Top 10 Songs in the world
Everyone has a song in their life. All have one, if not dozens: a memorable love song, the best wedding song, breakup, or friendship song. Music is the first thing that springs to mind when someone hears the term ‘Song.’ Whether a toddler, a child, or an adult, everyone listens to music, whether it is rock, pop, romantic, or EDM. With the mobility and accessibility of music nowadays, it has become easier for everyone to enjoy music whenever and wherever. There’s a playlist for every emotion, a song for each occasion that lasts with memories. Millions of songs are released in various categories and genres worldwide every year. Songs from a previous generation are sometimes forgotten as new cool songs emerge.
