The reason why Her Majesty is the least heard, is because the algorithms detect one heard when you listen at least 30 seconds of the song, and Her Majesty is 25 seconds long, so you need to listen to it at least twice for the algorithm to detect that you listened to it once
@@Franshela I'm brazilian, so naturally my English is not good. I've tried to AGREE with him saying that cause in Portuguese it would make sense, but in English doesn't. My mistake.
Keep this in mind. The Beatles broke up in 1970. 45 years between the time the band broke up and the time they went up on Spotify in late 2015. Their *least* streamed song (excluding Her Majesty) still has over 1 million plays. I think that says it all. Not to mention their *most* streamed song is getting closer to a billion plays. A billion.
@@braudabo again, for a band that hasn't released anything in 50 years, and a million is their LEAST played. Just goes to show that the music still holds up all this time later
@@disneyscott98 Yes. The Beatles' popularity will endure. Rightly so. About 40 songs with at least 100,000,000 streams probably don't even have many current artists (The leading artist, Taylor Swift, has 110-120 tracks over 100.000.00 streams at the moment, November 2022). Another video with a different Spotify ranking for classic artists, lists the Beatles in 2nd place, behind Queen, who most likely owe 1st place "only" to the biopic, along with, of course, "Bohemian Rhapsody", "Don't stop me now", "Another one bites the dust", "We are the champions", "Under pressure" and "We Will Rock You", by a total of roundabout 20 songs over 100.000.00 streams. This will surely be put into perspective over time, already not the most famous Beatles album right now "Beatles For Sale" is streamed twice as often as Queen's "Hot Space", which would have ranked under "also ran", but there is the mentioned "Under pressure"... This song alone has 4x as many streams as this complete Beatles album... This focus on relatively few songs distorts this ranking. Oh yeah, here's the other Spotify clip. Maybe you already know it. ua-cam.com/video/ajLAa6k3MD8/v-deo.html
@@braudabo of course Taylor Swift has a lot of tracks with that many streams, since she's current and a lot of people listen to new music through Spotify. if streaming was around in the 60's, the Beatles would've dominated, just like they did the charts back then.
George at no.1 he was criminally underrated by the majority of people in life and even in death most people don’t realise here comes the sun is his baby, just assume it’s Lennon or McCartney
George was criminally underrated by the majority of people* Citation needed. Most people just assume Here Comes The Sun is Lennon or McCartney?* Citation needed. Ever since I got into the Beatles in 1997 after the anthologies, I've noticed about the only thing people say about George is how he was actually very talented and underrated as a songwriter etc. After a quarter of a century of hearing this acknowledged non-stop by Beatles fans, does he still qualify as underrated? And if not, what would it possibly take for you people to stop saying this? I mean... good luck waiting for a video with actual data showing concrete statistical proof that his songs are actually among (if not) the most popular Beatles songs of all time...
They should have re-released it with Paperback Writer as a remixed double a-sided single in line with the Revolver remix release. Nothing else out there today could come close.
It's more impressive when you hear it played at its original speed on the latest rerelease, especially Paul's bass playing. ua-cam.com/video/P3IuNGxGVXk/v-deo.html&ab_channel=TheBeatles-Topic
After about #48 or so, every song could legitimately claim to be my favourite song of all time, depending on the day you were asking me. What an incredible band. Awesome - and unexpected - that the number 1 is a George song.
@@milescooper3525 George himself, too - I think Something is better. But 1)it's all subjective anyway and 2)Here Comes The Sun is a great track. Thing is, The Beatles have done SO MANY great tracks...
All of their Beatlemania songs where the whole world was literally passing out at the sight of them are their least listened to songs, and their later work that revolutionized music forever is more beloved and listened to. Crazy how Beatlemania, a term coined to describe the mass exodus of people from their homes to the feet of the Beatles 4, is topped. Only the Beatles, man, God. Love those guys.
