@phuzzo1 also almost every love songs carry multiple messages and everybody perceives it differently. Example 2 people could relate to a sad love song, one due to a passed family member, and the other person due to a lover that left.
In my opinion, sometimes you just can't beat the classics (I'm an oldie at heart). And I think artists just recognise how good they are and either record them to bring them back, or have just run out of ideas that could possibly compare. I'd like to think it's the first one more often than not, but the world today is all about profit.
The choices for current years will definitely change in the future I believe. Songs that rule the chart aren't always the most remembered. Like 1971 - Stairway To Heaven never even reached number 1 but is the most remembered now. Would be fun to see which songs are remembered in the future from our current generation.
In 1981 my choir/drama group friends LOVED "Don't Stop Believin'," it was our song, but it wasn't as big on the charts as many others and it wasn't until The Sopranos, Glee, etc that people who weren't actually there began to think of it as THE song of that time.
This will sound silly but I think I finally get why Elvis, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones etc were so big in their time. You go from decades of smooth singing crooners to music that still sounds modern in like a 5-10 year period. It must have been wild living in the late 50s/early 60s and seeing music change so fast.
The transition from 80s glam/hair rock bands to 90s grunge was just as abrupt. In a few years, bands that could headline and sell out arenas could barely sell albums.
@@scottfossil7731 Nowhere near the same in my opinion. There was basically one kind of popular music the youth were listening to in the late 50s/early 60s: rock n roll, in the 80s the biggest bands on the planet weren't hair bands.
THIS IS THE BEST COMPILATION EVER!! i’ve heard songs from my childhood in the 50s that my mother listened to. I’ve heard songs from the 60s I dance to in high school. Then there’s the songs from the 70s and 80s and my kids drove me crazy with! Just the best.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
The fact that I basically knew nearly every song aftter 1946 is amazing how they are still around to this day as memes. Edit: THANK YOU FOR THE LIKES OMG
hey, don't mess with the 1920s. I can still remember listening to my Great Grandmother's old Victoria and some of those classic songs. I'm 57 now, so those songs would have been 50 or so years old then. By comparson now, a seven year old would be listening to music from 1973-1974.

Jesus Christ will come back soon and we don't have much time to turn to Him. He died for all of our sins so that we can be forgiven. All we have to do is accept Him into our lives and trust Him wholeheartedly. Nobody but Jesus can save your soul. This might be your sign so turn to Him today. He loves you😊
This really makes me think about the 'it was better back then' effect. In fact, all the music in this video is VERY good in very objective metrics, like complexity, presence of other instruments, cool rythms and stuff. Perhaps all the good stuff remains, and we forget the bad so we tend to think that before it was best. However, we are exposed to ... let's say ... not memorable music of only our era, so it is natural to think that it was better before, while it really wasn't. Just some thoughts lol
Not to mention people tend to grow up listening to songs of their time, and learn to like it. After they get old, the music just isn't really the same as the ones they learned to like because music changes over time. Everyone says the music from before their age is old-fashioned and boring and music from after is just bad.
@@Daniel-ii1ok Man, Dancing Queen is played everywhere, everyday by everyone of all ages, nor Hotel California nor 85% of the music ever released comes even close to it...
The gradual change from well dressed, happy singers, to broody hair metal, to flashy pop songs really shows where culture was and is. Truly eye-opening to see such changes
i don't think there was a single metal song in this lineup... are you sure you're not making really wide generalizations? after all the concept of "aesthetics" is very modern compared to how these genres actually evolved and intermixed
@solarprogeny6736 at the very least on this list KISS is considered metal... maybe not always or strictly but still. Come on guys, give me an inch over here
The 1960s to now had terrible songs for the most part. Rap "music" became a thing, people sung about terrible things, (though this also happened in 1928) and the females in those music videos became so poor they could no longer afford proper clothing.
@@JohnGisMe Being hateful to others for simply enjoying something you don’t while giving no evidence behind your claim isn’t gonna change anything other than lowering people’s opinion of you. “I prefer music from before the 1960s” would do just fine instead of spreading hate towards others for daring to not have the exact same tastes as you. Grow up and accept that other people can be happy while you’re bitter.
Neurosurgeon here; it's actually fascinating and we do a ton of research on this subject in order to treat patients who have had removal of Gliomas (rare type of brain tumor), the music actually makes them feel like they are back in the moment where they first heard that song. We find that in MRI scans, the patient's brain lights up like a Christmas tree!
@@MagicDrumSticks wow that's crazy, I knew songs and sound could unlock memories but that's a different level. Shows our brains do keep most memories we just have to find the key to unlock them
It's wild for me how suddenly music went from what seems like "old music" to "modern music". Pretty much 1960 and on, I was familiar with every song, while before that I only knew a couple. I also learned that the early 2000s are a complete blind spot to me.
That’s probably because the 2 Eminem songs were at his peak but if you weren’t into rap then you probably would have never heard it, in the end is only relevant due to the internet and if your not that into it you might not recognize it, and crazy in love as well as yeah we’re big radio hits that could be easily missed if you didn’t listen to the radio then.
and then depression realizing that the end is just tiktok songs that little braindead kids listen to and arent recognizable unless you hear shit from that brainless app.
There is a striking difference between music in the 2010s and everything else. Not just because of how poppy it is, but because the percussion sounds so much more polished. It was quite shocking to hear the difference between "Rolling in the Deep" and "Call Me Maybe".
@@top_fin electronic is the standard nowadays for drums. there are hardcore bands that dont have drummers nowadays; only for live shows. i dont like it either, because everyone seems to use the same samples for their drum kits.
It’s because they aren’t real drums lol. They are just put on to a midi keyboard and spliced up so each beat falls exactly on the beat. Back then, it was real people playing the drums so it obviously wasn’t completely on the beat, because humans aren’t computers. Even when real people play drums now, they are usually highly edited in post production so they are perfectly in time Disclaimer: I’m not saying there’s anything wrong with this. Each decade has a new technology for music and every single artist takes advantage of it to make recording easier. Like when artificial double trackers were introduced in the 60s, all the bands used it because it made it significantly easier to double track vocals
@@migwel2673 If you’re talking about my robotic response, I do that when I’m trying to respond to insults without starting an argument. Now either tell me what your problem is or go take your negativity somewhere else, okay?!
I was fairly surprised at how many of those older songs from the 20's and 30's have made a rebirth into today's music. It's not uncommon for songs of today to start with a different sounding version of something that's been out there for 90+ years. We just don't recognize it for the most part because the originals aren't something we'd have heard.
Besides Singing in the Rain and Unforgettable I liked the 70s and 80s songs on this video better, but that's just me. There's also a song "You Belong to Me" from the 40's that's really pretty, I like the Jason Wade cover more than the original.

