Today’s newsletter is another mailbag edition of Can’t Get Much Higher, or the newsletter where I answer reader questions. We’ve got one fun question today that I wanted to write about before it was even asked.
If you enjoy this newsletter, consider ordering a copy of my debut book, Uncharted Territory: What Numbers Tell Us about the Biggest Hit Songs and Ourselves. It’s a data-driven history of popular music covering 1958 to 2025.
I saw you inspired a recent discussion in Steven Hyden’s newsletter about the greatest rock songs of the 21st century? What do you think are the greatest rock songs of the 21st century? Also, what did you think of Rolling Stone’s list that inspired all this debate? - Greg
