Rolling Stone have published a newly updated list of their ‘The 500 Greatest Songs Of All Time‘ feature. The publication last published the list in 2004, but have since given it a total reboot. They said of this new list:
‘To create the new version of the RS 500 we convened a poll of more than 250 artists, musicians, and producers — from Angelique Kidjo to Zedd, Sam Smith to Megan Thee Stallion, M. Ward to Bill Ward — as well as figures from the music industry and leading critics and journalists. They each sent in a ranked list of their top 50 songs, and we tabulated the results.’