I thought Somebody That I Used To Know should have been chosen for 2011 and Old Town Road should have been chosen for 2019. Thanks for putting this video together.
Old Town Road was 2019's song in the old video, my best guess is that they replaced it with Blinding Lights (which was formerly the song for 2020) so that they could put Dynamite as 2020's song instead.
It’s crazy how in the mid 50’s music basically just modernized for good. Like after thousands of years of there being a lot more gradual change (albeit was advancing pretty rapidly compared to the rest of history) it just ultimately snapped and now the last 70 years have just been an unbelievably crazy roller coaster of sounds and change throughout the years.
I think it has to do a lot with technology. The things we can do with sounds and instruments now are crazy. Think even just when the electric guitar was introduced and basic song mixing and things like that.
not that I'm an expert or anything, but I'd think it's because that's about when Rock music went mainstream, and that the things we associate with "modern" music are things that were first pioneered by rock stars.
The Beatles is a very interesting band. Given that they recorded and published well over 200 songs one would think that they existed for a quite long time, but the band existed "only" for a mere 10 years. And not only did the band exist only for 10 years, during those years it changed quite drastically. It started as an archetypal 1960's rock&roll boy band, and ended as an anti-war hippie music group, and the outwards appearance of the members changed accordingly (eg. you wouldn't believe that John Lennon from 1964 is the same person as John Lennon from 1969. His appearance changed completely, from a 60's pop-rock&roll band member to a full-on hippie). This is in contrast with many other long-lasting bands, such as Rolling Stones, which has existed for 60 years and has not drastically changed in that time.
totaly agree, they are my favorite band since i was just a little boy and heard yellow submarine for the first time, even me who knows a lot of them cant belive how they changed that much in such a few time, i think they are an incridible band. Im from Brazil and i can say The Beatles changed my life.
I agree you can see how quickly the change in say "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" and "Tomorrow Never Knows" released in just two and a half years. Truly changed a lot in a short period of time definitely my favorite band of all time no matter what type of music you like it seems as if they have a song or two of it.
yeah, to add to that, not only they showed up like 5 times in this list, but they achieved justin biever levels of popularity in way before internet ages, that's something crazy
When I was in middle school I hyperfixated on the Beatles which were also my intro to pretty much any music from the 20th century and so for a long time I figured they were the norm. It just didn't occur to me that bands would stick around for more than a decade, much less that they'd keep doing their thing that whole time.
The first three years barely count as well, that was their early days when they had a different drummer and we’re a small time British band that occasionally went to Germany. The time between the British Invasion and their international fame as a boy band, through to their break up - was six years. In those six years they released the albums with some remarkable progression in musical style and distinct personalities of the members. Given the modern day fragmentation if media I don’t think there will ever be another Beatles - the absolute tidal wave of culture they unleashed in such a small time was very impressive.

