Robin Sarstead with "Let's fall in love". Fast bits, and slow bits, and bits that sound like "Norwegian wood". Sounds like the sort of thing Doris Day could have sung in 1962.

Turns out to be written by Arlen and Koehler for a 1933 movie. A 2023 equivalent is "Turtle power".

Isn't going to make the top 50, which is a bit of a shame.

Cut for time: CAN "I Want More"; video for THE STYLISTICS "16 Bars".

The same thing that can also be applied to define what is anyway. Maybe according to Tingting's so-called boyfriend show , a popular song is one that surpasses 1 billion views on YouTube. But I'm pretty sure that there are so many people out there that have different indicator than his, such as a song with most streams, in other words, being listened by so many people on digital platform like (the likes of Mahalini in my country 🇲🇨) #1
