How many of your songs made the top 500?

[Funky Dude]

I've been looking at bits and pieces of the Top 500 in those several posts Bernie made which he's asking for BPM for each song.

Anyhow comparing my top 25 to the lists, 7 songs from my selection made it in the top 500 and they are:

2 – Brass Construction – Movin’ 1975 (THANK GOD IT'S IN THERE THIS TIME!)
7 – Cerrone – Cerrone’s Paradise 1976
8 – Undisputed Truth – You + Me = Love 1976
9 – Jackson Sisters – I Believe In Miracles 1973
21 – Jakki – Sun Sun Sun 1976
24 – Eastside Connection – You’re So Right For Me 1977
25 – Double Exposure – Ten Percent 1976

As for the BPMs, sorry Bernie I can't help you there as I'm no expert on knowing the beats per minute in songs.

So how many of your songs from your top 25 have made the top 500?

A cursory glance says about 3.

[california mike]

18 of my top 25 made it to "the list".but i see a lot of songs i had forgotten about, that i could have voted for. oh well, next time.

[jim]

the ones that I expected to make it did.
The question is the ranking and what is #1.
There seems to be more crossover hits hhere then on the last survey.
and I was right
although a lot of club classics are listed here,there are more pop crossover hits.

Last time there were 116 top 40,90 top 20,69 top 10,and a mere 34 number one pop hits among the top 500.

This time around there are 149 top 40,117 top 20,93 top 10s and a big 43 number one pop hits in this top 500.

On the last survay the highest ranking top 40 hit Sylvester at #6 with Chics good times at #13 the higest ranking #1 pop hit.

The #1 hit last time Voyage Souveneiers peaked at #41 on the hot 100.

It will be interesting to see the rankings

Interesting Facts there:
Oh dear, not EVERYONE likes obscure records. I'd say this time around the top 500 might be a little more balanced and meaningful.
Souvenirs at #1 for Goodness sake!!! That didn't distort reality by a country mile did it?

[Blaxman]

It's not about to like or dislike hits. It's all about prefer the obscure ones.

For example, my TOP 25 contains many hits as like: Ladies Night, Good Times, Let's Groove, Love's Theme and others that I cant remember now. Nothing original as you can see.

In fact, I like many disco hits, but not JUST disco hits. If I got it right, this is what the major part thinks around here.

What I really hates is the disco sHITS!! :lol:

Peace