The Beatles will always be my favorite band and important to me. But I feel their only revolutionary albums were Rubber Soul and Revolver. Those later albums were the best but the times were changing so fast, what they were doing on The White Album and Abbey Road wasn’t much groundbreaking to what was going on in the rest of the music world compared to when they released Rubber Soul and Revolver. Those 2 albums changed the face of music
It's also crazy that on the other hand he wrote the most played song and 2 more in the top 20, given that his contribution to the catalogue was a lot smaller than Lennon/McCartneys.
@@qasanoba well yeah no shit. I didn’t say all George songs were low on the list. But there were a lot of great ones that were in the bottom 20 or so, like it’s all too much and old brown shoe.
The worst Beatles song (I don't consider Revolution 9 to be a song). Of course few people know it because it wasn't on an album, just the b-side of a single.
Damn. You take out the covers, and the YS songs...it's basically almost 200 good to great songs. And in a 8 year timespan. Best band ever, and it isn't even close.
Lots of Beatles' fans didn't like the Beatles more experimental stuff. I did, but TNK is a bit outside for a lot of listeners. I think it's a fantastic song, but I think just above Revolution 9 for weirdness for many listeners. The Beatles didn't start as experimenters, and I have long argued that had the Beatles started their career with Revolver or Strawberry Fields Forever, they would not have clicked. The Beatles were very talented but also very fortunate that their audience grew with them. I knew several people who lost interest in them after they associated with the Maharishi and even after Pepper until The Beatles and Abbey Road appeared. They were very relieved when Lady Madonna appeared!
@@erik5374 Oh, it's a great piece. The overdubbed crescendo at the end was how Martin addressed Lennon's desire to have the orchestra "freak out"-which Zappa had already accomplished months earlier.
There were certainly some surprises. I think songs like Hey Bulldog and Old Brown Shoe did not get a lot of exposure because they are far superior to a lot of the songs that had more listens. Also, this video illustrates just how deep the Beatles catalog really is. I cannot think of any other band who has a bench that deep. Zep, The Stones, Floyd and a few other have a consistently strong catalog of songs, but still not as impressive as the Beatles. I guess that is why they are the gold standard 👍
I love Ballad of J&Y but I absolutely LOVE Old Brown Shoe. Its my favorite Harrison composition and I have literally never skipped it ever. Same with Anna and I Want to Tell You. Best band ever, I get fuzzy and happy just talking about the Beatles
after Anita got the "most heard music in the world" (even you doesn't knowing her at all and not being responsable for that) Spotify changed the way they count plays at some music. Now they count how many people heard the song, and not how many times the song was played
The birth of Heavy Metal was years before Helter Skelter, just listen to Jimi Hendrix and Cream, they played on Marshall stacks that became a staple for Metal.
I don't know the demographics of Spotify, but to have a group that were last together 52 years ago, have 39 songs with over 100 millions plays is quite remarkable!!
Here Comes the Sun will likely hit 1 billion listens on Spotify sometime within the next month (May 2023). It's at 985M as I write this on 2023-04-17. Perhaps an update video is in order!
@@thecountoftuscany3447 Yep, it just barely did both of those things. Twelve days after it crossed 1B, "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" also crossed 1B, making that the current oldest song with 1B+ listens (it's about 2.5 years older). And even more recently, CCR also had "Fortunate Son" cross 1B, so now there are three 60s songs with 1B+ listens on Spotify
She's a Woman was a #1 hit and it is at #200. You Can't Do That was also #1 and that is at #174. Some of those Beatles For Sale songs are also languishing in that low area but are underrated gems. Surprised Something wasn't even in the top ten.
yes it is is one of my faves, and some of those early Beatles too, What Your doing, Babies In Black, Hold My Tight, You Cant Do that, Tell Me Why, Rain,No Reply, man such great songs etc,
It’s crazy that in just a period of 7 years, all these songs were recorded. I seemed to have always liked their least popular songs the most. I Don’t Want To Spoil The Party, I’ll Cry Instead, I’m A Loser are among my favorites. I’m kinda surprised Here Comes The Sun is most played, you’d think Hey Jude would be the most popular as even the most basic listener knows that track. Twist And Should doesn’t surprise me like some people, I heard that song all over the place
' this boy ' ( 151 ) for whatever reason is my fave early tune , ' while my guitar' # 1 - I'm 73 : was so happy when the White Al. came out & the guys were back to playin their guitars..... good work
It's interesting to see what people actually listen to. The biggest surprises for me were Rain and Old Brown Shoe. Both great songs that seem to have been overlooked by a lot of listeners.
