I can't believe 'Thriller' isn't on this list. I'm not a big MJ fan, but that song was huge.
Billie Jean got place instead of it, you know they were in the same album, but considering the fact "Thriller " was out in 1982 and it swallowed the music industry, they should have listed it in 1982
@@jasurbeey_oo1111 if they can list The Beatles four times in one year than they would have did the same for Michael. Thriller may not have been as big worldwide as Billie Jean. It was probably number 6
This vídeo is not a personal choice. Thriller was released as a single one year after the album, by the end of 83. It sold a lot but since it was released by the end of a year, the total number got divided between 83 and 84, that's why it didnt made into the top 5 totals in any of those years.
@@paulosantiago7457 Besides, "Thriller", the song, was not a big hit, It was one of the last singles from the album, which everyone has bought already. It was the VIDEO which was groundbreaking.
Thriller is not good as you think when you have lesten every mj song
Not having Smells Like Teen Spirit in the top 5 for 1991 is a crime.
Yes
Yup
Bro I was going to say that
I was mad too
No nirvana
But for 1988 and 1991 no metallica
you know what a crime really is? No having put "God Only Knows" in the top 5 for 1966
Roy Orbison, single handedly protecting the world from being completely taken over by the Beatles in 1964
You do know he and George were in the same band later, right?
Hiso lo que Elvis no pudo lograr
Yes, until George's band finally took him over in the '80s!
Orbison was a strong influence on the Beatles.
I know I'm late to the party but I just watched this and I have to say the music after 2000 leaves me cold. I'm a 70s girl and I think I'll stay there.
The Beatles: 15
Madonna: 12

1964 was a turning point in music.
definitely, and it peaked in the 70s and early 80s
Then classy understandable, singing American hits. Now yelling, raunchy, low class, wild and uncontrollable thug American anthems. Time will show that later music gradually affected our society and communities in a very negative way.
@@lovewhitalways2010 doubt it. Maybe like Cardi-B type stuff, but like I seriously doubt it will greatly affect adult individuals.
@@lovewhitalways2010 We get it, you're old and hate modern music
So was 66 with more drugs coming into the mainstream
The Beatles dominating the 60’s is just perfect
The fact that the Beatles hold 15 of these spots within only 7 years speaks to how incredible they are.
(Also if we want to include post-Beatles material there’s 1 from George, 2 from John, 1 from Paul, and I guess Stars on 45 might count…..)
This list really shows the difference between what was popular at the time, and what's actually remembered. Some of these songs I've never heard, some I've heard maybe once or twice, and some are seared into my brain - and that applies to all decades.
couldn't have said it better, i always thought that the stuff from 70s-90s we know of today (Nirvana Led Zeppelin Doors) would run these lists but it doesn't, yet it sticks today.
@@arindam902 yea cause its called nostolgia and fantasizing about the past.
They didn't even mention Harry Styles or One Direction or Taylor...that's a crime. Can you tell I'm Gen Z lol
Exactly. Also proves that bad music has always been a thing.
@@arindam902 Ya, that's why the stuff witha rock sound isn't considered part of the pop(ular) genre, rock just doesnt seem to stick right away as much, the lack of queen, zeppelin, the who, bowie, elton john and other big rock legends is evidence of that
the absolute GRIP that the beatles had on the entire music industry, truly impressive
It will never be like that again! It was a perfect storm, new technology, post war hope, and a baby boom!
Elvis started it first. Before Elvis there was nothing. John Lennon
@@erwinv1370 "Elvis died when he joined the army" - John Lennon
@@celt67 ja sometimes John was right other times he wasn,t
@@celt67but the most popular Elvis's song, Can't help falling in love, was after the army
It really shows how much The Beatles took the world by storm. They literally owned the years in which they were active like no one else. Other huge acts like MJ and Queen barely appear, which is baffling.
Queen didn't have worldwide hits often, well-known songs of theirs like "don't stop me now" only reached the top 10 in 3 countries, did they have hits? Yes, were they big? Yes, but it wasn't a band about making "the hit of the year"
The Beatles dominated the 60’s
I had all Thier singles from the old dear 😅
Во все годы если уж на то пошло
All their songs sounded the same
@@kellymcquay2626how helter skelter', blackbird and while my Guitar sounds similar they are in the same album and not have any sort of similarities
I love how rock/metal occasionally slips back into main stream. Here's hoping it does it again this decade.
I'm glad we got Eddie in Stranger Things, he can bring/he brought a new audience to metal
@@furiousdzn3004 everyone loves guitar riffs lol
@@furiousdzn3004 u right, not just it but MGK (even with the fact that I don't like him or his music) can bring rock to the mainstream again. The genre never dies.
BMTH is doing a madness having performed with Ed Sheeran at the Brit Awards!
Me too. Right now deathcore is making a big comeback especially with lorna shore
The Beatles getting 4 of the 5 hits and only being infiltrated by Pretty Woman is so impressive
And on a four track. Amazing
It is amazing how quickly the Beatles took over the Western music chart and evolved so fast.
The Golden Age of Music 1965 - 1978
The Silver Age of Music 1980 - 1986
The winding down period 1987 - 1992
Aka slow and sleep
Fast and upbeat
RIP to good music
still exists. just silenced down by mainstream trashy pop songs
After 2010 definitely went down hill big time.
It really shows just how popular the Beatles were. The first year they were seen (on here) they make up 4 of the top 5 songs for the whole year
That's Beatlemania for ya
yeah when you listen to the songs that came in the years before the beatles it's like night and day, the beatles must have felt so modern and refreshing at the time, like music had for the first time been unshackled, something I'd assume the public didn't even know was possible until they heard The Beatles for the first time, how cool.
nice to see the evolution of music from the golden age to thrash
Keep in mind this is where the songs are in a world wide chart not just the US or UK, this explains the variation from the charts from the various counties we might be comparing this against.
Yes, it is worldwide from Mediatraffic
@@juliusnepos6013 So US, Canada, Britain, Western Europe, Australia, NZ, Japan, Korea?
I don't believe that "Beat It" or other Jackson hits were not in the top 5 in the years they were released

