What is the greatest pop song ever written?

[Brave Volunteer]

I mean, it has to be this one, right?

 

[McDad]

There are about a dozen songs spanning several decades that I will listen to from beginning to end no matter how many times I have heard them. To me, those are the greatest. But not all of them are pop songs. Journey's Don't Stop Believing is not on my list.

 

[Orangeburst]

Dancing Queen..admit it, you crank it and sing it..when alone of course,,lol.

That’s a tough one , starting with earlier hits like “Don’t be Cruel “(Elvis) , “She loves you” (Beatles which by the way is the perfect pop song ) “I get around “(Beach Boys ) to later hits like “Take it Easy “ (Eagles ) , “Thats All “ (Genesis ) , (another perfect pop song) , “Beat It “& “Billie Jean” (MJ) , “Free Falling “ (Tom Petty).

I will say that “One Headlight “ (Wallflowers ) is probably the last great pop song that comes to mind .

An impossible question to answer

My top 6 off the top of my head (this is personal choice, btw)

- "Shout" Isley Brothers
- "Rocket Man" Elton John
- "Rock With You" MJ
- "Purple Rain" Prince
- "Mr. Brightside" The Killers
- "Call Me Maybe" Carly Rae Jepsen

Also, is "Don't Stop Believing" actually a pop song?

 

[zjcvols]

"Ain't No Mountain High Enough" being forgotten by me, JESUS, this is hard.

Whitney Houston - Wanna Dance with Somebody
Outkast - Hey ya
Britney - Hit me one more time
Rhianna - Umbrella
Lady Gaga - Bad Romance

It's an impossible question and there's way too many incredible songs to say there's only 1 GOAT imo.

Love Shack.

Not the greatest ever, but one of my favorite guilty pleasure tunes.

It's hard for me to be sure what qualifies but Call Me by Blondie would make my list no matter how many times I ran the simulation.

Lada gaga is a weird gal, I mean she wore a meat suit. That said, I love her voice.

Is "beat it" a pop song? If so, that's #1 imo.
