three big #1s. Curbside Prophet was the album's third single, spending a trio of weeks on top but it had the added benefit of spending nearly a year on - 49 weeks in total.
#84. Far Away - Chantal Kreviazuk (#1 - 5 weeks) It's just coincidence that Chantal Kreviazuk also had one of the biggest album eras for me. I might even say that Colour Moving And Still was the biggest era for me until perhaps Born This Way - and even then, it might be a battle. Far Away was the album's fourth and final single, and while its release came over a year after the album's release, it still had enough impact to blast to #1 and spend 19 weeks in the Top 10. Chantal was on a high during this time so anything she touched burned up my charts. This song was no different.
#83. Mr. Know It All - Kelly Clarkson (#1 - 3 weeks) I do believe this song was Kelly's first #1 on my chart, and while I don't consider it my favourite from her, it did make quite an impact on my chart, debuting at #5, spending 3 weeks at #1 and 15 weeks in the Top 10.
#82. Gotta Tell You - Samantha Mumba (#1 - 4 weeks) Samantha had a golden sound to her brand of pop music and it all started with this song, her debut single, one of the biggest hits of 2000 with enough overall points to land it on my all-time chart.
#81. No Love - Eminem f/Lil'Wayne (#1 - 5 weeks) When people think of Eminem's hits, they might think of hit early 2000s singles, and for good reason I'm sure. And he's had a relatively constant presence on my chart since that time as well, but his biggest point for me might have been the 1-2 hit of Love The Way You Lie and No Love, both from his album Recovery. No Love is his biggest hit on my chart with 5 weeks at #1 and half a year in the Top 40.

#80. Maybe - Ingrid Michaelson (#9) Ingrid had a pretty big impact on my chart with her first hit The Way I Am but it was her next big hit Maybe that said to me, maybe I should check more of her music out? Maybe was a song that benefitted heavily from a more passive chart run. Not hearing the song regularly on the radio meant never getting sick of it but playing it occasionally on my own kept it riding my chart, where it spent 32 weeks in the Top 40 alone, and 38 in total overall.
#79. No One - Alicia Keys (#1 - 6 weeks) Alicia Keys never had a #1 on my chart until No One, and when it hit, it shattered. It spent 6 weeks on top and would go on to be her biggest hit for me, which includes 19 weeks in the Top 10.
#78. Feel It In My Bones - Tiësto f/Tegan & Sara (#6) While T&S had been staples on my chart for most of the decade by the time Feel It In My Bones came out, this song was their first to garner any sort of airplay on national radio outside of Alternative formats in Canada. That alone helped push this song and keep it on my chart for 45 weeks. It didn't peak as high as many of their singles at this point, but its impact was in its longevity.
#77. That I Would Be Good - Alanis Morissette (#6) Longevity is the name of the game often times. I wouldn't expect this song to chart higher than most of Alanis' others from over the years but here it is, all thanks to its 32 weeks in the Top 40 and 40 weeks on the entire chart. I chalk this song's longevity up to it being the primary single from her MTV Unplugged album in 2000, so it more or less just lingered. Over the years though, this song has grown on me much more than its peak would suggest. Despite its chart run being what it was, I wasn't super huge on this song at the time. Probably one of those rare times that my chart was ahead of its time.
#76. Love Song - Sara Bareilles (#7) Sara Bareilles fits the mold for what a fav artist would be for me. Spoiler alert: she's never been a Max fav. But I enjoy her songs well enough. Love Song was one of those, but it was also a big hit during a time when these types of singer/songwriter songs weren't typically big hits. So I was glad to be on board - for 46 weeks.
#75. Two-Way Monologue - Sondre Lerche (#2) Sondre Lerche is probably one of the biggest artists on my chart that few people have heard of. He's a Norwegian singer/songwriter who emerged in the early 2000s. This was the lead single from his second album in 2004 and it was an instant smash for me - his first on this chart as well. It spent 5 weeks at #2 and would go on to be one of the biggest songs of the year.
#74. Ain't It Funny - Jennifer Lopez (#6) This is the original pop version btw. I think I charted the Ja Rule version separately because they are different songs. I always remember this song chartwise as one that spent a long time in my Top 10, never going higher than #6. It spent 19 weeks going between #10 and #6, which is quite a long time.
#73. Hot 'N Cold - Katy Perry (#3) Katy Perry is pretty reliable for a Top 10 hit on my chart over the years. This was her second, where it spent 12 weeks, but the real story might be its overall chart run, as one of the rare songs to spend an entire year on my chart. By the time it fell out, Hot N Cold earned 54 weeks on.
