Song Titles over the Decades

I came across an article about some top graphical representations of data this past year. One is the "Most Decade-Specific Billboard Popular Song Titles 1890 - 2014."

2010s: We, Yeah, F*@%k, Die, Hell
2000s: Breathe, U, Like, It, Ya
1990s: U, You, Thang, Love, Up, Get
1980s: Love, Fire, Rock, On, Don't
1970s: Woman, Disco, Rock, Dancin', Music
1960s: Baby, Twist, Twistin', Lonely, Little
1950s: Mambo, Rednosed, Christmas, Penny, Three
1940s: Polka, Serenade, Boogie, Christmas, Blue
1930s: Moon, Swing, In, A, Song
1920s: Sweetheart, Mammy, Rose, Blues, Pal
1910s: Gems, Rag, Home, Land, Old
1900s: Uncle, Old, Josh, Reuben, When
1890s: Uncle, Casey, Michael, Josh, Old

My, we certainly have evolved, haven't we? Here is the article it came from.

Now I am curious how many song titles had just the letter 'U' in them for two years in a row. I found one in 2000: 'U Know What's Up' by Donell Jones, and 'U Remind Me' by Usher in 2001.

Here is where the raw data came from.

If you like the old songs from years gone by, you might enjoy reading some of those lists.

This is the 1950s, and I can hear most of those songs in my head, not because I'm that old, I've collected them on vinyl and CD over the years.

One of the young female talking heads on a Toledo TV News program is named the very same as you.

Wish I had the time now that I had then!

Well, hey back. It's good to hear from you. I'm just now catalog shopping for tomato plants and was thinking about all those lovely vegetables you brought us a couple of summers ago.

Can't post anything to Jon or Hobbie's pages. The blog says they don't exist.)

I've had that problem in the past, try clearing the cache, and I think I also deleted cookies, but I think it was the cache. If I think of what else I did, I'll let you know.

The list you typed in is obscure for me. Am I missing something? The 30 songs, however, do resonate, and despite my avoiding a lot of popular culture, I liked most of these as I was growing up. Public TV had a New Year's eve program concentrating on the male groups popular in the 50s and 60s. They all sound alike.

If you followed the links, maybe it wouldn't be as confusing for you. I'm not going to explain it in a comment reply.

I love the old songs. Did Patti Page die? She was an Oklahoma girl
and got very, very fat in her late years. I saw her show several times
and one time she came down into the audience and kissed my ex husband.
I really liked her and yes I am that old that the 50's music resonates
in my head.

She died January 1, 2013. Of all the decades, my favorites are the 40s and 50s, leaning toward the 50s.

Hear it is snowing in LV--we are only going to have a high of 80 tomorrow.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!

It didn't snow except for a few flakes, but it's cold for here, 40 degrees. Earlier yesterday was very windy, but it died down by time for the fireworks.
