These Are the Songs That Alexa Was Asked to Play Most in 2017 — by Their Unforgettable Lyrics

Jan 3 2018 - 2:15pm

Amazon's Alexa is a digital assistant of many talents. Alexa can turn on your lights, tell you the news, rope you into a rousing bout of Jeopardy!, or play any song you've ever listened to in your digital library — all with a simple sentence and in just a matter of seconds. But as we found out this Fall, one of the best features of the Echo version of Alexa is that her remit isn't limited to playing a tune by its proper title. Regardless of how much you butcher the title, so long as you belt out one accurate lyric [1] with which to track it down, Alexa can scan the massive Amazon Music library and instantly start playing the exact song you're looking for.

Naturally, the lyrics most frequently requested are a sight to behold. Back in October, Amazon took note — and treated us to the very first chart of Alexa's most requested songs [2].

Now, as we count down the final days of 2017, Amazon has released the definitive ranking of the top Alexa lyric requests of the year . . . and boy is it one hell of a list! And you're in luck, because we've pulled it all together for you for easy consumption — and, of course, oodles of giggles. So, without further ado, behold the top 40 lyric requests of 2017. But be forewarned: we can't promise that you won't have these one-liners stuck in your head for days to come.
