Τα εμπορικότερα σιγκλ - 174 τραγούδια από το 1919 έως το 2023

Ed Sheeran -Shape of You

Συχνά είναι μια κουβέντα γεμάτη κόντρες μεταξύ των μουσικόφιλων. Το μέγεθος της εμπορικής αποδοχής των τραγουδιών από τους σύγχρονους ακροατές τους, είναι σχεδόν προφανές. Έλα όμως που όταν μπει το φίλτρο σύγκρισης μεταξύ διαφορετικών εποχών η αντικειμενικότητα είναι ένα ζητούμενο, αφού οι μετρήσεις δημοτικότητας έχουν κατά καιρούς εφαρμόσει διάφορες τακτικές. Τα έχουμε συζητήσει και στο παρελθόν στη φιλόξενη αγκαλιά του site.

Καλώς ή κακώς στην άκρως ψηφιακή μας εποχή ο τρόπος ακρόασης και κατοχής του αγαθού της μουσικής έχει αλλάξει σε έναν απίστευτο βαθμό σε σχέση με την αντίστοιχη κατά τη γέννηση του rock and roll. Τόσο που είμαι σίγουρος ότι θα φαίνονται ως εξωγήινη τεχνολογία για έναν ταξιδιώτη του χρόνο. Παρά του ότι σήμερα πιο εύκολα από ποτέ μπορεί κάποιος να ικανοποιήσει την οποιαδήποτε μορφή μουσικών του ορέξεων το χάος που έχει προκαλέσει αυτή η υπερπροσφορά έχει και τον αντίκτυπό του στο ειδικό βάρος των επιτυχιών. Νομίζω ότι τα τραγούδια ολοένα και περισσότερο μοιάζουν σαν ορεκτικά παρά σαν κύρια πιάτα και ποιος αναρωτιέμαι μπορεί να κορέσει την πείνα του μόνο με κάτι τόσο ελαφρύ.

Πολύ δύσκολα στο μέλλον θα υπάρξει αναφορά για τις επιτυχίες του 2024 σε ένα flashback. Ακόμη πιο δύσκολα τα τραγούδια του σήμερα θα συνδεθούν με αναμνήσεις μια που χάνονται πριν καλά-καλά κάνουν τα πρώτα τους βήματα. Το παράδειγμα του Yesterday των Beatles μιας Νο1 επιτυχίας στον καιρό της, που έχει φτάσει τις χιλιάδες διασκευές (για κάποιους 1200, για το βιβλίο Γκίνες 1600+, με κάποιους να υπολογίζουν έως και τις 3000), δεν νομίζω ότι υπάρχει η πιθανότητα να επαναληφθεί.
Κάθε πολυκατοικία και μια μουσική επιτυχία που λέει και ο Γιάννης, χωρίς ένα μαζικό μηχανισμό από πίσω να υποστηρίζει, με σθένος και πάθος τη δουλειά των δημιουργών. Ψηλά γράμματα θα μου πείτε όταν οι όποιοι εναπομείναντες κυνηγοί μουσικών ταλέντων συμβουλεύονται την ανταπόκριση που έχουν οι συνθέσεις στο «βαρόμετρο» του tik tok.

Σε κάθε περίπτωση όμως σκέφτηκα ότι θα είχε κάποιο ενδιαφέρον, ίσως πολύ για ένα ορισμένο κοινό αναγνωστών/επισκεπτών, να υπάρχει μια λίστα που συμπεριλαμβάνει παλιές και νέες επιτυχίες των τελευταίων εκατό περίπου χρόνων. Ο κόσμος κάποτε μοιρασμένος σε μπλοκ, οι πληροφορίες δεν ήταν για κάθε εποχή τόσο εύκολα διαθέσιμες όπως στις μέρες μας. Επιπρόσθετα η κατανάλωση του φυσικού προϊόντος μεταμορφώθηκε με αποκορύφωμα την εποχή μας σε απόλυτα ψηφιακή, άυλη δηλαδή. Η λίστα που ακολουθεί χόρεψε με τον «έξω απ΄ δω», έβαλε χέρι στις πληροφορίες τόσο των πωλήσεων δίσκων βινυλίου, cd, κασετών, όσο και σε νόμιμα ψηφιακά κατεβάσματα και στις επίσημες μεταδόσεις ροής. 

Αφού καταγράφηκαν έγινε η μετάφραση σε σύγχρονους όρους, δηλαδή σε διαδικτυακές μεταδόσεις. Για να βγει το τελικό νούμερο ακολουθήθηκε ο κανόνας που εφαρμόζει η RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA)) του «150 επίσημες μεταδόσεις ενός τραγουδιού αντιστοιχούν σε μία φυσική πώληση». Δίκαιο ή άδικο πραγματικά δεν ξέρω, αλλά σίγουρα μια μεσοβέζικη λύση, για ένα όσο το δυνατόν χειροπιαστό αποτέλεσμα. Υπολογίστηκαν τα streaming του Spotify και των επίσημων σελίδων των καλλιτεχνών στο Youtube (Αύγουστος 2024). Όπως και στις φυσικές πωλήσεις οι ζωντανά ηχογραφημένες εκτελέσεις και τα remix δεν υπολογίστηκαν αθροιστικά στις πωλήσεις των στούντιο εκτελέσεεων των single. 

Ακολούθως δοκιμάστηκε το ανάποδο, όχι για να αλλάξει η σειρά των τραγουδιών με όρους επιτυχίας, αλλά για να παρουσιαστεί ένα αποτέλεσμα που μπορεί να γίνει αντιληπτό για τον άνω των σαράντα ετών μουσικόφιλο. Δηλαδή όλα τα νούμερα οδήγησαν για κάθε τραγούδι σε ένα αναγόμενο σε όρους φυσικών πωλήσεων τελικό αποτέλεσμα. Τέλος υπάρχει ένα ενδιαφέρον στατιστικό στοιχείο. Η ποσοστιαία συμμετοχή των φυσικών και ψηφιακών αγορών (νόμιμα κατεβάσματα) στο τελικό νούμερο για κάθε τραγούδι, αλλά και μεμονωμένα το ποσοστό που αντιστοιχεί μόνο στις πωλήσεις φυσικού προϊόντος.

Ορίστε η λίστα με τα 174 τραγούδια από το 1919 έως το 2023.
