The Bridge is brought to you by KSwiss Episode 438 The first Top 20 Countdown show of the year is a great one. Sammy’s got a refreshed countdown to begin the year, but he’s got a #1 song that doesn’t change from the last countdown of last year. He’s got a few new songs for the show in an otherwise slow week of new releases. The top 5 songs are all shuffled around, and the top 10 is a different one than before. Welcome to 2026!