This is the definition of not being diverse: it consists solely of English music, which covered only a very small fraction of English speakers at that time.Where there were no recognizable Chinese or Indian songs throughout any year?
@@thandepajito say this consists of only English music is incorrect there’s Korean + Spanish songs in there too. I get where you’re coming from but at the same time music with English lyrics dominates medias making it arguably more recognisable to the majority
@@thandepaji That’s simply because the it’s based on a survey asks what people from NOW remember as the most popular song from a certain year. It doesn’t pertain to sales charts or what people from back then remember. Considering that all music now is made accessible through the internet, coupled with the fact that pretty much everyone on the net can understand English, it’s no wonder that pretty much all the music here is Western. And even through sales charts and cultural influence, Western music just dominates. The best selling Chinese album only managed to reach 7 million sales according to a Wikipedia article. The best selling Indian album reached 55 million. While that does seem a lot, it only happened once, the artist who made that album didn’t even appear on the list again.
What an interesting transition. 1939 - Somewhere over the rainbow. A dreamy song about making wishes. From a time when everything seemed so bright. 1940 - I'll never smile again. First proper year of WW2. 1941 - Boogie woogie bugle boy. The war is part of everyday life. May as well get used to it. And then Edith Piaf having the first non-English song on the list. And Little Richard starting the rock'n roll craze. And whatever the heck Bobby Pickett was doing in 1962. And then how you know every single song from then on. And then the Beatles ruling the world for 3 straight years. And then how the right holders for Led Zep are a-holes. And then how crazy the '70s were, a music explosion. And how it took 50 years for someone to dance better than Fred Astaire. And how we're never gonna give up the '80s. And how the '90s are made out of nostalgia. And how the noughties were kinda meh. And how you can't really tell what happened to music afterwards. Boy. What a trip, eh?
That’s generally true, but also remember a lot of these clips are of poor digital transfers of footage originally shot on film, which actually looks pretty incredible if you get a chance to see an actual celluloid print on a projector (save for maybe some of the clips shot on tape or early HDTV).
Always found it funny how we could acheive sharper picture with black and white film in the 50s and 60s, but still recorded on hazier coloured film through the 70s and 80s.
@@TheyLive1 You're correct, I'm missremebering. The difference in picture was due to the switch from purely black and white film to coloured films. I've changed my original comment to reflect this. Thank you for the correction.
Cameras have actually been very good for many decades now. Storage has been the problem. Videos from the 70s and 80s generally look better than the 90s for example, but that's because VCRs became easily accessible in the 90s. VCRs were cheap but had TERRIBLE transfer quality
6:07 The fact that The Beatles appeared three times in a row just goes to show how incredible their music was. They rocked that time period (no pun intended).
@@someonename765 i mean you can argue that satisfaction is a better song (i would disagree though) but yesterday is objectively more iconic and famous which is what this video is about
This is a surprisingly good collection. The only thing I would had changed is replace happy with let it go. I think let it go is the most recognisable 2013 song.
One thing I find super cool about this is towards the end of each decade you can hear the sound start to show hints of what the next decade would be known for. For example Guns n Roses in 1988 are a precursor to grunge in the 90s, Lady Gaga in 2009 was a precursor to the super over produced dance tracks of the 2010s, YMCA in 1978 was the 70s groove becoming more cheesy and danceable like the 80s etc etc it's just so cool
@@creampuffsterIt's marketing bro. Even as simple humanbeings we create artificial boundaries called decades and memorize every decade with its own 'unique' style of music. Musicians (the industry, bands, artists, producers and etc.) are well aware of this and they just produce something creative, unheard and brand new at the end of a decade and create 'a new path' for the music industry in the new decade, thus claiming that they were the pioneers of 'that very genre' with producing such songs even before that decade came. Ofc this cannot be achieved by random artists and bands, only by those who are really able to direct even the music taste of crowds
You can really see the way certain artists changed music like Elvis and the Beatles , regardless if you like them now as artists they broke though something and changed the culture forever. I recently saw an interview with ozzy Osborn about the impact the Beatles had on him “ it was like going to sleep in a world that was gray , and waking up in a world with colour.” His musics very different from the Beatles, but I love that quote.
@@sankajuice you do realize that almost every single artist in the world has people that write songs for them, right? Especially now in this day and age so the fact that you are trying to label Elvis as the only person that has ever not song a song that isn’t originally theirs. It’s stupid.
@@bxarbiana having song writers, and stealing music from black musicians is not the same thing babes. Obviously he’s not the only one responsible, but that really doesn’t make a difference
I started recognizing the songs shown in the video when it went to the 60s, I can’t believe how much music has evolved, the 80s songs will always be my favorites though
I'm 15, and I started recognizing most of them at 1927. 😭 I started disliking them at 2016, but woah everything before then is amazing! Especially 1954 to the 80s for me!
The music in the 90s was very depressing after nirvana hit mtv everything changed that and 9/11 defined the change from the 80s to 90s and 90s to 2000s
No sign of Oasis or REM in this list, which is odd. Or Radiohead. The more radio friendly pop stuff of the 90's really started the trend of mainstream being the mediocre side of things. In my opinion at least.
I hope all these musicians know they created irreplaceable pieces of art that instantly transport us to the moments we first heard those songs. Music is a beautiful thing
I find it amazing how songs from almost 100 years ago are still used today. Edit: I hate to be that guy but... damn... This is the most likes ive ever gotten.
@@summere22 A lot of older songs get sampled and reused. Loads of movie soundtracks for example also are inspired from a lot of classical musical pieces. The Star Wars Imperial March soundtrack for example came from a track called ''Mars'' and a lot of modern soundtracks take bits and pieces from that musical piece.
I like how you can see dufferent eras of time and popular bands, like the elvis and beatles songs, and the takeover of rock and roll in the 70s then 80s hits and so on
5:41 is probably one of my favorite songs. The amount of joy on Louis' face just shows how passionate he was singing, and how much gratitude he had for being gifted with this wonderful talent. Man, that smile is contagious. ❤
Sure! and it hits you harder when you add the fact thaat the craks and scars on his lip are all from playing the trumpet. he must have loved it all so much!
That song is so depressing. Louis is a one of kind gentleman, his influence and passion and legacy are so substantial. He feels like an indomitable force, a cornerstone of music, and to hear the lyrics of a man confessing the strictures of time are fast upon him... it sucks.
It’s super interesting to hear older songs that I thought were by one artist but it turns out it was just another artist’s rendition, putting their mark on the tapestry of a song’s history we’ve made together
As a 143 year old man I recognize all of these as pure classics Edit: Today I'm turning 3,856 years old today 🎉🎉🎉 Edit 2: I'm now 5,789,012,647 years old!!!✨✨✨
I found it fascinating that I recognized roughly half of the songs from before 1950, every single one from 1950-2017, and not a single song after. I guess that means I can pinpoint exactly when I got old 😅
Me too, but I'm not old. Even those in 2010s I recognise only just because of the commercials. It's probably more because of the genre than being old or not.
Recording music, taking photos, and filming videos is truly a wonder. These musicians' names might become forgotten, but their voices and musical tunes are immortalized in the ears and heads of hundreds of millions of people. As a younger person (someone who's in their 20s), it's crazy how many songs from the 50s, 60s, 70s, etc. are recognizable to me. Like, even the ones that were recorded before my own parents were born. Good lord, I can't believe Elvis's music is 50s music. My goodness.
Also, a black lady was the first to perform Ain't Nothing But a Hound Dog, but Elvis made it popular. I'm in my 20's but I think I only know some really popular songs from 60s and before. And yes I think we take for granted the ability to record music and video.
Same, I'm 30 though. It's also interesting to me how little of the music from like 2012 I know or could identify the name/artist, and that's only because Gangnam Style hit 1 billion views and it was 'news'. It's not through choice either trying to be like counter culture or whatever, but it reminds me of when I was younger and "older" people would have that ''you don't know what real music is" attitude.

