Hey everybody! Thanks for watching this video on, "Ranking the Most Popular Songs of ALL-TIME". I recently stumbled across a list of every song that's been certified diamond by the RIAA. I knew I wanted to make a video on it but the actual list surprised me. It seems crazy to me that I didn't even know a song that's sold over 10 million copies // gone 10x platinum. But anyway, my girlfriend and I went through the list, gave our ratings, gave a rating for icon status/individuality/etc., averaged those out and here we are! What would be your top song/s? Let me know in the comments and thanks for watching!

singles didnt rlly go diamond before streaming, instead for the most part it was only albums that did. now that has been subverted (with the exception of adele) as a song 'only' needs 1.5 billon streams across all platforms in the US to sell 10x platinum but an album needs 15 billion. one is disproportionately more achievable than the other.

@Yojikudou03 Год назад

@@IMindfulOracle this isn't true though. Mark worked so hard for uptown funk, following Bruno on tour so it took 2 years. Mark says things sometimes that make Bruno Mars fans happy. Like the doh doh doh, Phil Lawrence suggested that and Charles moniz (audio engineer) made a bass sound for it and mark (in an interview) said it was Bruno's idea. I don't even know why they fell out, is it because Bruno got sued so much for plagiarism? When it was his song? Or that Bruno added so many songwriters to appease them for a song Ronson, mars and Jeff bhasker painstakingly made from scratch? Why? I constantly wonder about this. Mark is awesome I hope he works with Bruno again soon.

I genuinely think Bohemian Rhapsody is the best song ever made. It's not my personal favorite (though I obviously love it) but I think it's just so objectively incredible. It's a feat of music with the vocal layering and the storytelling that gets you to feel for a murderer and the theatrical, operatic feel that on paper should never have gone diamond like it did. I just think it's such a feat of musical ingenuity and it's so emblematic of Queen as a band, I can't think of another song that is quite as flawless and ingenious.

@@fbch32 linking the personal enjoyment of a piece of media to the beliefs of someone relating to racism, sexism, etc. is always a bad idea. I makes zero sense in almost every context. Unless the persons reason for disliking a piece of media is because of racism or sexism, there is absolutely no connection. I personally am not a big fan of female rappers, but that because all of them I’ve heard so far use the same modern rap style that I dislike. I also don’t listen to much contemporary pop. I dislike many male rappers and artists for the same reason. If there is any female rappers that deviate from the current rap style I’d be glad to listen to them. It has nothing to do with gender, I’d listen to a robot rap if sounded good.

Music that charts and music that sells is almost never the highest quality music produced in a given year. Music that is unique, artistic, authentic, and well crafted is most often ahead of it's time and the general public is not ready for it! This is what often separates art from entertainment. Art INFORMS the public, entertainment CONFIRMS the public's settled ideas. Popular music only gives the illusion of being cutting edge socially. Like an amusement park rollercoaster, most of the actual risk has been carefully removed.

There's an extremely hot take on party rock anthem and a placement that aged like expired milk with sicko mode, there's also Baby, which is sickeningly high up, and a few tracks that vaguely imply you would've been sleeping on the couch if you didn't rank them as such. Otherwise, I'd say the top 7 seem pretty bulletproof as good hits and there's a decent gradient from garbage to solid throughout.
