I have found it fascinating listening to a few seconds of each of the most popular songs in the world each month from 1950 to 2021. They say it might not be exactly accurate because of all the different countries, etc, but I find it very interesting. It is like looking at the story of my life, as I associate different periods of my life with the songs I have heard.

When I was a preteen, the Elvis Presley songs had a big influence on my life, then as a teenager I got hooked on the Jim Reeves songs. When I was twenty, I was forced to do military training in my home country, and I was shocked at how the people used the name of Jesus Christ in their language, so I quit pop singing and switched to gospel singing. If you are interested, I have a website where I promote gospel singing: country gospel and bible.
