Ever notice how many songs follow the same patterns? Join us as we break down the most overused song structures in popular music! From classic verse-chorus arrangements to the power ballad formula that dominated the ’80s, we’re exploring the musical blueprints that songwriters can’t stop recycling. Which one are you most guilty of humming along to? Our countdown includes the timeless 12-bar blues, the nostalgia-inducing doo-wop progression, the dramatic quiet/loud dynamic that Nirvana perfected, and those shorter songs with immediate hooks that dominate TikTok. We’ll even examine how artists like Queen and Billy Joel have crafted hits by breaking the rules!
