American music charts
Like in other countries music in America also evolved gradually. The amalgamation of various cultures saw the different styles of music merge and thrive in America. Jazz, swing, Rock and Roll, blues country, folk were some of them. The emergence of radio increased the demand for music. Soon Elvis Pressley became the well-known, best selling singing sensation of America. His music laid the cornerstone for development of music in America. A new way for promoting the top 40 songs emerged on television. During the 1960-1965, America saw rock bands surfacing. Rock music, Mexican pop and soul music came to light. From 1970 onwards interesting developments began taking place in American music. Disco music dominated the end of the 70′s. Many new stars were born during the disco age – Donna Summer, Bees Gees, Village people are some of them. Disco ruled the American music charts for a few years. American Music charts were then replaced by songs sung by Madonna, Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson, Anthrax, Britney Spears and others. Here is the list of some of their top songs. Madonna’s ‘Papa Don’t Preach’ released as a single is a very memorable song about teen pregnancy. The song had good lyrics and good music. Overall it was a great pop package made on a serious subject. It was admirable on Madonna’s part to compose a song for tackling a social problem. One of Madonna’s earliest hits ‘Borderline’ has great vibes. It was amazing how a hit delivered in the 80′s could hold up for so long. Michael Jackson’s ‘Beat It’ was the most requested song of the year 1983. It stood among the top 20 on America’s music charts. The song was sung on a full pitch making ‘Beat it’ a signature tune for the popular album ‘Thriller’. ‘Don’t stop ’til you get enough’ has remained popular even after thirty years of its release and is on heavy rotation at retro parties. Its appealing and groovy tune can make even a crouch potato the desire to dance. This song made Jackson a recognizable and biggest male disco artist internationally. The music video of ‘Black and White’ from the album Dangerous was very entertaining, this helped it to top the American music charts. The song was a fusion of rap and hard rock; this is what made it appealing. Some of the songs from the American music charts are timeless pieces without a shelf-life. You will still find people grooving to them at dance parties. Whether they are songs with a social message or about falling in love, the songs from the American music charts have always entertained us.
