As per usual, I excluded Christmas songs and children's songs from the video as they would make up half of the list otherwise.
“Recognizable” is based off of what percentage of people would recognize any given song as of today. Obviously this is all opinionated.
The original video still hasn't been unblocked after several weeks so I decided to make a new version.

@SeedOilFitnessOfficialI know it must’ve been tough trying to pick between somebody that I used to know and Gangnam style for 2012. Both were top hits from what i remembered that year
@NielsenNation2009 the year we lost king of pop michael Jackson 😭😭
@Content.100Roddy rich better
@liliththeraccoon3552000 really fell off. Hasn’t been a leap in music since
@Ballsofsteel5Singing in the rain never aged
@PhotopolySupercalifragicexpialidocious
@Paawani_4evaaSuprised there are no songs by the Supremes on this list considering how popular their music was in the 60s.
@rochknowles7287Why are the MV's after 2002 so sexualized
@L1GHT-r3e8:41 Can't believe death metal made the list!
@blueshattrickNO STAIRWAY! DENIED!
@joelshirey9121I think Baby for JB is more recognizable. I don't like it much.
