O jornal britânico “The Telegraph” publicou uma lista com as 100 melhores canções de todos os tempos. A seleção foi realizada pelo jornalista, músico e crítico Neil McCormick, e reúne grandes clássicos que marcaram gerações, como “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” (1939), interpretado por Judy Garland; “Imagine” (1971), de John Lennon; e “I Will Survive” (1978), de Gloria Gaynor.
McCormick não escondeu a sua admiração pelos Beatles, a banda de rock britânica é o grupo que aprece mais vezes no ranking, com seis canções citadas: “Let It Be” (1960), “Hey Jude” (1968), “In My Life” (1965), “Something” (1970), “All You Need Is Love”(1967) e “Help!”(1965).
Contudo, a grande surpresa da seleção foram as canções pop contemporâneas “Empire State of Mind” (2009), de Jay Z & Alicia Keys, “Single Ladies” (2009), de Beyonce e “Rolling In The Deep” (2010), da cantora Adele.
