I thought it would be interesting to see what people are singing.
I pulled a report…here are my top 40 for the past year.
The first number is the rank the second number is the times it has been sung in the last year.
Interestingly out of the 3178 different songs sung in the last year, 1052 were only done once.
Since 2005 there have been 5295 different songs sung and 1018 have only been done once.
The all time most sung song since 2005 Is “Before He Cheats” having been done 594 times followed closely by “Sweet Caroline” at 574 times. There were a couple of maddeningly monotonous years in there because at least 500 of those times they were done off key.

KNOW THYSELF

Cool post. Thanks. Curious though. Could ya give a little better location. Maybe a step up from Earth, and or continent.

None of those songs (maybe 5) are what i'd call regular at our show. KMS maybe but not enough to be number 1, My Girl I cannot remember the last time that was sang. I don't have an actual report to give, but i'd put Bodies (Drowning Pool) or Du Hast (Rammstein) up in the lead over any of those. We get more of a rocker crowd that the standard karaoke crowds.
Now I did have an odd crowd tonight over our standard regs & did hear Lady & Wanted Dead Or Alive tonight.

Love seeing this list! I'm in a karaoke band in LA (Casual Encounters "Live-Band" Karaoke) -- as has been said in another post, bands are more restricted in terms of how many songs they can carry, so it's always good to see what's popular and what we should learn. Here's our top 40 for the past year; if anyone else feels like posting theirs, I'd love to see it!

1. Cee-Lo - F#$% You!, 89 plays

These are interesting lists, though I wish there was one additional piece of data present. How many different singers are singing each popular song. For example, if I, seattledrizzle, went to Lonman's show every single night for a year and sang Coca Cola Cowboy, then that might end up being at the top of the list, whereas suppose 250 different singers went to Lonman's show and sang Turn the Page. In that case, I think Turn the Page should be more popular than Coca Cola Cowboy because more different people are singning it. Not that I have anything against Coca Cola Cowboy, 'cept I'm a water drinker (not!).

That's a good point, and it's definitely a big factor in my list since we rely heavily on our regulars. I do keep track of different singers, though! Typing out 40 yesterday was a bit of a slog, so here's the top 20 with unique singers:

1. F#@$ You, 48 unique singers this year
2. Don't Stop Believing, 43
3. I Will Survive, 34
4. Santeria, 32
5. Before He Cheats, 29
6. Oh! Darling, 29
7. Radiohead - Creep, 28
8. Nuthin' But a "G" Thang, 27
9. Sweet Caroline, 26
10. Summer Nights, 25
11. Sublime - What I Got, 25
12. Hit Me With Your Best Shot, 23
13. Under The Bridge, 23
14. Sweet Child O' Mine, 22
15. Jason Mraz - I'm Yours, 22
16. Weezer - Say It Ain't So, 22
17. Killing Me Softly, 22
18. You Oughta Know, 21
19. Bad Romance, 21
20. Mr. Brightside, 21
21. Friends In Low Places, 21
