This might be the best one of these “100 most iconic songs” lists yet. Maybe not in terms of accuracy, that’s subjective and I don’t really care about it anyways, but quality. Just one banger after another.
Maybe, but what a wonderful world is NOT 3rd most recognizable, this was either U.S. based or made in a poll, cuz if so, this list is wrong no matter if these are bangers or not As an example, hip hop nowadays is way more recognizable than other genres like country or jazz, you can literally see how they avoided it so hard on this video it's not even funny

@@peroluego102 I would assume it's very U.S based or at least among English speakers, still a great list when watched in the context of an American list
@@peroluego102 10 songs in and there's already 3 rap songs. Also, there are lots of older people who probably don't listen to rap. Heck, I'm 18 and I hardly know Gold Digger.
I mean no one can be completely accurate because that doesn't even exist. this list really did do a great job of outlining the most possible candidates for such a 100 list, even if some were put not in the "correct" order.
I think is cause the Movie that more people know the song from the youngest generation. I know both since I was little cause my parents are old and love both but I like more Billie Jean. Also know more people that know more Billie Jean than Bohemian but I get is not the case for everyone.
Bohemian Rhapsody as the most recognizable song? Definitely in agreement there, you only need to hear one word to recognize it instantly Not to mention that Rhapsody was just autofilled after I typed bohemian

how is dont stop me now only 39?? There are many songs that were higher up that i feel like dont stop me now should've been above. Also surprised somebody to love or radio gaga isnt here 😭
Great picks. Some are way too low like All Star for example. That’s very well known especially these days as it’s used in several videos and commercials. Vanilla Ice Ice Baby and Achy Breaky Heart could have taken the place of a couple of these. Also no Mariah Carey is crazy lol. At least We Belong Together or Fantasy.
When people talked about how shocking it was that Queens catalog sold for over a billion dollars (more than double than some of the next highest artists), I justified it with the following sentence and this list proves my point. Queen has more ‘everybody knows that song’ songs than any other rock band past or present. In fact when you think about it, they might be second only to MJ for most songs by any artist period in that regard.
Shame, "Get Lucky" deserves to be here over "See You Again" at very least. "See You Again" just doesn't feel too special to be among the most recognisable songs and I thought Boogiehead loved Daft Punk.
Also, no "What Is Love", "Barbie Girl", "Blue (Da Ba Dee)", "Dragostea Din Tei", "Axel F", "Hot Stuff", "Don't Speak", "Basket Case", "Losing My Religion" or even "Africa".
@@shocksystem8675 Fair, but half of them are just meme songs 😂and "see you again" is recognizable because of Paul Walker from fast and the furious, so be fair my friend.

Request: top 100 songs of 1983 1. Billie jean 2. Every breath you take 3. Thriller 4. Girls just wanna have fun 5. Beat it 6. Sweet dreams are made of this 7. What a feeling 8. Maniac 9. Down under 10. Africa these songs should be the top 10
@@sriramnallan Just listened to it and I kinda recognize the music but the lyrics I have no idea. Africa should definitely be above it and honestly theirs probably another song that deserves to be in the top 10 more then down under.
This is pretty good i would say the order of some of the songs were off but as it’s subjective that doesn’t really matter. The only problem i have was with dancing queen which i had never heard before but i have heard other songs from that band
Great video I love your content I watched all videos BUT.. There’s one particularly song that is very popular and everyone knows it It got popular because of Social Media (Actually it got popular in another way but Idk how) Hymn of the Weekend - Colfplay
1:42 last year I had to make a group and we had to make a dance based on our journey through primary school and we almost picked this one because ‘we did survive school’ 😅
bohemian is just the perfect song. It brings sadness, anger and motivation and despair out of you and you instantly know it is on when you hear a lyric or tune.
I don't know about that but I think they should've at least included 'It's my life', because it's way more famous and recognizable than 'Living in a prayer'..just saying..
14:35 Saw Bon Jovi live back in ‘86 when I was just 16. I was a metalhead, but I also enjoyed Glam-metal- which was an interesting mix. Gosh, the 80’s were the best times of my life. Wish I could go back. Watching the music video of Livin’ on a Prayer always brings me back.
No everybody want to rule the world or Africa? Everybody wants to rule the world has almost the same amount of streams as Billie Jean, and Africa has over 2 billion and its iconic as well
@@steviedub9370 this has nothing to do with how good these acts are, it’s about how recognizable they are. Also sales aren’t necessarily indicative of how good a project is.

