Where To Watch
Was this a chart-topping pop song in 1969 or 2019?
Travel down the "Old Town Road" to the age of "Aquarius."
In 1969, it was hard to scan through the radio dial without hearing "Aquarius/Let the Sunshine In." This year, "Old Town Road" seemed to be thumping inside every car and sports arena.
You can certainly hear the difference between the pop music of then and now — but can you read the difference?
Below, we've gathered the titles of huge hits from 2019 and fifty years ago. All but one of them were No. 1 smashes.
Can you put them into the correct era?

You got 12 out of 16
14/16
"...And his Momma cry's..." - Elvis Presley. 12/16.
16/16. Love most of the '69 ones, can barely tolerate most of the '19 ones.
Never heard of the song in the year 2525
You're not missing anything. Mama would listen to the oldies station when we were growing up and I hated that song.
15 out of 16
16/16. This one was easy. If I never heard of the song, I clicked on 2019. I was right every time.
Good thinking dude!
Very easy. If I recognized the song, 1969. If I didn't, 2019.
I stopped listening to pop music about 20 years ago.

"Pop Music" - M. "This is POP" - XTC. "Heavenly Pop Hit" - The Chills (Kiwi Pop) "Pop Goes The World" - Men Without Hats.
16/16. I've never heard of any of the 2019 songs but I've heard of all of the 1969 songs, so I just voted 2019 if it was something I never heard of.
Exactly what I did. The 1969 songs all obviously we're #1 hits and have been played basically daily for 50 years.
13 out of 16. I mostly listen to 80s music.
16/16. But graduated HS in 1969
Good Morning
Easy if I didn't know the song it was for 2019.
11/16
I nailed it !
14/16 not too bad
That was fairly easy. If I haven't heard of a song, it must be 2019
15/16, not too bad.
12 out of 16...bad showing this time. :-(
''You got 13 out of 16'' -----------------Has pop music changed since 1969? Yes. Yes, it has.
