YouTube: Billion Airs Club

You Tube: Billion Airs Club

YouTube has become the 21st century’s version of MTV; that is, it is the go-to place for music videos. On December 1, 2012, “Gangnam Style” by Psy became the first music video to surpass one billion views. Since then, more than a hundred music videos have passed that mark. This page captures those videos in a ranked list based on most views. The numbers listed after the song titles indicate the number of views in billions. Note: if there are multiple versions of a song (such as an official video, a lyric video, or live performances) the numbers have been consolidated into one figure as long as all the versions are the same song by the same performer. Also, since I have yet to find an official list of videos crossing the billion mark, it is quite possible there are videos not included in this list. If you know of such a video, feel free to let me know in the comments section. Click here to see other genre-specific song lists. 1. Luis Fonsi & Daddy Yankee “Despacito” (2017) 7.740 2.

The Top 100 Songs of the Rock Era, 1954-1999: The 10th Anniversary

Dave’s Music Database: The Top 100 Songs of the Rock Era, 1954-1999 (The 10th Anniversary)

In April 2011, I published my first Dave’s Music Database book – The Top 100 Songs of the Rock Era, 1954-1999. In celebration of the 10th anniversary, I am prepping a new edition of the book.

Arthur Collins “Bill Bailey, Won’t You Come Home” (1902) Inducted July 2021 as “Top Vaudeville Songs”

This “early ragtime classic” RCG and “favorite of Dixie jazz bands” JA-22 became a “sing-along standard” RCG thanks to the ease with which it could be adapted to jazz or played on honky-tonk piano or banjo. RCG John Queen, a minstrel and songwriter introduced this instant hit. Arthur Collins, Dan Quinn, and Silas Leachman each took the song to the top 5 in 1902, but Collins’ version was the biggest.

Billy Murray “Meet Me in St. Louis, Louis” (1904) Inducted July 2021 as “Top Vaudeville Songs”

Haydn Quartet “Sweet Adeline (You’re the Flower of My Heart)” (1904) Inducted July 2021 as “Top Vaudeville Songs”

WHC Read more.

Billy Murray “Yankee Doodle Boy” (1905) Inducted July 2021 as “Top Vaudeville Songs”

George M. Cohan “virtually invented musical comedy” LW predating future musical theatre greats like Jerome Kern, George Gershwin, and Richard Rodgers. His first two efforts at Broadway musicals flopped, but his third attempt, 1904’s Little Johnny Jones, was a hit PS producing “Give My Regards to Broadway” and “Yankee Doodle Boy.” PS Billy Murray’s recording of the latter gave the Victor record company its biggest seller up to that point. SS Read more.

Billy Murray “Give My Regards to Broadway” (1905) Inducted July 2021 as “Top Vaudeville Songs”

George M. Cohan wrote, composed, produced, acted, and danced in the Broadway musical, Little Johnny Jones, inspired by real-life jockey Tod Sloan.

Bryon G. Harlan “School Days (When We Were a Couple of Kids)” (1907) Inducted July 2021 as “Top Vaudeville Songs”

The couple didn’t last, divorcing in 1913 (the second of five marriages for Bayes!), SF but the song survived. Both performed it the rest of their lives and it became Bayes’ signature song. RCG Read more.

Billy Murray with the Haydn Quartet “By the Light of the Silvery Moon” (1910) Inducted July 2021 as “Top Vaudeville Songs”

Edward Madden crafted the words for “By the Light of the Silvery Moon” around Gus Edwards “somewhat dreamy music that lends itself to soft shoe.” RCG Its “moon-June-croon rhymes” are “cliché by today’s standards,” RCG but were representative of the Tin Pan Alley era which dominated music in the early 1900s.

Sophie Tucker “Some of These Days” (1911) Inducted July 2021 as “Top Vaudeville Songs”

This has been called “the most important turning point in Tin Pan Alley history” because it was completely different than other popular music of the day. RCG Canadian songwriter Shelton Brooks originally composed this blues number as a waltz, but integrated jazz into the song’s loose structure. As such, jazz musicians had a wide-open pallet on which to improvise. RCG Read more.

American Quartet “Moonlight Bay” (1912) Inducted July 2021 as “Top Vaudeville Songs”

“Arguably the best moonlight song ever written,” PS “Moonlight Bay” “conjures up an entire lost era of a slower-paced America that…had plenty of time for gentle spooning in an unspoiled natural setting.” SS It is “a very durable song from Tin Pan Alley about an idyllic setting for romance.” RCG Read more.

50 years ago: The Rolling Stones played their first gig

In the summer of 1962, the London Marquee Jazz Club played host to the first-ever show from the Rolling Stones. At the time, they consisted of singer Mick Jagger, guitarists Keith Richards and Brian Jones, pianist Ian Stewart, and bassist Dick Taylor. There is discrepancy over who drummed – Richards contends it was friend Mick Avory while some fans argue it was Tony Chapman, who frequently played with the Stones in the early years.

Thursday nights were regularly slated for the Alexis Korner’s Blues Incorporated, but when they were invited to play a live broadcast on BBC, Jones persuaded the club’s owner, Harold Pendleton, to let his group fill in. According to fan site It’s Only Rock ‘n Roll, the group played an 18-song set. Check the link to see the full set list.

The group continued playing London-based gigs throughout the summer. That August, Jagger, Richards, and Jones got an apartment together. By the year’s end, Bill Wyman came on board as the bassist, joining the group on stage for the first time in December 1962. The next month, Charlie Watts – who’d been asked several times to join the band – finally joined up.

Richards says the group really considers ’63 to be their 50th anniversary since that’s when Wyman and Watts were in place. “We look upon 2012 as sort of the year of conception. But the birth is next year.” Jagger concurs, telling Rolling Stone, “We’re slightly cheating…Because it’s not the same band, you know…It’s only Keith and myself that are the same people.”