#72. The Edge Of Glory - Lady Gaga (#1 - 14 weeks) I'm going to be honest, I'm disappointed this song isn't higher. I suspect it's because of the timeframe in which it came out. 2011 was peak Gaga for me (after 2010, which was also Gaga-centric). In 2010, Gaga spend 25 weeks in a row at #1 with Bad Romance and Telephone (Telephone spent an additional week after falling out for a week, giving Gaga 26 out of 27 weeks in a row at #1). A year later, she would beat her own record by spending 30 weeks in a row at #1 from Born This Way, right to You And I (with Judas and Edge of Glory in the middle). Edge of Glory *could* have spent more time at the top, but it was pushed out by its followup. However, it only spent 2 additional weeks in the Top 10 (16), meaning it had a relatively quick drop. So going back to the point, I suspect this song was a victim of Gaga-saturation at the time it came out. I loved it, but there was so much Gaga action in 2011 that it was spread throughout other songs and album tracks.
#71. The Way You Love Me - Faith Hill (#11) This song didn't reach the Top 10 but it did have an extended chart life of 43 weeks in the Top 100, 36 of those in the Top 40. It was simply a bubbly pop/country song that floated by and it worked well for it.

I should clarify that the "Years active" is pretty much the years when they were making my chart, so artists who aren't listened as active to the present could still make my charts when they put out new material.

#70. The First Cut Is The Deepest - Sheryl Crow (#1 - 6 weeks) Sheryl Crow had a peak year in 2003 on my chart where she started the year #1 with Picture and ended it at #1 with The First Cut Is The Deepest. Since this chart began in 1998, those two were Sheryl's only #1s on my chart (she might have had more before if my chart extended far enough back...). The First Cut is her longest running song with 59 weeks on the chart.
#69. Sweet Ones - Sarah Slean (#2) Sarah Slean became a staple on my chart almost from the beginning, with each album she released guaranteeing her a decent placement on my charts. It all started here in 2002, with Sweet Ones quickly rising and peaking at #2. 40 weeks on the chart, half a year in the Top 40, it was a sign of things to come.
#68. Under The Weather - KT Tunstall (#1 - 5 weeks) KT Tunstall is another artist who had a strong showing from the beginning. Under The Weather was her third chart hit and second #1 single (second #1 debut as well). (also worth noting, her second chart hit would go on to hit #1 after this song so her first 3 hits topped my chart). This song has since gotten buried by many of her other big hits on my chart over the years in a successful chart run that is still going strong 14 years later.
#67. In The Rough - Anna Nalick (#3) Anna Nalick never had a #1 hit but both of her #3 hits made the Top 100 of all time - and this is the biggest. In The Rough spent a single week at #3 but lasted 15 weeks in the Top 10, 28 in the Top 40 and 43 in the Top 100.
#66. Breathe - Michelle Branch (#3) My chart might be the only one where Michelle's second album performed stronger than her first with Breathe serving as her biggest hit. The song benefitted from spending nearly an entire year on the chart - 49 weeks, with 29 of those in the Top 40.
#65. Jesus Of Suburbia - Green Day (#1 - 5 weeks) This song might still be the longest song to reach #1 on my chart, with the album version nearly 10 minutes long and the radio edit at about 6 minutes. It was the last hit from Green Day's American Idiot album and it's the one that had the biggest impact on my chart. All 10 minutes spent 46 weeks on by the time it fell off.
#64. Since U Been Gone - Kelly Clarkson (#5) It took a lot for me to warm up to Kelly Clarkson. I wasn't super on board with the whole American Idiot concept when it first came out. Even still, Breakaway fared decently on my chart but I couldn't deny the sound of Since U Been Gone, which I was hesitant to give a great chart run to but it made it to a reluctant #5 peak. It gets the last laugh by having earned the most cumulative points in 2005 to put it as the year's biggest hit on my chart and, of course, it's on the all-time chart right here, thanks in part to its 51 weeks on.
#63. Surfacing - David Usher (#1 - 3 weeks) My chart can be seen as a reverse of historic charts in that men initially didn't perform very well overall in the earlier days. David Usher was the first male artist to consistently do well with each single and Surfacing is one of those #1s. The song spent 56 weeks on the chart from when it entered in late 2003 onward.
#62. If We Were Vampires - Jason Isbell & The 400 Unit (#1 - 1 week) This is one of the newer songs to make the all-time chart, first hitting my chart in late 2017 and hitting #1 in early 2018. If We Were Vampires was the first chart appearance for Jason Isbell and one that made an impact with longevity. While long-lasting songs were relatively common in the 2000s, in the 2010 decade, they were less so, with only a handful spending over 40 weeks on (and even fewer lasting an entire year). This song stuck around for 44 weeks.
