Le rock band più ascoltate su YouTube: la Top 10 (e i Paesi in cui hanno totalizzato più ascolti)

The well-known US magazine Rolling Stone in 2021 has updated the list of the 500 most beautiful songs of all time.

The ranking was first published on December 11, 2003 and was compiled by a jury chosen by the editorial staff, composed of 172 musicians, music critics and experts in the recording industry. Subsequently, the ranking was changed twice: the first in 2010, the second in 2021, when 254 songs that were previously not present were added.

Obviously, there is nothing more subjective than music: these songs are considered the best according to the criteria defined by Rolling Stonemagazine, but each of us has his own personal ranking of the best songs ever. Here, however, is the Top 20 of Rolling Stone.

In the history of music, there are many singers who have also tried their hand at acting, including in Hollywood major productions.

Many musicians have also been nominated for best actor (lead and supporting), such as Lady Gaga or Mary J. Blige, but few have then managed to win the coveted statuette for their acting skills by entering this special ranking.

Here are some singers who have won the Oscar for best actor, lead and supporting.

From rock to metal to country and pop: many musicians have created new versions of historical songs, creating true masterpieces.

For many of these songs, we have even forgotten who the author or musician was who created the original version. Here are some of the most sensational cases.

Sia Kate Isobelle Furler, known simply as Sia, is a singer-songwriter who is highly regarded for her incredible voice, which has enabled her to produce hit songs such as 'Cheap Thrills', 'Chandelier' and 'The Greatest'.

This time, Sia decided to 'pull off the mask' by revealing her diagnosis during an interview.

Queen's entire music catalogue could be sold for an exorbitant sum. A CNN source revealed the news.

John Henry Bonham, also known as Bonzo, is considered one of the greatest and most influential drummers in the history of rock music for his unique and overwhelming style of playing. 

His artistry helped to make Led Zeppelin's sound unique: on each of the nine albums in the band's discography, the unmistakable talent and style of its drummer can be seen. 

John Bonham was born on 31 May 1948 and would have been 75 years old today. Sadly, Bonham died at the age of only 31 on 25 September 1980, suffocated by his own vomit after abusing alcohol.

In 2008, 'Rolling Stone' compiled a list of the 100 best singers of all time.

This ranking was compiled 15 years ago by 180 people, including several musicians (e.g. Bruce Springsteen, Rod Stewart, Justin Timberlake, George Michael, Keith Richards), journalists and music experts.

On 1 January 2023, however, 'Rolling Stone' published an update of the ranking that revolutionised the list, especially with regard to the Top Ten. As the well-known US magazine was keen to point out, this ranking does not only take into account technical and vocal abilities (it is not a list of the best voices of all time), but also the originality of the vocal timbre, the record catalogue, the writing ability and the musical legacy of the singers in question. Here are the top 20 positions.

Singer Céline Dion has been forced to make a drastic decision: all concerts until 2024 have been cancelled.

A sad but necessary decision, taken in order to continue the treatment she has been undergoing for about two years now. The singer is fighting a rare neurological disease that debilitates her and does not allow her to return to the stage with the same determination that has always characterised her.

Due to this disease, Céline Dion suffers from muscle spasms and stiffness. Although she had decided to resume her activity, the consequences of the disease forced her to stop again.

Find out who the most awarded musicians are: there are not only singers, but also record producers and conductors!

Sleeper Hit: this term refers to songs that achieved international fame long after their release as singles, months, years or even decades later.

Here are some of the most famous cases of sleeper hits, songs that reached success late.
