Top 200 Most Requested Songs of 2012
| Although I do receive many requests for Journey “Don’t Stop Believin'”, it is not the song I get most requested song for this past year. For me, I think LMFAO “Sexy And I kow It” has probably been the most DJ requested song. It still bafflers me that all these years later, Neil Diamond “Sweet Caroline (Good Times Never Seemed So Good)” is popular, requested by young people and is considered a party song. In its day, it was a pop ballad that was more of a song that Folk Music and songwriters would listen to than a fun, party song. It was something that my parents loved and all of us kids thought was too ‘uncool’ to listen to. Elvis Presley “Can’t Help Falling In Love” is one of the most requested songs from young and old. I am surprised it is number 55. Same with Louis Armstrong at number 59 with “What A Wonderful World”, which is a very highly requested song. I think it would be interesting to see a list of the most requested songs from 2012 of the New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania area as a social and cultural comparison.
Which did you think would be in a different position on the list of Top 200 Most Requested Songs of 2012?
