A while ago I posted an entry about Top 40 pop songs . I talked about their chord progressions, and specifically about how a certain one comes up all the time. There's a video that's been making the rounds on the net that actually highlights this even more.
In fact, as I perused youtube, I found lots more videos based on this chord progression, so I'll probably revisit this topic again.
So without further ado, here it is:
Also, I had a great response with a great video (to the last entry on this topic), so I'll share it too. A comedian's take on this whole idea of recycled chord progressions. It's based on Pachelbel's Canon in D, which isn't exactly the same chord progression I mentioned, but it's really close:
T, can you please put together a list of 15 or so songs which have this chord progression but do it uniquely? I would love to hear how differently various artists have made this sound. Thanks!

ReplyDeleteI'll do that in the near future.
Thanks for the suggestion!
