top 100 songs... what are they

kevorkazito

Hello, I just came across this in a posting by Micheal:

"....good to get all the basic versions of the top 100 songs down"

I have been searching without much success to find a reference to what these tunes are.

Anyone have that list to share?

thanks

He has backing tracks at 100 & 150 bpm for a bunch of songs its really useful!