It’s really interesting how some of the very earlier songs, like Tiptoe Through the Tulips and Putting on the Ritz, have gone down in history because of later covers or versions.
The nostalgia. It's great being an adult but man do I miss those young years of ignorance, stupidity, and bliss. Here's to a wonderful past and a better future
Tiptoe Through the Tulips, is recognizable almost 100 years later by young people, that's very special, there are literally well known songs 60 years later that would live to be less recognizable, which is an incredible feat.
It is insane that I recognize songs as far back as 1939. These songs have truly have stood the test of time. _Edit: I like how this has just turned into everyone bragging about how their younger and recognize songs farther back than I do lol_
It's crazy watching rock dominate for the most part until the mid-to-late 90s and then just drop completely off save a couple of exceptions. You can also see this with Jazz earlier on.
Agree. Plus i also add 2000s to my list. Hiphop / rock / pop / edm all together with fairness. That was also an era where everyone could find great songs for his / her music taste. The first round was surely 70s. Disco. Pop. Rock. But also ballads from prev. decades. And also tunes for upcoming 80s synth pop. This 2 is by far the best era
@@u_val7106 dude, people have different music tastes, and objectively speaking they are musically talented. They may not be my favourites but I don’t think they are shit because it’s not my type of music and I don’t know enough about that genre to determine whether they are awful
Some people get nostalgic for a certain era and proclaim "that's when they made real music, they don't do that anymore". But I think there's rather a constant increase in variation. In the early 1900s you could count genres on one hand. Now you could fill books with thousands of subgenres. Which is amazing, because regardless of your tastes, you can continuously discover new artists. For the future that will mean less shared "recognizable songs" though -- I have been so locked in my Spotify bubble that I don't even recognize anything after Despacito in this video.
@@CricketEngland only 1 song can be chosen each year, wham not being on it doesn't mean he doesn't know them, simply that none of their songs are more recognizable than the ones in the video, careless whisper is more recognizable than last christmas or wake me up
The Beatles stand out so much imo. It was my father's favorite band and I still hear them today. The songs just hit different, especially when hearing on vinyls
I KNOW it's one of the reasons I've always loved this stuff! I have a book of #1 hits at home, and each song gets a picture of the artist/band next to it, and a page about the song and such. Even though all the pictures are in black and white, you can SO see the hairstyles/makeup/clothing and therefore attitudes, changing as you flip along through it. And music? I'm not an expert, but I can tell right away if a song is ACTUALLY old or just written in an old style and recorded modernly. The old equipment just _sounds_ different.
Its amazing to see how music has evolved during the years, yet at the end of the day it’s not all that different. Perhaps the styles are more versatile and technology is more advanced today, but we’re all still human and we like and resonate with the same kinds of things no matter the distance between time.
@@user-js2dr9gv1u eh idk i admit the ”tiktok” songs from the last few years arent that good, but you cant say that all music from 1920s is better than these early 2010s bops
it feels like around the 60s the sort of “modern” sound arrived. it’s really cool to see the evolution, makes me excited about the next 100 years of music! also i like bts made it on there :)
@@thedoodoobrain8944 the Elvis biopic does a really good job at showing how Elvis changed the entire method of being on stage and what was acceptable, very similar to how Freddie Mercury evolved the interaction with the crowd years later
The last 3-4 years just doesn’t really have the iconic feel to them. Maybe As It Was. So it’s either two tings, not enough time has passed to have one iconic song stand out. Or not enough time has passed to view it as an iconic song. The only way is to wait 10 years and watch this video again and see if it stacks up.
i agree (except even As It Was doesnt feel iconic to me). probably because the way people consume music is changing -less reliance on stuff like radio / TV channels means not everyone is even listening to the most popular songs anymore. i've never heard Dynamite by BTS til now cuz kpop isn't my thing, and so i dont really end up running into it since i stopped listening to the radio ages ago
i agree, there's so much music out there; thousands of different genres. Since everyone consumes such personalized content now, there's no way for *one* song to make it to everyone's feed. Also hard for it to stand out amongst the billion others released each year. @@666meowth
@@666meowth thats exactly it. I never explore unless I make friends who introduce to me to new tastes. Even Spotify caters to me and I stick to my own playlists, basically consuming the same content over and over. Other than new releases and pop hits or whatever it just isn't the same :(
10/10 comment, as someone who pretty much exclusively listens to older songs I didn't even know the most recent songs at all (2020--) but attributing that more to just being too recent is fair. I also think a lot of what makes a song iconic is hearing it a lot as a child and having that ingrained in you so its possible I will just straight up never think of these newer songs as iconic because I might only hear them once or twice a year.
I don't think music has necessarily gotten worse in the last 20 years, but it's stopped evolving. Look at any five-year period between 1920 and 2000 and you'll see huge shifts. Since 2000... all the same.

