The editors at Time magazine have selected what they consider the 100 best songs ever… with a few caveats.

No artist was allowed to appear more than once (hence, titans like The Beatles and Frank Sinatra and Michael Jackson have a single entry apiece), the list is restricted to English-language pop tracks, and “all time” goes back only as far as Time‘s founding in 1923.

Also: Time doesn’t rank the 100 songs
