quote [ I have a theory: No Diggity by Blackstreet is timeless. If Frank Sinatra is timeless in 2015, so too is No Diggity in 2050, fondly remembered by our children's children as the icon of the 90s. And I think that I can prove it. ]
Lots of fun graphs and data!

"Let It Be", "Yesterday", and "Hey Jude" have a combined less than 1,000 Spotify playcounts.
'Timelessness' is one of the things you can demonstrably *not* drag out of these stats. |

As the article notes, there are a number of artists not on Spotify, most notably the Beatles, so it's not a truly representative list. However, I recognize a lot of the songs from before 2000, so it looks like the methodology is fairly valid.
It also reminds me of how much I've lost touch with pop music in the last 15 years - I recognized almost none of the songs from the 00's. Guess it's just a sign I'm getting old. |

Admittedly, the naughts were a pretty terrible time for formulaic, cookie cutter pop.