Love stories and romance has always been super popular for the same reason. It's a powerful emotion

It's crazy how many of the old ones are covered or sampled nowadays. We've really been listening to 100 year old songs
In my opinion, sometimes you just can't beat the classics (I'm an oldie at heart). And I think artists just recognise how good they are and either record them to bring them back, or have just run out of ideas that could possibly compare. I'd like to think it's the first one more often than not, but the world today is all about profit.

This video is just one really elaborate rick roll.
The choices for current years will definitely change in the future I believe. Songs that rule the chart aren't always the most remembered. Like 1971 - Stairway To Heaven never even reached number 1 but is the most remembered now. Would be fun to see which songs are remembered in the future from our current generation.
Mr brightside
Oh and they blocked it due to copy right 😢
"Never Gonna Give You Up" wouldn't have cracked this list until 2007 at the earliest.
In 1981 my choir/drama group friends LOVED "Don't Stop Believin'," it was our song, but it wasn't as big on the charts as many others and it wasn't until The Sopranos, Glee, etc that people who weren't actually there began to think of it as THE song of that time.
@@Daniel-ii1ok It's guitar solo was voted as the number 1 out of 500 by Rolling Stones. That should give you an idea.
This will sound silly but I think I finally get why Elvis, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones etc were so big in their time. You go from decades of smooth singing crooners to music that still sounds modern in like a 5-10 year period. It must have been wild living in the late 50s/early 60s and seeing music change so fast.
The transition from 80s glam/hair rock bands to 90s grunge was just as abrupt. In a few years, bands that could headline and sell out arenas could barely sell albums.
Good point!
@@scottfossil7731 Nowhere near the same in my opinion. There was basically one kind of popular music the youth were listening to in the late 50s/early 60s: rock n roll, in the 80s the biggest bands on the planet weren't hair bands.

This really makes me think about the 'it was better back then' effect. In fact, all the music in this video is VERY good in very objective metrics, like complexity, presence of other instruments, cool rythms and stuff. Perhaps all the good stuff remains, and we forget the bad so we tend to think that before it was best. However, we are exposed to ... let's say ... not memorable music of only our era, so it is natural to think that it was better before, while it really wasn't.
Just some thoughts lol
Not to mention people tend to grow up listening to songs of their time, and learn to like it. After they get old, the music just isn't really the same as the ones they learned to like because music changes over time. Everyone says the music from before their age is old-fashioned and boring and music from after is just bad.

Man. The late 1970's to 2010 was undoubtedly the golden age of music.
The 1960s to now had terrible songs for the most part. Rap "music" became a thing, people sung about terrible things, (though this also happened in 1928) and the females in those music videos became so poor they could no longer afford proper clothing.

It's wild for me how suddenly music went from what seems like "old music" to "modern music". Pretty much 1960 and on, I was familiar with every song, while before that I only knew a couple. I also learned that the early 2000s are a complete blind spot to me.