ENOUGH ALREADY OF THAT DISGUSTING SONGS 😡😡😡
💀💀💀
Has anyone else seen what happens when you try translate this list LMAO
Honestly, other than some placements, this list is awesome!
This list is better than most videos like this!! 🙌🏽
I may not agree with the full list, but hats off for the amazing compilation!
This list is amazing. Always amazing to see Queen dominate these lists!
This list is the GOAT! Loved every second! Thanks for compiling this iconic list and giving me a smile.
BANGER AFTER BANGER
how is dont stop me now only 39?? There are many songs that were higher up that i feel like dont stop me now should've been above. Also surprised somebody to love or radio gaga isnt here 😭
Queen have 6 songs here. We shouldn't be greedy 😂
You should make another fan voted one, due to the increased input since the last version and the VERY drastic differences in the results now.
4:20 flawless transition
Great list here. Great artists like the weeknd Britney spears madonna and many more. Thank you for this awesome music video list
My faves
88, 86, 84, 83, 80, 73, 72, 69, 65, 64, 63, 61, 60, 59, 55, 53, 51, 50, 48, 44, 43, 42, 41, 25, 19, 17, 16, 15, 11, 9 (Must watch 👀), 2 (this too 🤌)
careless whisper :DDD
Abba literally on top. Number 10.
It's criminal that you choose 2 over 1
We need a top 100 most recognized songs EDM version
i’ve actually been working on that playlist lol
Great picks. Some are way too low like All Star for example. That’s very well known especially these days as it’s used in several videos and commercials. Vanilla Ice Ice Baby and Achy Breaky Heart could have taken the place of a couple of these. Also no Mariah Carey is crazy lol. At least We Belong Together or Fantasy.
i really like that it went from sound of silence to viva la vida
Notice how there isnt single Taylor Swift song
Yes
I feel like Shake If Off should have made it on here
@@makkeryhmeywhy? It’s not a good song. A generic pop song. And I’m really not a Taylor swift hater. She doesn’t belong to this list.
@@Cheeseburger9743I think they meant it’s easily recognizable because it is way too overplayed
@@honeythebunn yes sadly. Most of the songs are very good, but i heard them to often
honestly 24 for imagine is fine good list bro
I've never listened to it
@@rustymidlander05 I recommend you to listen to it, it is a very meaningful song made for peace.
@@rustymidlander05no shot bruv
@@Promisebreaker222 Well, I've never actively sought to listen to it. Apparently they've played it at a lot of Olympics, so maybe.
@@rustymidlander05 fair
I can literally click at any point in this video and recognize the song
the amount of queen songs puts a smile on my face. Freddy would be happy
When people talked about how shocking it was that Queens catalog sold for over a billion dollars (more than double than some of the next highest artists), I justified it with the following sentence and this list proves my point.
Queen has more ‘everybody knows that song’ songs than any other rock band past or present.
In fact when you think about it, they might be second only to MJ for most songs by any artist period in that regard.
I still think they're more popular than MJ tbh
No Daft Punk songs?!
What a shame: he has such an iconic theme!
Shame, "Get Lucky" deserves to be here over "See You Again" at very least. "See You Again" just doesn't feel too special to be among the most recognisable songs and I thought Boogiehead loved Daft Punk.
Also, no "What Is Love", "Barbie Girl", "Blue (Da Ba Dee)", "Dragostea Din Tei", "Axel F", "Hot Stuff", "Don't Speak", "Basket Case", "Losing My Religion" or even "Africa".
@@shocksystem8675 Fair, but half of them are just meme songs 😂and "see you again" is recognizable because of Paul Walker from fast and the furious, so be fair my friend.
@@shocksystem8675 In my opinion there is too low Michael Jackson
great job once again.
putting smooth criminal so low is criminal
8:03 every person in britian just died a bit lol

