Ranking the Most Popular Songs of ALL-TIME

---------------------------------------------------------------

Hey everybody! Thanks for watching this video on, "Ranking the Most Popular Songs of ALL-TIME". I recently stumbled across a list of every song that's been certified diamond by the RIAA. I knew I wanted to make a video on it but the actual list surprised me. It seems crazy to me that I didn't even know a song that's sold over 10 million copies // gone 10x platinum. But anyway, my girlfriend and I went through the list, gave our ratings, gave a rating for icon status/individuality/etc., averaged those out and here we are! What would be your top song/s? Let me know in the comments and thanks for watching!

Ranking / Every / Diamond / Popular / Most / Viewed / Favorite / Reaction / Best / Review / All Time / History / Ever / Lady Gaga / Kanye / Bruno Mars / Ed Sheeran / Katy Perry / Eminem / Queen / Imagine Dragons / Elton John / Track / List / Top / Worst / Justin Bieber / Live / Miley Cyrus / Lil Nas X / Weeknd

I have never disagreed with someone that much before, but it's still interesting to see how completely different other people perceive music

[jessenorman]

my phone died right as you said “i was packed like sardines in a club basement to see brockhampton...” and i had to spend the next 5 minutes racking my brain trying to figure out what brockhampton track could have possibly gone diamond

[unownunown]

Bro got the weirdest taste in music. Would almost hate on him but a few statements he made still got him the respect

[Vzzerdrix]

Lady Gaga at #15 and #2 is pleasing me and my homegirl and is a moment that is most pleasing to me in my career.

Extremely surprised thriller never went diamond

[thrownstair]

I don’t even like Post Malone all that much but he didn’t deserve to be lower than (the next entry, no spoilers!)

[rdq]

Really ironic how some “negatives” of the lower ranked songs turn into “positives” in the higher ranked songs. Smh

[kalbvulgari]

Having Queen as no. 1 in this chart was a soothing cure to all previous disappointments

[rse]

Uptown Funk is definitely an amazing song. The way Ronson mixed in those bass vocals is just awesome.

[tasmayshah]

I disagree with so much of the list but I watched through the whole video because it was very well put together and didn't feel nearly as long as it was.

[sorenolsen]

Putting baby shark over presumably all of post Malone's catalogue (since you said all his songs sound the same) is the most brutal shit I've seen in a while. But it wouldn't be fun without hot takes

[Winterhazemusic]

If Blinding Lights went Diamond it would probably be near the top of the list. Strange to think it's only 8x Platinum.

[Adrian-vetv]

Not all pop songs are meant to be deep, some of them are just made for people to enjoy. Not everyone wants to hear depressing songs right?

[kkelseym]

For anyone curious Imagine Dragons (3), Katy Perry (3), Ed Sheeran (4), Eminem (3), and Bruno Mars (3) have the most songs on this list.

[Colcatz]

Might be the worst rankings I’ve ever seen. Overall 10/10 video keep it up

[roblubluw]

Honestly, I thought it was a very bold yet intriguing idea to put the entirety of Total Xanarchy at the number one spot. Mad respect to you man

[milosjovic]

Bad Romance is pop perfection on the highest level. THE SONG AND VIDEO IS LEGENDARY

[jaydubmusiccharts]

This videos’ takes absolutely blew me away. For seemingly being rather analytical of music, these rankings did not line up with what I expected from this guy. I had to check to see if this video was posted on April First. Everyone’s got their opinion, just very surprised these ones coming from Alfo.

[vitorhonorato]

It's bizarre to think that artists that are massively popular like Adele, Beyoncé or MJ have no singles that went diamond.
Anyway, great video, agree with almost everything. I really like how you try to make as objectively as possible to come up with the list positions.
