It's hardly an accurate depiction of karaoke-song sales, but this iTunes chart—taken from a March 12, 2007 search—yields a few discoveries: Clearly, songs that can be performed in groups tend to do very well ("Lean On Me," "Y.M.C.A.," "Bohemian Rhapsody"), as do tracks with a strong female-vocal lead ("Black Velvet," "Man! I Feel Like A Woman!"). There's also a James Blunt song, but these are the troubled times in which we live. The biggest surprise, though, is the top-10 inclusion of Jefferson Airplane's "Somebody To Love." Do people really enjoy this song enough to place it ahead of "Open Arms" and "Wannabe"? Or does The Cable Guy have a bigger cult following than anyone could have expected?