There is a striking difference between music in the 2010s and everything else. Not just because of how poppy it is, but because the percussion sounds so much more polished. It was quite shocking to hear the difference between "Rolling in the Deep" and "Call Me Maybe".
I get that too
Thats mostly because they used electronic drumsets in the 2010s, which i dont really like because it kinda sounds uncanny but theres a niche for it
@@top_fin electronic is the standard nowadays for drums. there are hardcore bands that dont have drummers nowadays; only for live shows. i dont like it either, because everyone seems to use the same samples for their drum kits.
It’s because they aren’t real drums lol. They are just put on to a midi keyboard and spliced up so each beat falls exactly on the beat. Back then, it was real people playing the drums so it obviously wasn’t completely on the beat, because humans aren’t computers. Even when real people play drums now, they are usually highly edited in post production so they are perfectly in time
Disclaimer: I’m not saying there’s anything wrong with this. Each decade has a new technology for music and every single artist takes advantage of it to make recording easier. Like when artificial double trackers were introduced in the 60s, all the bands used it because it made it significantly easier to double track vocals

I was fairly surprised at how many of those older songs from the 20's and 30's have made a rebirth into today's music. It's not uncommon for songs of today to start with a different sounding version of something that's been out there for 90+ years. We just don't recognize it for the most part because the originals aren't something we'd have heard.
Besides Singing in the Rain and Unforgettable I liked the 70s and 80s songs on this video better, but that's just me. There's also a song "You Belong to Me" from the 40's that's really pretty, I like the Jason Wade cover more than the original.

I thought Somebody That I Used To Know should have been chosen for 2011 and Old Town Road should have been chosen for 2019. Thanks for putting this video together.
Old Town Road was 2019's song in the old video, my best guess is that they replaced it with Blinding Lights (which was formerly the song for 2020) so that they could put Dynamite as 2020's song instead.
@@Daniel-ii1ok pretty sure Hey Ya got another video on the channel taken down so maybe they're just playing it safe
I really thought Party Rock Anthem was gonna get 2011. That song was played everywhere and was always on the radio for the entire year.
I'd be surprised if anyone remembers that song 100 years from now
Nahhhhh u crazy if you think more people know that than Call me Maybe.
therapist: whats going on your head rn?

It’s crazy how in the mid 50’s music basically just modernized for good. Like after thousands of years of there being a lot more gradual change (albeit was advancing pretty rapidly compared to the rest of history) it just ultimately snapped and now the last 70 years have just been an unbelievably crazy roller coaster of sounds and change throughout the years.
I was thinking just the same. Crazy to think now how influential Little Richard and a little later Elvis were.
The Eurovision Song Contest started at that time, maybe there’s a connection in that sense too?
I think it has to do a lot with technology. The things we can do with sounds and instruments now are crazy. Think even just when the electric guitar was introduced and basic song mixing and things like that.
not that I'm an expert or anything, but I'd think it's because that's about when Rock music went mainstream, and that the things we associate with "modern" music are things that were first pioneered by rock stars.
Technology and drugs.
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
fr 😭 ngl probly my favorite decade for music but maybe that's just cos i'm the child of a former grunge kid lmao
I was born in '93. My 3 year old absolutely loves Zombie by The Cranberries because he loves Zombie the monster truck. 😂
FR i was laughing at that too
Yeah litterally a song about thousands of families torn apart by paramilitary groups fighting, and then instantly the macerana
Was just thinking this lol NOT THE TROUBLES
The Beatles is a very interesting band. Given that they recorded and published well over 200 songs one would think that they existed for a quite long time, but the band existed "only" for a mere 10 years. And not only did the band exist only for 10 years, during those years it changed quite drastically. It started as an archetypal 1960's rock&roll boy band, and ended as an anti-war hippie music group, and the outwards appearance of the members changed accordingly (eg. you wouldn't believe that John Lennon from 1964 is the same person as John Lennon from 1969. His appearance changed completely, from a 60's pop-rock&roll band member to a full-on hippie).
This is in contrast with many other long-lasting bands, such as Rolling Stones, which has existed for 60 years and has not drastically changed in that time.
totaly agree, they are my favorite band since i was just a little boy and heard yellow submarine for the first time, even me who knows a lot of them cant belive how they changed that much in such a few time, i think they are an incridible band. Im from Brazil and i can say The Beatles changed my life.
I agree you can see how quickly the change in say "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" and "Tomorrow Never Knows" released in just two and a half years. Truly changed a lot in a short period of time definitely my favorite band of all time no matter what type of music you like it seems as if they have a song or two of it.
yeah, to add to that, not only they showed up like 5 times in this list, but they achieved justin biever levels of popularity in way before internet ages, that's something crazy
When I was in middle school I hyperfixated on the Beatles which were also my intro to pretty much any music from the 20th century and so for a long time I figured they were the norm. It just didn't occur to me that bands would stick around for more than a decade, much less that they'd keep doing their thing that whole time.
The first three years barely count as well, that was their early days when they had a different drummer and we’re a small time British band that occasionally went to Germany. The time between the British Invasion and their international fame as a boy band, through to their break up - was six years. In those six years they released the albums with some remarkable progression in musical style and distinct personalities of the members. Given the modern day fragmentation if media I don’t think there will ever be another Beatles - the absolute tidal wave of culture they unleashed in such a small time was very impressive.

