The Top 40 Music Lyrics Explained

By Jody Leach


It is often said that great music is the reason the world goes round. It is not easy to tell the best music though. This is as a result of diversity in taste among various people. For some people, loud is best, for others slow works for them. Regardless of what your taste is, top 40 music lyrics give you an overview of what most people love.

Songs are classified into different categories based on year, the artist, the genre or the country of origin. According to the year, you will find all the top 40 songs produced during that year. Sometimes, it is a period of five years or a decade. In other cases you may want all the top 40 songs produced in the last 100 years or the best produced ever.

There are different artists producing different songs. You may get the best forty songs of an artist that include all the best selling songs since he or she started recording. This category is usually for musicians with several albums under their name of course. Genres are a way of classifying music based on the type and are the most commonly used criteria.

Rock, RnB, rap, electronic or country is some of the genres in the present world. For instance, you may have top forty rap songs of all times which will list all the rap songs that sold highest number of records. Country of origin is also a category used in classification. UK songs are from the United Kingdom, US from the United States while those from around the globe are classified under International music.

It is actually possible to use more than one category in classification. As an example, top 40 rap songs of the last five years are rap songs in that period and there is also the best forty electronic from the UK. Top forty songs of love of particular year will be a list of all romantic and sometimes erotic songs of the particular year. Forty 2013 summer pop songs will include all songs that hit in the summer of 2013.

So how is the list of forty compiled? The number of sales the record is fetching is an important determinant. This is because more people buy a record that they love hence is an indicator of popularity. The higher the popularity the higher number it gains in the list. ITunes sales data is one of sources for this statistics.

Airplay is also crucial in determining the list. When people call in to make a request of a particular song, it is entered into a database. If a high number of people request the same song, it has more hits on the database hence gains a higher slot in a list. Downloads of the song in the internet is also used for these statistics. The last criterion is the numbers of people streaming the song live on YouTube and other similar sites.

Whatever your favorite genre is, top 40 will give you all the hits of the genre depending on how many people are listening to it. And now you know how to influence the rating of your favorite song. However, remember that the top 40 is always changing every hour as more people buy, download or stream.
