What Makes a Song Catchy, Anyway?
Wondering why some songs are more “singalongable” than others? Turns out, there’s some science behind what makes a song catchy or not! According to one study, the most singable songs tend to:
Hit some high notes.
Take a little extra vocal effort.
Be sung by a man.
Incorporate frequent but clear consonants.
Include minimal vocal embellishments.
According to the same study, the most singalongable song is…(drumroll, please!) “We Are the Champions” by Queen! (They really are the champions, apparently!)
