The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time

In May 2010, Rolling Stone compiled an updated list  which was published in a special issue and in digital form. The list differs only slightly from the 2004 version, with almost all of the new additions being songs from the 2000s . While a total of 26 new songs were added, the entire top 25 remained unchanged.
The number of songs from each decade in this updated version is as follows:
Decade Number of songs Percentage
1940s 2 0.4%
1950s 69 13.8%
1960s 195 39%
1970s 131 26.2%
1980s 55 11%
1990s 22 4.4%
2000s 26 5.2%
