How Many Songs Exist In The World?

How many songs are there in the world?

It's going to be an overview, then a separate overview on the 10,000 songs flow, then the songs flow proper, then nickels, and case on the bottom.

I'll prove that there are substantially more than 10,000 songs, that the "turn nickels into 100$ bills then stack them" solves case while avoiding the "complete fetchin' tedious bullcrap" net ben. and cars are for losers who can drive.

Skipping the overview for songs

Onto the line-by-line: First, 10K songs is BS, extend "I sing over 9000 songs every day...even if it's just one line" from toothless kid in '10, this was dropped in the 2NR. also, xapply from the kicked cap flow that free market economies produce at least 500 songs a day - especially blues songs. Finally, let's do the time warp again!

Onto nickels - First, a nickel stack: http://www.dominionpaper.ca/files/domini… (wtf google images?) vs. a stack of cash: http://frommiddleclasstomillionaire.file…

Point proved. moving on....
Second, you don't need a car, you need to donate those nickels to a CERTAIN persons gas tank. ....not literally into the tank. finally, if you do get a car, it better be a delorian.

Sorry i don't have time for case, but it's all defense. I would now really enjoy it if you dramatically threw down your case flow out of frustration, judge. GG

Where can I find this song if it exists?

It's the rap song the asian girls were singing in Blade when he was pursuing someone into the club. it's not in the soundtrack and I can't find it anywhere.

How many songs are there in the world?

I can't say the exact digits. But Lets think like this. There is roughly 7,000,000,000 people in Earth. (just googled). So lets think 5% are musicians.(assumption). Then the answer is 350,000,000. Now lets assume they have release an avg of 250 songs. Then it would be 87,500,000,000 songs. Could be more and I only considered the recent time period.Open for conversation.

How many songs exist right now?

We’ll want to develop a nice underestimate, solet’s assume that people started writing music 1500 years agothere were ~1 billion people back thenwe can see from looking at songs on youtube vs total watchers that 64.2% of people write a song a yearthe population of humanity has grown by a consistent 2.1x since 1500 years agoSo, doing some calculus to account for the total population and seeing how the total number of songs has increased over time, we can safely assume there are AT LEAST:3,012 songs, right now as of 5/4/2018

How many songs have been made?

I think Fergus overstates the number significantly.  There haven't even been trillions of people, let alone trillions of songs.  The reason why the number of people is significant is because only a small percentage of people have been songwriters, and while some songwriters are very prolific, others are less so, and many performers simply play the songs of others and not original songs and thus do not add to the total number.A rough estimate of the number of people ever born sits at around 107.6 billion, only 6.5% of whom are alive today.   How Many People Have Ever Lived on Earth?Now let's try and estimate the number of those people who write songs.   There are some numbers here of people who have registered as composers and songwriters for purposes of royalties: How Many Musicians Are There? Starting there, let's say that there are currently around 1 million songwriters alive that we know about.  If we use the same percentage as above, we can guess that there have been about 15.3 million songwriters ever.  This may be generous, as it ignores the issue of whether being a songwriter was an economically viable option for most of history, but it might also be stingy as it ignores all the songwriters we don't currently know about who write songs without registering them anywhere.So lets just round that number up to 20 million songwriters ever.  Now let's try and figure out how many songs they could write.  There are very prolific people who have written over a thousand songs, and there are those who may have only written a few dozen.  The amount talked about by these folks varies, but I think it gives us a good range to work with of about 10 - 20 songs in a year. SONGWRITERS: "How many songs do you write per year" ?The length of a career can vary greatly of course, let's say anywhere from 5 to 50 years, giving us a range of 50 to 1000 songs.   This would put the total number of songs somewhere between 1 and 20 billion.  I would put my guess towards the lower end of that scale as I think the median number of songs per artist would probably be in the 100 - 250 range.  So my answer to this question is:  Somewhere in the neighborhood of 2 - 5 billion.

How many bands are there in the world?

There are about 7,000,000 bands on Myspace(a recent survey was conducted). So, there might be around 8,000,000. Out of which 7,999,000 Suck.

Why are there so many love songs ?

Music is used to express emotion, the most common, confusing AND relateable emotion is love, so while yes it does sell, it's also a common denominator that unites us all as humans, it's just the most common thing to sing about.

Also, in a way, your song about "a friend moving away and she's all you ever known" --Wouldn't that classify as love?

Music is used to express the complex emotion of love in a form that is simpler than trying to explain it with words, and yet, simultaneously just as complex as the emotion itself due to the feeling evoked by the music.

How many songs can be created?

Mathematically there are 82,500,000,000,000,000,000 (eighty two and one half SEXTILLION) possible 10 note melodies.But the answer is much larger than that 6 comma number written above, as there are definitely songs that have the same melody.How the Songwriter and artist (band, conductor, solo artist, etc.) incorporate that melody into a performable or recordable work only increases the possible total number of songs that can be created.That pushes the 82,500,000,000,000,000,000 into exponent notation which essentially means there's an “infinite” number of possibilities.How many melodies are there?
