Here are the most popular songs on ultimate-guitar.com, a site dedicated to helping guitar players learn to play guitar songs.

Since sheltering-in-place for the last few months, I’ve been playing guitar more often than I used to. ultimate-guitar.com is a website I visit frequently in order to learn the chords and lyrics to new songs and also keep a “notebook” of songs that I like to play. I thought I’d check to see what songs are most popular on the website.

These songs are mostly user submitted and voted on. Many popular songs may have many different user submitted versions. I downloaded the most popular songs and aggregated across the different versions of the same song to get this list of the 500 most viewed songs on the website.