Just because its on Past Masters. If you search for a beatles song, the big albums are listed first. Who knows Past Masters, I mean it's not really an album. If this was in the 60s, the singles would have been more worth
Slow Down, Pepperland, and Long Tall Sally are three of my faves. Because I’m just sooooooooo original. The Original Masters, every Wednesday at 4PM EST.
I worked as an Au Pair in Bavaria for 2021. I always played Beatles music eith the kids bc the parrnts were fine with it, it made the time more enjoyable, and even with songs that have meanings unsuited for little kids the innuendos that hide them are pretty effective. I remember being the age of the kids I watched and not understanding some of the songs until much later. All that to say it put me in the top .005% of Beatles listeners in my Spotify Wrapped but the thing is I enjoyed every minute of it. I flipped between UA-cam and Spotify a bit so I got to hear so much of the Beatles catalog but still not everything. I also cant always place the names to songs despite having heard them what feels like a million times. I heard them mostly with the kids, so I wasn't checking my phone every second to see. This video is actually pretty handy for me in learning more about my own listening history! I also love "Her Majesty" as a diddy, it's a shame the melody was never used for an extended song, at least something more than 25ish seconds. Ugh the Beatles carried me through that year.
Probably because people are less likely to listen to it as an album since it's a collection of singles whereas they will listen to the studio albums in their entirety
*Fantastic list, in the sense that it can be studied and analyzed and it will certainly be... Because it inevitably says a lot on many levels about the Beatles' young current listeners, it is a fascinating and extremely interesting subject of study. The fact for instance that it is a Harrison's composition and not a Lennon/McCartney that tops it all, or that "Blackbird" is in the Top 15 could in themselves become great articles and analysis... And what immediately struck me personally is the fact that there's a gap of about 300 bloody millions (!!!) between the N°2 and the N1 !... Probably the most interesting and informative list I've seen in a long time.*
I love how The Beatles had like 30+ guest singers on all their albums. Surely the person who sang “Fool on The Hill” isn’t the same person who sang “Lady Madonna” or “Helter Skelter” or “Hey Jude” or “What You’re Doing” or “I’m Down” or “Why Don’t We Do it in the Road” or “Here There and Everywhere” or “You Never Give Me Your Money” or “Oh Darling”…. man they must have had a ton of people lining up to sing with them!!
I think all the Past Masters songs are so low because they are harder to find on Spotify. They aren't under the album list I believe, you have to find it under compilations literally at the bottom of the list. Sad because there are some gems on there
This is insane list to me. The bottom 20 or so are some of my favorite and most listened to Beatles tracks. I've always been a fan of their weirder stuff, but i didn't realize that my taste was so obscure.
@@ProshipAshton yeah I think it’s because Modern Pop and other modern music has been getting more streams even though it’s worse if Spotify existed in 1971 Cold Heart would have less than 0.01 Percent of the Streams Rocketman would’ve had today
Interesting stuff (& great work) -- surprised so much of Beatles For Sale (or Beatles '65 as we knew it back in the day) was at the bottom of the list -- a gem of an album.
Honestly the whole Let it be album is criminally underrated. I could bei influenced by the documentary... but I generally think it's one of their best albums
It's interesting to me how the popularity of the songs I value most seems to change over time. I guess because I am older, I remember when these songs came out, and I assume that a lot of people who listened to The Beatles here, are younger--and have their own fine tastes and their associations with The Beatles' music. As Long As Someone Is Listening To Them, I say! The world needs The Beatles. The more, the merrier. I'm amazed that the Money-Movers haven't figured this out, yet.
