My Music Project: 1989

Post by slick »

Like I have mentioned before, I have been working for years on a formula to find a correlation between Personal Opinion, Commercial Success and Critical Acclaim for songs from each year starting in 1954 running through 2014. I have over the past 10 years been setting up Spreadsheets and have devised a formula and am now finally starting to produce results for which I would like to share with the forum.

Here is how the 25 Categories break down:

8 Personal or Internet based year end lists including RYM
6 Commercial Charts: US, UK and up to 4 other World Charts including 1 US secondary chart
6 Critical lists: AM Ranking + up to 5 Year End or Decade End placings
5 Album based rankings: RYM, AM, US, UK & 1 other world chart based off the album that song is off of

Here are the Top 701 Songs of 1989 based off of my research broken up into groups of 200 which will be presented at different times.

Great Question!

Well, 72% of the criteria being used for this is going to be off of RYM (singles & albums), worldwide pop charts, AM & Critics lists. If a non-anglocentric song is going to register highly on any of these sources it will definitely become part of the overall project.

Overall based on the criteria used these yearly song lists I am creating are going to be highly geared towards acts from the US, UK and others closely associated. It will also have a stronger pull towards rock.

Some years will have a higher concentration of songs that are non-anglo than others. It all comes down to what is encountered throughout my research and stat compiling. But to answer your question there is not a specific international source used, especially one that had year end lists from 1954 to 2014 that would have worked with what I was trying to accomplish.

thanks for your explanation. by the way, I took a look at my own (much smaller) list and at some german magazine charts from 1989 and it seems like there wasn't much good german language music that year.