Split up in 1970 😂
@@jamesheath7601 last time they were together was '69, so they technically never did anything in the 70s
When it comes to music, I enjoy each era. I was five when the Beatles were on the radio. 60s and 70s music is classic, but I heard a lot of 80s 90s 2000 favs and beyond in this compilation. I just love 💕 music!
It was fun to see that around what year I started recognising songs due to my parents still listening to them, and it was around the 70s when they were very young. It was also such a great flashback to all the hits I used to listen to as a kid/teenager from 2005 onwards, I recognised every song from that year on. Hearing some of them brought me back memories, like Hey, Soul Sister by Train and Cheerleader by OMI. Lovely video!
It's a great seeing George as #1 for 1971 he deserves more
My favorite song of ALL TIME

Amazing group!
@@jonathanfurzeland4740 Where from are you Jonathan? Australia? 🇦🇺
didn't abbey road get to number 1 50 years later when they re released it for the anniversary
As a 18 year old I love The Beatles so much
I forgot how abba kept dropping absolute bangers across the years
#ABBA era:
9:57 Waterloo (1974)
10:18 S.O.S (1975)
10:48 Dancing Queen (1976)
11:00 Fernando (1976)
11:31 Knowing me knowing you (1977)
11:42 Take a chance on me (1978)
and there's much more worldwide hits:
Mamma Mía (1976)
Money money money (1976)
Chiquitita (1979)
Gimme gimme gimme (1979)
The winner takes it all (1980)
Super Trouper (1980)
One of us (1981)
and after 40 years have another hit:
Don't shut me down (2021)
ABBA are such a famous band
One of the best bands ever
I've done the musical twice. I know.
I think SOS is the best pop song ever.
I adeed to your list:
The name of the game (1977)
Summer Night City (1978)
I have a dream (1979)
Madonna is unstoppable with 12 entries, hitting number in 1986, 1989 and 2000. I honestly shocked that Like a Virgin and Hung Up didn’t even enter this chart, these two songs are massive hits worldwide
hung up was released late on 2005 , so it was no .8 on both 2005, 2006
Impressive. Mind you the Beatles managed 15 top 5 entries in just six years and many more as individuals thereafter. No doubt they are the GOAT.
*gives you kitten; Madonna has to be one of the most underestimated artists of last century.
@@dave55ides eu tb fico besto ,como os beatles eram bons demais
@@SiliconBong uhhh no
I was blown away by the effect Elvis had, then the Beatles and Stones. Then along came ABBA, which had quite the run too! Madonna showed some incredible lasting power, as she remained up there from 84 to mid 2000's . Pretty impressive. Curious how you can see/hear music evolve/devolve (depending on your taste) Curiously, in the late 60's/early 70's no soul from like 4 Tops or Temptations, or the Supremes made the top 5, nor did Creedence Clearwater. Interesting. No early 60's Beach Boys? Good Vibrations was one of THE biggest hits EVER! Just curious stuff.
It is worldwide though, the site it was based off was Mediatraffic which compiles all radioplay of countries.
@@juliusnepos6013 No really believable. Charts are always manipulated.

