The fan-voted top 100 most recognizable songs is out now:    • (fan-voted) top 100 most recognizable...  

As per usual, I excluded Christmas songs and children's songs from the video as they would make up half of the list otherwise.

“Recognizable” is based off of what percentage of people would recognize any given song as of today. Obviously this is all opinionated.

The original video still hasn't been unblocked after several weeks so I decided to make a new version.

    Everyone: “it’s so nice to hear the voices over 100 years,” Me: “horses, horses, horses,”

    It's weird how humanity has always been obsessed with love songs, no matter of what era or what genre
  • "This land is my land, and this land is your land" And that, kids, was how countries were invented.

    You know these songs are bangers when they still play on the radio 40-50 years later

    there are a lot of weird transitions but i think going from zombie in 94 to the fucking macarena in 95 is so insane i love it

    This put me in tears it’s crazy how many generations of music my granny taught me, and with her being African American how broad her taste of music was I didn’t fully understand or appreciate it then but i sure do now and miss her so much and each song was a memory of singing, dancin, laughter, and smiles RIP CAROL DANGERFEILD…my wonderful grandma I’ll never ever forget !❤🕊️

    Props to the cameraman for living long enough to post this historic footage

    It's crazy how many of the old ones are covered or sampled nowadays. We've really been listening to 100 year old songs

    I can't describe the feel when I hear Sing Sing Sing pop up from all other about 100 years old songs. It's so outstanding, proudly distinguished itself from all other rhythms, representing a category of music, still so good after almost a century.
