You know those songs that seem to pop up in every other TV show and movie? Some of them aren't as prevalent as you think they are. But THESE are the 10 songs that have appeared the most:
1. "This Is How We Do It", Montell Jordan: 52 film and TV appearances.
2. "Push It", Salt-N-Pepa: 50 film and TV appearances.
3. "At Last", Etta James: 49 film and TV appearances.
4. "Fix You", Coldplay: 42 film and TV appearances.
5. "Fade Into You", Mazzy Star: 41 film and TV appearances.
6. (tie) "September", Earth, Wind and Fire: 39 film and TV appearances.
6. (tie) "Tubthumping", Chumbawamba: 39 film and TV appearances.
8. (tie) "Walking on Sunshine", Katrina & the Waves: 38 film and TV appearances.
8. (tie) "Let's Get It On", Marvin Gaye: 38 film and TV appearances.
10. "Escape (The Pina Colada Song)", Rupert Holmes: 36 film and TV appearances.
Here's another interesting stat: Since the 1950s, the decade whose music has been used the MOST in movies and TV shows is THE EIGHTIES.
The worst-performing decade is the 2020s, which makes sense since it's only half over. It's followed by the '50s and, for some reason, the 2000s.
Was the music from that decade really that bad? I mean, Nickelback's "How You Remind Me"? "My Humps" by the Black Eyed Peas? Kid Rock's "All Summer Long"?
Okay forget it . . . I think I just answered that question.
