I saw a blog where a person had listed their one to ten favourite songs. I put a spin on that list and made mine an alphanumeric list. This isn’t necessarily my favourite songs, they are however songs that I like, are alphanumeric and they fit well into such a list as this.

One by Three Dog Night – This is easily my top ten number song 

One by U2  – This is number 2 of the shared number one. One is still a good song.

Two Out Of Three Ain’t Bad by Meatloaf – Meatloaf said it: Two out of three ain’t bad.

Two Birds, One Stone by Drake – We move from two out of three to two birds with one stone. This is a long and complicated song.

Three Little Birds by Bob Marley And The Wailers – Bob sang 3, one more bird than Drake.

Pigs (Three Different Ones) by Pink Floyd – Pink Floyd moved us away from birds to other critters. Instead of three little birds there are three different pigs, the same number as Bob’s birds, but not just one pig, it is three different ones.

Four Out of Five by Arctic Monkeys –  The Arctic Monkeys don’t tell us about animals other than humans and the monkeys in the band name, but they are staying at Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino, which has a Four Out Of Five rating in the travel guide.

FourFiveSeconds is a song by Rihanna and Kanye West, with instrumentals by Sir Paul McCartney. In it, the singer tells us they are four or five seconds away from ending the relationship, like George Harrison and Ringo Starr when the Beatles were recording The Beatles: Get Back.

Five Years by David Bowie is “perhaps one of the best album openers of all time,” as Reuben Tasker quotes it on Genius.

It’s Five O’clock Somewhere by Alan Jackson featuring Jimmie Buffet – This is a fun little tune, nuff said.

Five Days In May by Blue Rodeo – A bit of Canadiana, they have been touring what seems like forever. On February 7, 1985, Blue Rodeo played their first show at The Rivoli in Toronto. They have collected pretty much all the hardware a band in Canada can receive, and they deserve it.

Six by Sleeping At Last – All this counting has made me sleepy.

Six Feet Apart by Luke Combs – This song has a bit of fun with the distance we are separated from the ones we love, six feet.

seven by Taylor Swift – Thanks to my son’s girlfriend, I am developing an appreciation for Taylor Swift.

Seven Nation Army by The White Stripes is one of the most easily recognizable guitar intros. It is fun to play on the bass guitar.

7 Summers by Morgan Wallen We end our journey through time with 7 Summers by Morgan Wallen. We have seconds, hours, days, years, and seasons 4 of them: The Four Seasons (Vivaldi).

Eight Days a Week by The Beatles It has the measure of time, namely days, but it is number eight on our list.

Eight Seconds by Teak See the comment above.

9 Teen 90 Nine by Limp Bizkit – generally, I wouldn’t say I like swapping numeric digits into text, but I’ll let this one slide by.

9 by Föllakzoid, I have grown to like this track more and more as I replay it and explore the band’s other offerings. It is interesting, I will see how well it ages. Check back here occasionally so see when I do an update.

10 by Misled Children

10 Summers by Ashley Singh We had 7 Summers by Morgan Wallen; Ashley Singh gives three more. I have no problem with more summers and less winter.

I am going to throw in some random number songs. This list is far from the definitive list of numeric songs. Gather your favourites into your list; it’s a fun way to stroll down memory lane and learn about other artists and their music.

Nine to Five by Dolly Parton

Five to One by The Doors

Five-One-Five-One by Dierks Bentley

O’l ’55 by Tom Waits

Five by J.J. Cale has the song Thirteen Days

Forty-Six & Two by Tool

25 or 6 to 4 by Chicago

16 Shells From a Thirty-Ought-Six by Tom Waits
