If you had to guess this, you might go for an old classic from Michael Jackson, maybe a Beatles song, or even a Queen track, but we doubt you'd guess this one.
We'll tell you first that it’s a Disney song. And no it’s not 'Let It Go' from Frozen.
The most popular song in the world is 'It's a Small World'. If you haven't been to Disneyland then you may not be familiar with it, so you can give it a listen below:
The song was written in 1962. It’s the soundtrack to one of the most famous Disney attractions.
The song was born after Walt Disney conducted a walk-through of the attraction and said:
“I need one song that can be easily translated into many languages and be played as a round.”
Across three continents, the song has been played over 50 million times since the ride first opened in 1966.
The information comes after The Exists discovered that Natalie Imbruglia’s song ‘Torn’ has been played over 75 times a day on Australian radio over a ten-year period, so they decided to look into what the most popular song in the world is.
Well, that was underwhelming...