The reason late white album has so little is probably because full album listeners might not have enough time to get there. On the other hand, revolution 9 has been told by others to be deliberately skipped.
I don't want to scare you but consider this: Over a 9 month period, The Beatles released the album 'Revolver', then the double A-sided single 'Strawberry Fields Forever/Penny Lane, and then "Sgt. Peppers" - All these masterpieces came in JUST 9 MONTHS!!!!!!! If you ever meet a moron who says The Beatles are over-rated just point out this 9 month output to them and quietly walk away.
I personally prefer mid to late period Beatles but there seemed to be quite a strong showing for early Beatles in these rankings. I wouldn't have expected Twist and Shout to make the Top 10.
best thing about this video is there’s definitely a few songs i’d never heard in the first chunk and i really like the sounds of them. gotta start diggin around in the deep cuts. sad only a northern song is so overlooked, that’s one of my all time faves
It’s so crazy to think about how if George Harrison had decided to attend a random business meeting, we may have ended up in a world without “Here Comes The Sun”. A song that has become a symbol of peace and joy all over he world. I’m sure George didn’t expect to make the biggest song his band would ever release on that day. Hell, I bet he didn’t even expect to start making a song at all; from what I’ve read he just wanted to relax. Never be afraid to start creating if you’ve got inspiration. Who knows what you’ll end up with!
The entire orchestral section of the Yellow Submarine album is criminally under-appreciated, George Martin’s compositions are beautiful and paint a clear feeling of whatever’s happening in the story.
Great vid! When some of your favourite songs are well below 100 it really shows the consistent quality of the Beatles catalogue. By the way, you missed a couple songs released outside the main discography like Free as a Bird on anthology which has 11 million plays
@@imakevideosonyoutube The anthology definitely shouldn't count. Including side two of Yellow Submarine is questionable enough, but outtakes, remixes, live/BBC recordings, "reunion" recordings built around vault tapes of deceased members, basically anything first released after The Beatles officially broke up doesn't belong on any ranking of their official "cannon" recordings.
This is great! I didn't see Here Comes The Sun at #1 coming. Can you do this for some of these bands in the future? Volbeat Alter Bridge Breaking Benjamin Tremonti Metallica Halestorm Nickelback Bon Jovi

lowkey it may be its all too much tbh, its in a similar listening range and its basically a song that resumes the "LSD era of the beatles
Always my favorite song. Somehow my brain figured out how to be a hipster asshole for the worlds most popular band
Old Brown Shoe is underrated 😞
Literally listening to it on vinyl rn and I could not agree more
I think it might be because it’s mostly listened to form the blue album, not the remasters version one thus list, but your point still stands
True
so true
So true !
The number has gone over the 900,000,000 now, beautiful song.☀
Rain CRIMINALLY underrated
true!
I love how their second lowest count still has 1.5 million. Most musicians would be lucky to get that for their most popular song.
HER MAJESTY AND ALL OF PAST MASTERS ARE SO UNDERRATED
All of the instrumentels on yellow submarine are sooooo underrated
But I think those were just written by George Martin
Yeah and there's a reason for that
There a nice beat
The movie is sooooo good 4 best of all time
'Pepperland' is actually so good
'Do you want to know a secret' is a fantastic song. Every single note sounds like heaven.
'Martha my dear' is crazy good too.
That was one of my favorites when I was 15 and became a fan, I really liked please please me. I'm shocked that ps I love you was so low
She's a Woman was a #1 hit and it is at #200. You Can't Do That was also #1 and that is at #174. Some of those Beatles For Sale songs are also languishing in that low area but are underrated gems. Surprised Something wasn't even in the top ten.
And both top of the range early Beatles songs..
