TouchTunes’ Most-Played Rock Songs of the 21st Century
TouchTunes used lifetime play data from its jukeboxes to rank the most-played rock songs released since 2000, with Buckcherry’s “Crazy B***h” taking the top spot. The hook was a data-led counterpoint to Rolling Stone’s critics’ list, showing what bar patrons actually choose to play.
Why it worked: It piggybacked Rolling Stone’s list with hard jukebox play-count data, quantifying the critic-vs-crowd gap and naming unexpected winners.
The lesson: Consider scraping your own usage logs to publish a ranked list that exposes a critic–consumer mismatch tied to a current listicle.