i love how diverse this is. music is loved and made by everyone. it truly brings people together.
This is the definition of not being diverse: it consists solely of English music, which covered only a very small fraction of English speakers at that time.Where there were no recognizable Chinese or Indian songs throughout any year?
@@thandepajito say this consists of only English music is incorrect there’s Korean + Spanish songs in there too. I get where you’re coming from but at the same time music with English lyrics dominates medias making it arguably more recognisable to the majority
@@thandepaji That’s simply because the it’s based on a survey asks what people from NOW remember as the most popular song from a certain year. It doesn’t pertain to sales charts or what people from back then remember. Considering that all music now is made accessible through the internet, coupled with the fact that pretty much everyone on the net can understand English, it’s no wonder that pretty much all the music here is Western. And even through sales charts and cultural influence, Western music just dominates. The best selling Chinese album only managed to reach 7 million sales according to a Wikipedia article. The best selling Indian album reached 55 million. While that does seem a lot, it only happened once, the artist who made that album didn’t even appear on the list again.

I love how you can also see camera quality improvement too
That’s generally true, but also remember a lot of these clips are of poor digital transfers of footage originally shot on film, which actually looks pretty incredible if you get a chance to see an actual celluloid print on a projector (save for maybe some of the clips shot on tape or early HDTV).
Always found it funny how we could acheive sharper picture with black and white film in the 50s and 60s, but still recorded on hazier coloured film through the 70s and 80s.
@@dreamkillertaco5953All 70s and 80s were still on film, digital only started around the 2000s
@@TheyLive1 You're correct, I'm missremebering. The difference in picture was due to the switch from purely black and white film to coloured films. I've changed my original comment to reflect this. Thank you for the correction.
Cameras have actually been very good for many decades now. Storage has been the problem. Videos from the 70s and 80s generally look better than the 90s for example, but that's because VCRs became easily accessible in the 90s. VCRs were cheap but had TERRIBLE transfer quality

This is a surprisingly good collection. The only thing I would had changed is replace happy with let it go. I think let it go is the most recognisable 2013 song.
One thing I find super cool about this is towards the end of each decade you can hear the sound start to show hints of what the next decade would be known for. For example Guns n Roses in 1988 are a precursor to grunge in the 90s, Lady Gaga in 2009 was a precursor to the super over produced dance tracks of the 2010s, YMCA in 1978 was the 70s groove becoming more cheesy and danceable like the 80s etc etc it's just so cool
This makes me both excited and horrified about the future. Never noticed that tho, that's really interesting!

@@creampuffsterIt's marketing bro. Even as simple humanbeings we create artificial boundaries called decades and memorize every decade with its own 'unique' style of music. Musicians (the industry, bands, artists, producers and etc.) are well aware of this and they just produce something creative, unheard and brand new at the end of a decade and create 'a new path' for the music industry in the new decade, thus claiming that they were the pioneers of 'that very genre' with producing such songs even before that decade came. Ofc this cannot be achieved by random artists and bands, only by those who are really able to direct even the music taste of crowds
bro just found out how music works omg
You can really see the way certain artists changed music like Elvis and the Beatles , regardless if you like them now as artists they broke though something and changed the culture forever. I recently saw an interview with ozzy Osborn about the impact the Beatles had on him “ it was like going to sleep in a world that was gray , and waking up in a world with colour.” His musics very different from the Beatles, but I love that quote.
Much more the Beatles, I’d say. Elvis really more for the popularity than innovation.

@@sankajuice you do realize that almost every single artist in the world has people that write songs for them, right? Especially now in this day and age so the fact that you are trying to label Elvis as the only person that has ever not song a song that isn’t originally theirs. It’s stupid.

As a younger person (someone who's in their 20s), it's crazy how many songs from the 50s, 60s, 70s, etc. are recognizable to me. Like, even the ones that were recorded before my own parents were born. Good lord, I can't believe Elvis's music is 50s music. My goodness.
Also, a black lady was the first to perform Ain't Nothing But a Hound Dog, but Elvis made it popular.
I'm in my 20's but I think I only know some really popular songs from 60s and before. And yes I think we take for granted the ability to record music and video.

Love the increase of POC
It’s really interesting how some of the very earlier songs, like Tiptoe Through the Tulips and Putting on the Ritz, have gone down in history because of later covers or versions.
It's also groovy that Minnie the Moocher was revitalized by its original artist in the Blues Brothers.
Music is truly a time capsule for each individual. I remember what I was doing and where I was as each song played on.
dang you old
@@kristopotamus yea bro. Harambe gave me life when he died.

