So of course the current top 100 is mostly going to be songs that were hits in the last 5 years…those are the songs that were grabbing peoples attention just as most of Spotify’s user base was arriving.

I certainly would enjoy watching the reactions of any RMers who are hearing Dance Monkey for the very first time, though.

Dance Monkey was a real hit with my 1.5-year-old a couple years back.

Good, it should be

We can skip "Bohemian Rhapsody"

I don't think I could make it through.

I think the idea that we would start it and then watch people systematically jump ship in desperation is one of the ways the exercise could prove unintentionally hilarious, but...I understand

I can't run anything in April (and my next big project will be an Ed solo tournament) but I'd absolutely play along. I think it'd be fun and infuriating

This is an awesome idea and I would participate.

One song a day seems too intense though, and you're right, that would be tough for most of us to facilitate.

I think a weekly series would be much more manageable. It would give whoever runs it (could even be a few of us) enough time to update next song and it would give way more people a chance to come check out the threads and keep them going. It could even just be one giant thread with a title change and page reference each week (ex: Week #19 -- Sad!, by XXXtentacion [pg 34])

I know every song in the top 50 except for the XXXTentacion songs and the Saint Jhn song. What the hell is that

once a week seems too long (this is not a two year project), but a song every two-three days isn't so bad

I like the idea and I will help to run it

Two days, one thread.

Okay, how about we just run it by committee -- I'll start it, but anyone can feel free to move it along, just make sure to leave at leaat a day or two between songs. If it fizzles it fizzles.

Can anyone find that list in a more copy/paste/sort friendly format than the Wiki article? Would be nice to spoiler it in the OP

Let's do it

I wonder if the long blank gap at the end of parting ways affects its numbers

Like do you get credited a play if you end the track after the actual song?

Do you guys remember when the record came out and a thousand reviews described Parting Ways as a 7+ minute slow burner, because music journalism is a con?

Gerk!

Thanks for sharing this interesting breakdown of Pearl Jam's most popular songs according to Spotify. It's fascinating to see how their music has resonated with millions of listeners around the world. "Ten" certainly stands out with some iconic tracks, and "Vs.," "Vitalogy," and "No Code" have their own set of fan favorites.

Speaking of music and Spotify, if you're looking to enhance your presence on the platform, you might find resources like [url=https/]Streaming Famous[/url]. The way music reaches audiences has evolved in exciting ways.

Pearl Jam's music continues to captivate and connect listeners, and platforms like Spotify help amplify their impact.
