A FEW STATISTICS ABOUT THE GREATEST SONGS OF ALL TIME!

 

The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)

 

"The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time" was the cover story of a special issue of Rolling Stone, issue number 963, published December 9, 2004,[1] a year after the magazine published its list of "The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time". The song list was chosen based on votes by 172 musicians, critics, and music-industry figures.

 

In May 2010, Rolling Stone compiled an updated list which was published in a special issue and in digital form for iPod and iPad applications. The list differs only slightly from the 2004 version, with the only additions being songs from the 2000s. The entire top ten remained unchanged. In the top 100, the only new entry was Gnarls Barkley's "Crazy" at number 100.

 

The number of songs from each decade in this updated version is as follows:

 

Decade Number of songs Percentage

1940s --- 2 0.4%

1950s --- 69 13.8%

1960s --- 195 39%

1970s --- 131 26.2%

1980s --- 55 11%

1990s --- 21 4.2%

2000s --- 27 5.4

 

Note: You’ll find that the bulk of our sample song list is from the 60’s, 70’s & 80’s… according to this Rolling Stone article over 70% of the greatest music of all time is from those decades!
