    Many people seem to forget that this is a list of the most _recognizable_ songs. Even younger generations can recognize the old classics, but older generations will have a harder time recognizing some of the newer hits, so to me this list is probably pretty accurate.

      Of course it's bias. If it were unbiased, we'd see everything from Bach to Japanese wedding music to African rain dances. The fact that we see so little types of music indicates that it must be biased.

      It's understandable though. Not too sound like a baby boomer, but most songs nowadays kind of mush together, remixing melodies we already recognise. Of course, this doesn't mean every song does this, but most main stream songs.

    • @cranberryrosebud
      @cranberryrosebud Год назад +505

      to be fair, I think those decades, and especially the rock music from those periods, have a large number of songs that people either know, or know but don't know the title - I'm willing to bet most people have heard at least one Queen song, one Michael Jackson song, etc.
      Maybe Guns N' Roses is a bit of a stretch, given that I was raised listening to older music and am only able to recognise any of their songs from years of watching videos like this, I'm not sure how much reach they have but I'll agree that it's probably people from the rock fandom that voted for them.
      Personally, I always expect more Beatles songs than there actually are - I Wanna Hold Your Hand, for example, is such a famous song but it's almost never mentioned.

      The funny thing is that the most recognizable song in all time history in all over the world was " disco deewane by Nazia Hassan " even in those areas of the world where people not understand the language of the song but in every country's chart of songs ranked number 1 in 1980 . Top of the list in every country's list. Pakistan to Australia, Uk to Japan. India to Africa. Russia to middle east. All continent of south America . ( Brazil Columbia Venezuela Uruguay Paraguay Guyana Argentinan Barbados and specially in Peru & Mexico ) all these countries never understand even one word of this song but this song was super duper hit in these countries. In comment section of this song in RUclips some south American people declare Nazia Hassan voice was the best recorded voice in human history. Clearly a magic was in voice. Still they listening till today. Go and watch this song in RUclips disco deewane by Nazia Hassan.
      No doubt the most recognizable song in recorded history. But very very funny thing is that not even in last number of this list . The uploader of this video is must be a mental case. not aware to this song. Hahaha 🤣

Do yourself a favor and actually look at the video description before slandering a creator while you write a half-ass broken English attempt to promote a locally popular song for your region.
      2. South Asia is not the entire World nor has it ever been the center of the world. You are seriously reaching with this ludicrous claim. I did not even know this artist nor this song existed until I read your comment. If you feel too bothered to look up the chart numbers for every song on this list and compare it to "disco deewane", then I have another solution for you. Look at the name "Nazia Hassan", and compare it to every single artist on this video's list. Come back to me and tell me a minorly successful Pakistani singer in the 1980s for a few years is bigger than the likes of Queen or Michael Jackson. I'd advise you to brush up on your English, and to take the blindfold of South Asian bias off of your eyes before writing such a unfounded and ridiculous comment. Have a terrible day my friend.

    A big factor of why a song is universally recognizable by both the young and the old is media appearance. General media will almost always use popular songs of both young and old in their soundtracks. For example, the Stitch movie used Jailhouse Rock in an end sequence, Wayne's World used Bohemian Rhapsody in a car scene, the Fallout franchise used a lot of 1950s songs to stay in tune with the game's overall vibe, Never Gonna Give You Up exploded in popularity in huge part due to Rickroll memes, and All Star was the same because of Shrek memes. Whatever the usage case may be, it planted the seeds of "oh I think I've heard this one somewhere" in the minds of those who you normally wouldn't expect to know such songs.
