David Taylor of Prooffreader decided to look at the data of the Billboard top charts to come up with the most common words used in song titles from the 1890s all the way to today. What he found was rather interesting.

The reason he did it:

"The inspiration for this post came from my being too lazy to set my iPod to shuffle, and then noticing it played a bunch of songs in a row from the 1930s and '40s that started with the letters "in". Naturally, being a data nerd, my first thought was to quantify the phenomenon," Taylor writes in his post.

This is what he found.

1890s-1950s:

The 1940s-50s were in love with Christmas in their title. and performers named the genre of their songs in the title.

Then times started to change. 1960s-2010s

Things like we, yeah, hell, fuck and die were common.

Times are a changing.
