pretty interesting, but you have a lot of rouges that don't correspond with this therum

Nice theory, but scientifically invalid based on the video. We would need to take all top songs on the billboard charts and do a comparison that way. The producer of the video picks roughly one song from each year. Talk about cherry picking data. That's as bad as it gets.

@inmotion86 generally speaking I think this is the case.....the big hits in the 50s until mid 60's were very happy silly songs......same thing with most of the eighties and parts of the nineties.....70's music was much of the time drab, dark and raw