Thanks for making this list.
yes it is is one of my faves, and some of those early Beatles too, What Your doing, Babies In Black, Hold My Tight, You Cant Do that, Tell Me Why, Rain,No Reply, man such great songs etc,
It’s crazy that in just a period of 7 years, all these songs were recorded. I seemed to have always liked their least popular songs the most. I Don’t Want To Spoil The Party, I’ll Cry Instead, I’m A Loser are among my favorites. I’m kinda surprised Here Comes The Sun is most played, you’d think Hey Jude would be the most popular as even the most basic listener knows that track. Twist And Should doesn’t surprise me like some people, I heard that song all over the place
I love all these songs you mentioned
I’ll Be Back, Yer Blues, Love You To, Long Long Long, Mean Mr Mustard, and What Goes On are some of my other underrated favorites.
And this is why the are the greatest band. Ever.
Their least played songs are better than almost all music today.
If I see the word underrated once more I'm gonna die.
Such an underrated comment
' this boy ' ( 151 ) for whatever reason is my fave early tune , ' while my guitar' # 1 - I'm 73 : was so happy when the White Al. came out & the guys were back to playin their guitars..... good work
There are so many good songs even in the last positions. The beatles are simply amazing.
It’s amazing the most played Beatles song on Spotify is one of George’s! I LOVE IT!
I'm truly flabbergasted at the sheer number of singles from past masters on the bottom on this list
My guess is that people don't really think of it as a Beatles album, so probably forget about it.
The transition between I Me Mine and Your Mother Should Know was so smooth
It's interesting to see what people actually listen to. The biggest surprises for me were Rain and Old Brown Shoe. Both great songs that seem to have been overlooked by a lot of listeners.
Just because its on Past Masters. If you search for a beatles song, the big albums are listed first. Who knows Past Masters, I mean it's not really an album. If this was in the 60s, the singles would have been more worth
Slow Down, Pepperland, and Long Tall Sally are three of my faves.
Because I’m just sooooooooo original.
The Original Masters, every Wednesday at 4PM EST.
I worked as an Au Pair in Bavaria for 2021. I always played Beatles music eith the kids bc the parrnts were fine with it, it made the time more enjoyable, and even with songs that have meanings unsuited for little kids the innuendos that hide them are pretty effective. I remember being the age of the kids I watched and not understanding some of the songs until much later. All that to say it put me in the top .005% of Beatles listeners in my Spotify Wrapped but the thing is I enjoyed every minute of it. I flipped between UA-cam and Spotify a bit so I got to hear so much of the Beatles catalog but still not everything. I also cant always place the names to songs despite having heard them what feels like a million times. I heard them mostly with the kids, so I wasn't checking my phone every second to see. This video is actually pretty handy for me in learning more about my own listening history! I also love "Her Majesty" as a diddy, it's a shame the melody was never used for an extended song, at least something more than 25ish seconds. Ugh the Beatles carried me through that year.
past masters has SUCH bangers, why are they all so underrated??!
idk, Bad Boy is to low on the list, I thought it was at higher fame level
Probably because people are less likely to listen to it as an album since it's a collection of singles whereas they will listen to the studio albums in their entirety
Because most people are dumb and only listen to the big hits and famous songs they know.
The B-sides, they are classics, This Boy, Old Brown Shoe, You Know My Name, Yes It Is, She's A Woman, Don't Let Me Down.

*Fantastic list, in the sense that it can be studied and analyzed and it will certainly be... Because it inevitably says a lot on many levels about the Beatles' young current listeners, it is a fascinating and extremely interesting subject of study. The fact for instance that it is a Harrison's composition and not a Lennon/McCartney that tops it all, or that "Blackbird" is in the Top 15 could in themselves become great articles and analysis... And what immediately struck me personally is the fact that there's a gap of about 300 bloody millions (!!!) between the N°2 and the N1 !... Probably the most interesting and informative list I've seen in a long time.*
so sorry for those 54 songs outperformed by revolution 9
Revolution no 9 is probably their only bad song
Thank You girl is one of their best... Same with I'll Get You... I'll get you is in my top 10 favs
I like I'll get you more than Thank you girl
I love how The Beatles had like 30+ guest singers on all their albums. Surely the person who sang “Fool on The Hill” isn’t the same person who sang “Lady Madonna” or “Helter Skelter” or “Hey Jude” or “What You’re Doing” or “I’m Down” or “Why Don’t We Do it in the Road” or “Here There and Everywhere” or “You Never Give Me Your Money” or “Oh Darling”…. man they must have had a ton of people lining up to sing with them!!
