From the unrelenting fluttering that goes on when we fall in love to the crushing pain we feel when love is lost, matters of the heart have always been a popular subject in the music we listen to. We know it comes up a lot in all genres of music, but which artists have sung about love the most?

“Love as subject matter in music predates pop culture by millennia.”

In order to answer this question, Superdrug Online Doctor did an analysis of songs on the Billboard charts from the 1960s to the 2010s and found the artists below mentioned love the most.

1960s

  • Brenda Lee
  • Connie Francis
  • The Beach Boys
  • Elvis Presley and the Jordanaires
  • The Beatles

1970s

  • Bee Gees
  • Chicago
  • Barry Manilow
  • Carpenters
  • Stevie Wonder

1980s

  • Journey
  • Rod Stewart
  • Madonna
  • Chicago
  • The Pointer Sisters

1990s

  • Madonna
  • Mariah Carey
  • Celine Dion
  • R. Kelly
  • Mary J. Blige

“As popular music continued to evolve, love didn’t go anywhere….”

2000s

  • Rascal Flatts
  • Toby Keith
  • Nickelback
  • Brooks & Dunn
  • Kenny Chesney

2010s

  • Taylor Swift

While the study begins with music from the 1960s, Superdrug Online Doctor notes that love has been in song since the beginning of time.

“Love as subject matter in music predates pop culture by millennia,” the blog post about the study explained. “In fact, love in music dates as far back as the 8th century B.C., with Homer’s epic poems, the Iliad and the Odyssey, set to musical accompaniment. As popular music continued to evolve, love didn’t go anywhere, and it still serves as a dominant theme in many chart-topping hits.”
