Millennials recognise songs from music’s 1960s-90s more than new songs

MILLENNIALS’ RECOGNITION OF songs from the 1960s through to the 1990s is relatively stable over this period, according to new research. While the researchers didn’t establish what explained the stable level of recognition for songs from the 1960s through the 1990s, they noted that during this period there was a significantly greater diversity of songs reaching the top of the Billboard charts compared to 2000 to 2015 and 1940 to 1950. The researchers then plotted the recognition proportion for each song as a function of the year during which it reached peak popularity.