W list honestly, I’d change a few things but this is pretty good.
I still say that the theme for Fresh Prince of Bel Air should be on these most recognizable songs lists
I don't think many people agree
mj everywhere #thegoat
Michael Jackson and Michael Jordan 👍🏻
Dude I had no idea the sounds of silence was released in 1964
Fr tho, I thought it was in the 80's
I'm actually very relieved to say that I haven't heard most of these.
Gen alpha comfirmed
Notice how Queen is here 6 times. Absolute legends
The fact that most of these song are 70' 80' 90' and early 2000's makes me think how these times were the best for the World of music
It'd cool if you could do a video on European music since most of the hits are from USA.
Thank you so much
Request: top 100 songs of 1983
1. Billie jean
2. Every breath you take
3. Thriller
4. Girls just wanna have fun
5. Beat it
6. Sweet dreams are made of this
7. What a feeling
8. Maniac
9. Down under
10. Africa
these songs should be the top 10
@@sriramnallan What the heck is down under? Never heard of it. All others I have but that one doesn’t ring any sort of bell.
@@sriramnallan Just listened to it and I kinda recognize the music but the lyrics I have no idea. Africa should definitely be above it and honestly theirs probably another song that deserves to be in the top 10 more then down under.
You missed Welcome to the Jungle by GNR. They only play it at every sporting event ever haha
Or that one episode of 9-1-1 where all the animals escaped the zoo because of an earthquake
Welcome to the black parade is the bohemian rhapsody of the 2000's, disserves top 20 at least
This is pretty good i would say the order of some of the songs were off but as it’s subjective that doesn’t really matter. The only problem i have was with dancing queen which i had never heard before but i have heard other songs from that band
Queen are the goats 🔥🔥🔥🔥
he actually posted and i missed it
Love ur vids! ❤
The fact adele is 69th here snd she having a break of music making and i think the break is 6-9 years (its a long break) is crazy
Great video I love your content I watched all videos
BUT..
There’s one particularly song that is very popular and everyone knows it
It got popular because of Social Media (Actually it got popular in another way but Idk how)
Hymn of the Weekend - Colfplay
THANK YOU
Good list but i think Barbie Girl and Im Blue should be here
@@leonardorc4513 Yeag, "Axel F" and the "Numa Numa" song as well.
Watch his other videos
Barbie Girl and I'm Blue are both in his original video
Putting the most streamed song ever at 98 is bold
We got rickrolled…
wake me up before you go go is there def bc of me . i listen it all the time its even my ringtone sooo anywayss love whamm and queen

1:42 last year I had to make a group and we had to make a dance based on our journey through primary school and we almost picked this one because ‘we did survive school’ 😅
You just rick rolled us
I never thought I’d see the day (I’ve practically memorised the entire last version)
Can you make Apple playlists for all these you do? This one is great, thanks!
Queen is awesome, Freddie had the most unforgettable voice
I’d be interested to see how many of these have movies to thank for a large portion of their recognizability, it felt like quite a few.
I think Stairway to Heaven and Dream On should be rated higher but of course Queen just must take the first spot, as they do deserve it
did I just get rickrolled
1:22 Banger right there
bohemian is just the perfect song. It brings sadness, anger and motivation and despair out of you and you instantly know it is on when you hear a lyric or tune.
7:35 Time paused while i was listening to this.
Seeing no taylor swift here gives me peace.
😊don't you see ok*nye west also gives me peace
Obviously there wil always be some disagreement in a list like this, and there definitely are some songs missing. However, this list is really great
I wish there were more Bon Jovi's songs! Some of them are true anthems!!! But very good list, though.
I don't know about that but I think they should've at least included 'It's my life', because it's way more famous and recognizable than 'Living in a prayer'..just saying..
@@michelleart6593 Yes, I agree!
14:35 Saw Bon Jovi live back in ‘86 when I was just 16. I was a metalhead, but I also enjoyed Glam-metal- which was an interesting mix. Gosh, the 80’s were the best times of my life. Wish I could go back. Watching the music video of Livin’ on a Prayer always brings me back.
No everybody want to rule the world or Africa? Everybody wants to rule the world has almost the same amount of streams as Billie Jean, and Africa has over 2 billion and its iconic as well
The Beatles are way better then Micheal Jackson they sold more and so did Elvis
@@steviedub9370 this has nothing to do with how good these acts are, it’s about how recognizable they are. Also sales aren’t necessarily indicative of how good a project is.
I’m surprised Avicii didn’t make the top 100
