Top 500 songs of all time - visualized

Wednesday, March 10th, 2010

A radio station recently ran a survey asking listeners vote for their favourite songs, the result being a 500 song countdown of the “greatest songs of all time”.

Supernifty has produced a handy tool for you to play with the results, with a simple search function, charts of the most popular artists, and a breakdown by decade of the greatest songs.

Top songs categorized by decade

Can you guess who the most popular artist is? Wondering if your favourite made it? Check it out.

Although the results are in many ways a reflection of the listeners’ demographic, it’s still pretty fun to play with.

Announcing Supernifty Playalong

Sunday, March 8th, 2009

Supernifty is excited to announce that Supernifty PlayAlong is now available.

Playalong plays the song for you, while dynamically displaying chords and lyrics as the song progresses. It’s a combination of YouTube and the Supernifty chord finder.

It’s the easiest way to learn or practice a new song, or play along to an old favourite, with either your guitar or ukulele.

Easily move around the song with the video controls, and you can quickly transpose the song to any key.

Create your own playalong song for the Supernifty song database with the song authoring tools. Import either existing ChoPro files, or previously saved playalong files.

A number of enhancements are coming to Supernifty Playalong, including versions for the PC and Mac, and mobile versions, so you can play along to your favourite songs wherever you are. Stay tuned!

In the meantime, try it out! Feedback or questions are welcomed, especially if you are adding a new song.
