My Personal Experience

As a music lover, I was excited to see the results of this survey. I have to admit, some of the songs on the list were not my personal favorites. However, I can understand why they were popular with so many people.

I did my own mini-survey with my friends and family to see which songs they liked the most. Interestingly, Heartbreak Anthem by Ava Max, David Guetta, and Tiesto was not as popular with them as it was with the larger survey group. Instead, they were more into Kiss Me More by Doja Cat featuring SZA and Peaches by Justin Bieber featuring Daniel Caesar and Giveon.

Personally, I prefer songs with catchy melodies and relatable lyrics. That’s why Good 4 U by Olivia Rodrigo and Driver’s License by Olivia Rodrigo were my top two picks. I also appreciate when artists take risks with their music and push boundaries, which is why I loved Montero (Call Me By Your Name) by Lil Nas X.