Just remember, every decade had songs that transcend its time. Even modern music that people seem to look down on now. If it is here, then a lot of people are listening to it.
Can’t believe my grandparents had the opportunity to hear all these songs in radio back then
As a 1998 kid i am shocked that MJ isn't very often in top5

It started going downhill in the 80's. Madonna was the big change for the worse.

Also suspicious minds was the #1 song of 69, I know I’m an Elvis fan but I’m proud of it. Not all gen-zers are into Harry styles
missing so much Queen it’s unreal.
youre right
Queen has become more popular now because of the film
Queen were at their best, late 70's early 80's
Not true. Queen were popular all around the world but not in the US. I live in South Africa and Queens greatest hits album is the most sold album of all time.
Exactly!
It's amazing the memories that are connected woth this music. I grew up hearing about 90% of all that music, and to remember the lyrics as well.
You grow up slowly 😅
Some fantastic songs. Brilliant 👍

Beautiful music
Just too short
Wow! All these years I thought "I'm Not in Love" by 10cc was a Paul McCartney and Wings song. His voice is eerily like McCartney's. I loved the song "Winds of Change" by the Scorpians, but I never paid any attention to who it was by. One of the most hauntingly beautiful Rock songs ever. George Michael had an amazing voice. What a shame the only one of his songs that made it big was one of his worst. Listen to "Kissing a Fool" or "Father Figure" for a truly romantic, beautiful song. And of course, "Hand to Mouth" was phenomenal. Some really great music here.
Graham Gouldman was the founder/frontman for 10cc. He wrote quite a few hits in the mid-60’s. Between 1965 and 1967 alone, he wrote "For Your Love", "Heart Full of Soul" and "Evil Hearted You" for the Yardbirds, "Look Through Any Window" (with Charles Silverman) and "Bus Stop" for the Hollies, "Listen People", "No Milk Today" and "East West" for Herman's Hermits
Yes. He is a brilliant talent. Don't forget Groovy Kind of Love, Rubber Bullets, Dreadlock Holiday, Art for Arts Sake....
Simplemente, ESPECTACULAR!

i know metal isn't everyone's deal but one by Metallica not being mentioned for 1988 genuinely surprised me
Who is this "Metallica"?
Metallica didn't hit mainstream popularity until the Black Album.
Both And Justice for all and Master of Puppets probably sold more after 1991 than when they were first released.
@@petercena9497 they where at the gramys to perform one In 1988
They multiplyed in size several times after the black album yes
But you have to be pretty popular to make it to the grammys and even if you are not you would see alot more attention your way afterword
That being said I still side with your statement of metalica not being on everyone's lips until the black album
@@Thunderbolt3019 Metallica didn't really break to the big mainstream until 1991 with the Black Album. BUT, that album did prolly warrant something on the '91 list, either "Sandman" or "Nothing Else Matters." But again, rock made waves more with albums than singles; if it were top 10 albums, Metallica would've topped '91, with close challenges from "Use Your Illusion I&II", "Nevermind", and "Dangerous".
The last 10 years are above my understanding.
mainstream nowadays is trash. its just radio pop. but good music is still being made
I'm an old guy now so remember a lot of these. Been a music nut all my life. What really struck me was how the quality of the music started to fall off in the 90's. There seemed to be a return quality in the late 2000's. But by 2014 there was hardly a single song I would ever want to hear again. No wonder I never hear anyone listening to the radio anymore.
I noticed exactly the same thing. Decline in the 90s, increase in quality in late 2000s/early 2010s, decline since about 2015.
