Rolling Stone has unveiled its updated list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.
The newest version of the 17-year-old list features more hip-hop, modern country, indie rock, Latin pop, reggae and R&B tracks and includes a total of 254 new entries. The publication enlisted the help of over 250 artists, musicians, producers, music industry figures, critics and journalists to shape the new list, with each individual sending a ranked list of their top 50 songs. Newer songs include Lil Nas X‘s viral hit “Old Town Road,” Lizzo‘s “Truth Hurts,” Megan Thee Stalion and Beyoncé‘s “Savage (Remix),” Drake‘s “Hotline Bling,” Childish Gambino‘s “Redbone” and more.