In all seriousness, “Martha My Dear” not being in the top fifty breaks my heart. It’s been my favorite Beatles song for 30 years ♥️
@@thesilvershining It really is a fantastic and unique song.
What are you on about? The Beatles did not have guest singers. Paul McCartney sang all the songs you list.
@@44oblong I know he did, it’s a joke. I’m being ironic 😂
@@thesilvershining How was your comment ironic? (Don't answer, that's a rhetorical question). I don't think you know what a joke is either.
I think all the Past Masters songs are so low because they are harder to find on Spotify. They aren't under the album list I believe, you have to find it under compilations literally at the bottom of the list. Sad because there are some gems on there
Rain is one of the best beatles songs. The Inner Light is also criminally underrated.
Amazing spread across the greatest catalog
Dig A Pony is criminally underrated
I agree. A lot of people dismiss it but it's always been my favourite on the album.
In my top 15 at least
I could listen to "In My Life" for every day the rest of my life and not get bored of it.
Here Comes The Sun probably has over a billion listens this year by now (or Very Close)....Amazing.
Man you just took me back 50+ years. Thanks for the speed trip through memory lane!
This is insane list to me. The bottom 20 or so are some of my favorite and most listened to Beatles tracks. I've always been a fan of their weirder stuff, but i didn't realize that my taste was so obscure.
on the bottom there are also many songs from their first third of artistic life that I love
Wooooowowwwwowowwwww!!! SOOOOO OBSCURE!!!!!
The bottom twenty is more or less just some of their earlier B-sides and George Martin's Yellow Submarine instrumentals
@@dimwitted-fool Everyone and their mom are into black midi these days
I Call Your Name is criminally underrated. Probably my favorite early Beatles song. Definitely my favorite early John song.
loving everything you've done so far. would love to see either a Queen one or an Oasis one 😀
thank you man !!
queen ive added to the list and oasis will be uploaded in a couple weeks :)
@@imakevideosonyoutube what about Zeppelin and The Stones? I think Elton would be good to but I’m too scared to have see Cold Heart at number 1
@@vitamindeeznutz4102 if anything rocket man deserves a billion plays and i don’t understand how cold heart got a billion plays before rocket man
@@ProshipAshton yeah I think it’s because Modern Pop and other modern music has been getting more streams even though it’s worse if Spotify existed in 1971 Cold Heart would have less than 0.01 Percent of the Streams Rocketman would’ve had today
ua-cam.com/video/NO909NLM9yk/v-deo.html there ya go
who would've thought that a track from the most iconic album of all time would be the beatles's least streamed song?
before someone says it, yes i know theres a weird thing with the streams, so theres actually way more than 200k, but it's still interesting
Her Majesty listeners represent 🙌
oh we do😎
It'll have a lot more if it was 6 seconds longer
Interesting stuff (& great work) -- surprised so much of Beatles For Sale (or Beatles '65 as we knew it back in the day) was at the bottom of the list -- a gem of an album.
Honestly the whole Let it be album is criminally underrated. I could bei influenced by the documentary... but I generally think it's one of their best albums
Wow! That's way more songs than I imagined they had as a lifelong fan and I know most of them. Hard to believe any band could be that prolific.
It's interesting to me how the popularity of the songs I value most seems to change over time.
I guess because I am older, I remember when these songs came out, and I assume that a lot of people who listened to The Beatles here, are younger--and have their own fine tastes and their associations with The Beatles' music.
As Long As Someone Is Listening To Them, I say!
The world needs The Beatles.
The more, the merrier.
I'm amazed that the Money-Movers haven't figured this out, yet.
Best band I've ever heard.
Hell of a playlist!!
The reason late white album has so little is probably because full album listeners might not have enough time to get there.
On the other hand, revolution 9 has been told by others to be deliberately skipped.
