The most covered song
Posted: Sun Dec 11, 2005 12:23 am
Which Cohen song has been recorded most often by other artists?
This is a question people keep on asking in their emails. I added
some Hallelujah covers to the listings and checked today's score.
Hallelujah is, there is no doubt, very popular right now, but it still has
long way to go! We have found "only" 77 covers of Hallelujah
- and 142 of Suzanne! Bird on a/the wire is # 2 with 94 cover songs.
On movie soundtracks Hallelujah is, however, unbeatable.