The nostalgia. It's great being an adult but man do I miss those young years of ignorance, stupidity, and bliss. Here's to a wonderful past and a better future
Deven B
Brought back a lot of childhood memories and creates an urge to keep listening to the songs from before my generation
Tiptoe Through the Tulips, is recognizable almost 100 years later by young people, that's very special, there are literally well known songs 60 years later that would live to be less recognizable, which is an incredible feat.
well the ironic thing is that its regarded by Gen Z and Gen Alpha as a "creepy" song, and I will admit it sounds a little uncanny
I purely know that because of Fallout

It's crazy watching rock dominate for the most part until the mid-to-late 90s and then just drop completely off save a couple of exceptions. You can also see this with Jazz earlier on.
right?! but im still in love with 70s to 90s rock music either way 🫶🫶

wow
Well played
@@suggestagoodnameformeplz1035
You didn't see it coming. Truly.
“Horses, Horses, Horses, Crazy Over Horses, Horses, Horses” is an *absolute* BOP!!! lol
Kinda agree
The 70s will always have a special spot in my heart, the sounds were so distinct back then
That’s because it was the most diverse decade in music we had more different styles of music in the 70’s than any other decade
Depeche mode
Agree. Plus i also add 2000s to my list. Hiphop / rock / pop / edm all together with fairness. That was also an era where everyone could find great songs for his / her music taste.
The first round was surely 70s. Disco. Pop. Rock. But also ballads from prev. decades. And also tunes for upcoming 80s synth pop.
This 2 is by far the best era
Same with the 80s honestly
Finally someone like me, who doesn’t have the 60s or the 80s as their favourite decade
1970-1992 is golden era... Peak of music
Elvis, Eminem and The Beatles holding 2 & 3 years for most recognizable, absolute legends.
Adele too
nothing against eminem but putting him on the same level as The Beatles and Elvis is crazy bro

@@u_val7106 dude, people have different music tastes, and objectively speaking they are musically talented.
They may not be my favourites but I don’t think they are shit because it’s not my type of music and I don’t know enough about that genre to determine whether they are awful
@u_val7106 yeah do I love all music there's not a song get I've find that I hate some I don't particularly care for but none I hate
2020 the worst year and the worst song
Some people get nostalgic for a certain era and proclaim "that's when they made real music, they don't do that anymore".
But I think there's rather a constant increase in variation. In the early 1900s you could count genres on one hand. Now you could fill books with thousands of subgenres. Which is amazing, because regardless of your tastes, you can continuously discover new artists. For the future that will mean less shared "recognizable songs" though -- I have been so locked in my Spotify bubble that I don't even recognize anything after Despacito in this video.
I only recognize them because they're often in my spotify adds, lol

@@djc626 guess not 😂
seeing music and style change is so magical man
I KNOW it's one of the reasons I've always loved this stuff! I have a book of #1 hits at home, and each song gets a picture of the artist/band next to it, and a page about the song and such. Even though all the pictures are in black and white, you can SO see the hairstyles/makeup/clothing and therefore attitudes, changing as you flip along through it.
And music? I'm not an expert, but I can tell right away if a song is ACTUALLY old or just written in an old style and recorded modernly. The old equipment just _sounds_ different.
Its amazing to see how music has evolved during the years, yet at the end of the day it’s not all that different. Perhaps the styles are more versatile and technology is more advanced today, but we’re all still human and we like and resonate with the same kinds of things no matter the distance between time.
And 100 years from now they’ll say everything you just said
@@user-js2dr9gv1u eh idk i admit the ”tiktok” songs from the last few years arent that good, but you cant say that all music from 1920s is better than these early 2010s bops

The last 3-4 years just doesn’t really have the iconic feel to them. Maybe As
It Was. So it’s either two tings, not enough time has passed to have one iconic song stand out. Or not enough time has passed to view it as an iconic song. The only way is to wait 10 years and watch this video again and see if it stacks up.
i agree (except even As It Was doesnt feel iconic to me). probably because the way people consume music is changing -less reliance on stuff like radio / TV channels means not everyone is even listening to the most popular songs anymore. i've never heard Dynamite by BTS til now cuz kpop isn't my thing, and so i dont really end up running into it since i stopped listening to the radio ages ago
i agree, there's so much music out there; thousands of different genres. Since everyone consumes such personalized content now, there's no way for *one* song to make it to everyone's feed. Also hard for it to stand out amongst the billion others released each year. @@666meowth
@@666meowth thats exactly it. I never explore unless I make friends who introduce to me to new tastes. Even Spotify caters to me and I stick to my own playlists, basically consuming the same content over and over. Other than new releases and pop hits or whatever it just isn't the same :(
10/10 comment, as someone who pretty much exclusively listens to older songs I didn't even know the most recent songs at all (2020--) but attributing that more to just being too recent is fair. I also think a lot of what makes a song iconic is hearing it a lot as a child and having that ingrained in you so its possible I will just straight up never think of these newer songs as iconic because I might only hear them once or twice a year.
I don't think music has necessarily gotten worse in the last 20 years, but it's stopped evolving. Look at any five-year period between 1920 and 2000 and you'll see huge shifts. Since 2000... all the same.