#61. Beautiful Blue - Holly McNarland (#1 - 6 weeks) Beautiful Blue topped the chart during perhaps one of the most memorably competitive periods ever on my chart in the summer of 2002. I'll explain in more detail I'm sure when I get to the song that was #1 both before and after Holly's 6 weeks at the top, which is still to come. Holly didn't quite become a chart staple, more due to her not releasing many albums or singles after her string of hits on my chart in 2002-03, but for that brief period of time, she was a force.

#60. Alone In The Universe - David Usher (#1 - 4 weeks) David Usher became an unlikely chart staple in 2001 after this song came out of nowhere and topped my chart for a month. It would be the start of a string of hits that continued on for pretty well the rest of the decade and five albums. While he was a chart regular, his biggest hit remains his first.
#59. Closer - Chainsmokers f/Halsey (#5) Closer was the #1 song of 2016 despite only peaking at #5, but its longevity was what pushed it to be so big. The song was never a favourite of mine but it was one that was everpresent, and because it was a song built around nostalgia with a breezy melody, it was a winning formula for me. Closer spent 19 weeks in the Top 10, 31 weeks in the Top 40 and 47 in the Top 100.
#58. Saving My Face - KT Tunstall (#1 - 7 weeks) KT Tunstall's first album was a landmark album in my chart books so following it up was always going to be a challenge. Her second album Drastic Fantastic offered up another string of singles and while most of those didn't quite reach the mark of Eye To The Telescope's four #1s, Saving My Face was the one that did, spending 7 weeks on top of the chart and lasting in the Top 100 for 54 weeks total.
#57. Dear Life - Chantal Kreviazuk (#1 - 2 weeks) In the heights of Chantaldom on The Max/Shuffleplay charts, she was easily earning back-to-back #1s and back-to-back-to-back #1 debuts. Dear Life was her third in a row to debut at #1 and was the followup to the enormous smash Before You. All four singles from the parent album Colour Moving And Still make the Top 100 of all time, perhaps making it the most prolific album ever on my chart. Dear Life isn't among Chantal's most recognizable singles these days but it definitely benefitted from good timing.
#56. Bad Romance - Lady Gaga (#1 - 11 weeks) The Fame Monster is another album with multiple songs on the all-time chart. Bad Romance was a significant moment for Lady Gaga on my chart as it was her first #1 and kicked off what would become a legendary chart run that saw many consecutive weeks on top with multiple songs. 2010 was Lady Gaga's year (one of them) where she sat on top of the chart for 25 consecutive weeks (beginning in late 2009). 11 of those weeks were for Bad Romance.
#55. Smooth - Santana f/Rob Thomas (#1 - 4 weeks) I like to lay claim to being the first person (in the personal chart world, lol) to chart Smooth at #1. The song did so in its second week on my chart, if I'm not mistaken, which means that for nearly a year after it dropped out, I became relatively burnt out on it. But it's undeniably a good song and I don't regret a second of its time at #1, nor its total 41 weeks in my Top 100.
#54. In This Life - Chantal Kreviazuk (#1 - 8 weeks) It's probably no surprise that Chantal is the most represented artist in the Top 100 with 7 songs making it in. In This Life was the first single from her third album and was part of what might have been one of the most exciting album releases I can remember. Interestingly, the song debuted at #2 before eventually moving up to #1 - related to the high competition I mentioned back at #61 (Beautiful Blue). Looking back now, I think a lead single from Chantal debuting at #2 was a sign of the changing tide for me and the music I listened to, particularly since its followup Time didn't hit #1 at all and 2003 was a particularly explosive year for me in discovering new favourites.
#53. Hello - Martin Solveig & Dragonette (#3) Hello is an example of a song that was never really a favourite on its own but because it featured one of my favourites, and because it became an international hit, I kind of latched onto it longer than I would have otherwise. When I think of Dragonette, Hello probably wouldn't be in my top 10 favourites by them, but something's gotta be said for a song that spends 46 weeks on my chart, 33 of those in the top 40 - and that something is a #53 all-time placement.
#52. What's Luv? - Fat Joe f/Ashanti (and Ja Rule) (#1 - 4 weeks) I enjoy rap and hip-hop music quite a bit but for the most part, songs in that genre tend to have shorter lifespans on my chart as they tend to peak quickly and drop fast. What's Luv is an exception in that it was a relatively quick #1, but it also stuck around for 43 weeks overall. It is the biggest rap hit of all time on my chart though.
#51. Scar - Missy Higgins (#11) Scar is the biggest non-top 10 hit on my chart, and what's interesting is that it peaked at #11 on two separate occasions. Missy Higgins first charted in 2005 with Scar and when it was released in North America later as a remix, it charted again and once again reached #11. Overall, the song spent 60 weeks on the chart. While Missy was never a chart staple, she did make enough of an impact during her time on the chart to place two songs in the all-time Top 100. Her other is still to come.