I don't want to scare you but consider this: Over a 9 month period, The Beatles released the album 'Revolver', then the double A-sided single 'Strawberry Fields Forever/Penny Lane, and then "Sgt. Peppers" - All these masterpieces came in JUST 9 MONTHS!!!!!!! If you ever meet a moron who says The Beatles are over-rated just point out this 9 month output to them and quietly walk away.
In my opinion, all of their stuff from 1962-1966 is as catchy as hell.
They weren’t the best band ever yet ;)
@@enzocarranza how? The Beatles were the best band during 1962 - 1966 though. I don’t think anyone until Zeppelin touched them after they broke up.
@@XD-zt4if i get it, but i meant 66-69 beatles were WAY more superlative and that one is (for me) the best band ever
I personally like early 60s beatles stuff more than late 60s during tensions
I personally prefer mid to late period Beatles but there seemed to be quite a strong showing for early Beatles in these rankings. I wouldn't have expected Twist and Shout to make the Top 10.
I feel that many of the most underrated songs deserve to stand in the section of the most popular Beatles songs
Underrated as hell
the whole band, unfortunately
@@t3ll-LvG it’s literally the most rated band of all time
@@arcticfoxinsox that's a detail, brah

HOW IS OLD BROWN SHOE SO LOW! (Side note the amount of times I had this reaction to songs just says how amazing this band is)
all songs in the medley should have the same number of streams, who's listening to it separately ???
The best band in the history
is Queen
is not beatles
@@forizen7677 bro comparing queen to beatles 💀
@@forizen7677 Queen doesn’t even come close to The Beatles they’re still good though
I can’t rate bands like that but I understand your passion.
best thing about this video is there’s definitely a few songs i’d never heard in the first chunk and i really like the sounds of them. gotta start diggin around in the deep cuts. sad only a northern song is so overlooked, that’s one of my all time faves
Tell me why is such an underrated song
Fantastic song.
11:21 actually one of their best and most underrated songs
I love "The Inner Light." Can't believe it was ranked that low. Definitely a Top 50 for me.
It’s so crazy to think about how if George Harrison had decided to attend a random business meeting, we may have ended up in a world without “Here Comes The Sun”. A song that has become a symbol of peace and joy all over he world.
I’m sure George didn’t expect to make the biggest song his band would ever release on that day. Hell, I bet he didn’t even expect to start making a song at all; from what I’ve read he just wanted to relax. Never be afraid to start creating if you’ve got inspiration. Who knows what you’ll end up with!
The entire orchestral section of the Yellow Submarine album is criminally under-appreciated, George Martin’s compositions are beautiful and paint a clear feeling of whatever’s happening in the story.
Should totally do this with Elvis too one day. Great collection of videos nice job
Great vid! When some of your favourite songs are well below 100 it really shows the consistent quality of the Beatles catalogue.
By the way, you missed a couple songs released outside the main discography like Free as a Bird on anthology which has 11 million plays
ahh i completely forgot about anthology, sorry about that!
@@imakevideosonyoutube The anthology definitely shouldn't count. Including side two of Yellow Submarine is questionable enough, but outtakes, remixes, live/BBC recordings, "reunion" recordings built around vault tapes of deceased members, basically anything first released after The Beatles officially broke up doesn't belong on any ranking of their official "cannon" recordings.
@@briangonigal3974 Free as a bird and Real Love definitely qualify as canon, they were singles and featured all 4 of them
@@briangonigal3974 nah, i think free as a bird and real love count. (and side 2 of yellow sub most definitely counts, it was on a main studio album!)
I would've added One after 909 (anthology version), Cry for a shadow, Shout, You know what to do, Leave my kitten alone, I love them all
01:15 - _You know my name (Look up the number)_ - criminally neglected!
This is great! I didn't see Here Comes The Sun at #1 coming.
Can you do this for some of these bands in the future?
Volbeat
Alter Bridge
Breaking Benjamin
Tremonti
Metallica
Halestorm
Nickelback
Bon Jovi
Me either. But what really amazes me is that not only is it #1, but #1 BY A LOT!!!!
